Why do mountain bikes have so many cables? 6 cables. No dropper(?) and no front d?

brakes x2
Gears x2
suspension lockup x2

edit - didn't notice the lack of front derailleur. 🤷‍♂️

Pinarello don't make a MTB

They once made a fleet of MTB & BMX's for supplying the BC Go-Ride programme. The bmx's were proper BSO's.

why two separate cables for a single derailleur?

Extra cables will be shock and fork lockout.

lets open the floor to @BareNecessities

maybe the rear shock has 2 lockout cables

Front brake, back brake, gears, twin lockout, dropper post. BMC has a dropper built into the seattube

Predictions?

Apparently there will be a pit-stop before the first gravel sector, with the opportunity to switch bikes.

What copter said

No wonder he had a mechanical before the short track

... and during

Suntour seems an odd choice with a blank canvas. Spec seems alright mind. Maybe he's running Absalons's cast-offs.

They will be paying him/Trinity/Ineos

Have we mentioned the Isadore ad yet? Y'know the one with the rider putting on the chamois cream.

I can't find it on social media to share but here's another ad in a similar vein. It looks like they don't take themselves too seriously which I admire

Thanks to whoever unplugged Rob Hatch's mic

LOL. Castro just waved his cock in front of the camera. #SoGiro

Commentators seem very sure the GC teams will make this a race.

pit-stop before the first gravel sector, with the opportunity to switch bikes.

Gravel marketeers have definitely infiltrated the UCI.

Cadel being interviewed about 2010 Giro. I bet you missed this thread's favourite rider

A club run until the last 30 mins then ?

Not neccesarily, the GC guys can race each other without having to worry about the break

can't think of a witty comment on the gravé, but I'm enjoying the racing.

This is good already. Ganna putting the hurt down.

The dust from the motorbikes must be so annoying
