24" came from BMX, why not 22"? Or is this 27.5" vs. 29" all over again just shrunk down?

Hey kids! I've got a chicken coup full of sweet 26" bikes to help you bridge the gap to the big wheels...
Wait ! Do you mean that wheels, like geo, should be proportional to your size ?!? Damn that's shocking I thought 29er was the solution for everyone, what should I believe ?! lol
Maybe one day we will have bikes with proportional geos (including rear end), and proportional wheel size per bike size ... imagine ...
Guys, wil they update the Bronson like they have done with the Nomad thsi year (glove box and few cm diff) ?

I'm quite sure they won't update it so soon, given it already has received MX treatment whereas I think nomad 5 with its full 27 didnt rly sell. But this is just guessing.
It's an XC/Gravel-ish affair, not really meant for heavier duty riding, comes in a 30 mm RF spindle/BB standard and has Cannondale chainring splines.
Not that crazy expensive at 420 €, ordering starts tomorrow, but upon seeing/hearing the details, it's decidedly meh. The Actofive crank looks a lot more interesting to be honest, more expensive though :/
Bikeradar is talking about the Atherton DH bike in their Malvern Classic coverage, but somehow a picture of what looks like a new Atherton trail bike made it's way into the slideshow:

Atherton confirmed in the PB podcast earlier this year they are working on a 170mm bike and a 130?mm bike. Apparently Affy was already riding the 170mm prototype so they probably aren't far from production considering how quickly Atherton can get them manufactured
New oChain. Looks like maybe externally adjustable?

Haha, for non italian speakers, the note says: "Its not a steak..., but maybe its worth..."

lighter than eewings and less than half the price, could definitely see that becoming popular for the XC crowd.

Guys that I am close with at a SC bike shop said they are getting a new Bronson. I was surprised to hear them say that so I asked them immediately, what changed your mind? They mentioned its getting a few new minor adjustments. Biggest being internal storage and thats about as much as they hinted. I didnt care too much since it would probably cost me a kidney to have one anyways. So I didnt ask more. Theres a #trustmebro for you.

As I understand it, the Bronson was supposed to get the Glovebox, hence the big downtube.. But, it wasn't ready to go at that point.. But given the supply issues, would delaying the release to get it on there have been a bad thing?

The 170mm bikes are the new trend these days, everyone’s releasing 1. It’s becoming the new “do-it-all-class” bike.
This thing turned out exactly how I imagined it. Pedals easy, carries good speed on all kinds of trails, plenty poppy and lively yet able to take the edge off rougher trails thanks to the coil shock. It now sits with Hope’s new Tech 4 brakes and a Fox 34, and I still ride it more than any other bike I have.
