I don't think a short travel eeb will keep you satisfied for long if you're already used to riding enduro bikes. Also, suspension seatposts on commuter eebs add a ton of comfort, and the storage racks on those bikes make them roughly 1,000,000x more practical for actual commuting.

I wonder what this aluminium piece attached to the brake caliper on Danny's bike is? Maybe something similar to this https://www.brakeprotec.com/en_GB/
Was it reported earlier this year the Maxxis would be making the Minion DHR in 2.5… or did I imagine it? trying to search for info but can’t find anything
How long was the rear hose? The test set I had the chance to try only had a 165 cm hose, barely fit on my bike. And the lever got a bit stiff after a few minutes of braking (longer or steeper descents), but I was on the factory bleed.
Let's be honest, people are downvoting comments on Lewis brakes because their marketing/brand HQ is in China, unlike every other brake company that has its marketing/brand HQ located in the West but has its products manufactured in China.

I'll double check with the shop that installed them. They didn't say anything about having to trim or swap out, though.

This is actually a cool product if it works, especially for commuter and gravel bikes that get hammered by gross puddles full of sediment. Could be cool for mountain bikes at a mud race, too. Never seen it before, so I'm a little curious and mostly suspicious.
Edit: looks like the off-the-shelf version that you can buy is 3D printed plastic, whereas Danny's version is billet aluminum. Aluminum seems way better for high heat/hard braking applications like downhill racing than sticking a plastic block under the head of your brake bolt.

I picked up a set for my Slayer without looking at the hose length... it's too short to work with the routing this bike has... My fault, but it was a major oversight on their part, in my opinion. Contemplating selling them instead of mounting them on a bike that I don't really need different brakes on.

I have a Slayer 29 and the shop said they had to trim a bit for the rear, so perhaps they're sending out inconsistent hose lengths? I wouldn't be super surprised, but who knows.
Anyone know anything about new stumpy or enduro from Specialized? Was Loic on a new bike for the mentioned shoot after Poland?
What I’ve heard from a dealer indicates the new enduro isn’t even on the horizon.
As mentioned above, new stumpy in a month or two, probably what Loic was riding/shooting the other week

This jives with what I’ve heard through the grape vine, as well.
Have the extra buttons on the right side of Bruni's bars been mentioned before? I had only ever seen them on the left side for the shock, so perhaps something going on with the forks too for Leogang?

Loic has been using this set up since at least Fort William. Definitely looks to control something in the forks.

Every eMTB is the best xc bike / commuter on the planet!

Spotted in Leogang today, looks like Flight Attendant doesn't quite fit in the V10 frame... I haven't seen a remote reservoir on a bike since 2006!
Since we’re all making assumptions here, I’d assume downvotes are for reviewing a brake (that’s not secret or prototype) in the tech rumors thread.
Please end the discussion about that brake here and take it to the brake thread. I’ve nuked that last handful of replies about it and orig review.
and whoa that flight attendant reservoir!
Whose bike is that? Rockshox, V10, Conti, HT pedals, DT wheels, SRAM drivetrain and brakes, Burgtec cockpit. Maybe Miranda Miller?
Previous gen V10 (10.7).
This jives with what I’ve heard through the grape vine, as well.
Miranda is in Namibia according to her IG. Small custom frame builder there is building here a gravel frame, likely for her YouTube series.
That looks interesting! Could be the bike of german rider Simon Maurer!
Klausmann 77 Suspension sticker on the right side lower leg maybe
Bingo! Looks like you are correct, I couldn’t quite figure out what the stickers on the fork said.

Looks like a mechanical shifter to me.
No cables are coming off that shifter. Looks like the old AXS shifter.

I dunno,still looks like a SRAM mechanical shifter to me.
Wheres the cable and housing then? Or not installed yet?

How far can the machining fashion go?
loic discusses his buttons a bit. for music?
Say my name 3 times! Dare ya.
