You know what? I'm OK with it.
Agreed, it doesn't bother me. I meant more that all the brands using the motor on new bikes will hop on the launch hype whether their product is ready for sale or not, and it is most likely not.
PNW Components has something coming out.
I would be psyched if Pnw did a graphic refresh
Maybe they're doing lights?
Or makeup.
On my SJEvo I had some velcro that I attached in the bottom inside of the frame and I'd strap down my tool bag. Made the bike dead quiet.
Genius idea I love it.
Blenki on what looks like the new frameworks for US Open Dual Slalom
Could be the wireless dropper that Kazimer mentioned is coming from an existing dropper manufacturer? One that has its battery/actuation at the bottom of the post?
Or... just a color/graphic update?
I feel like PNW is due a new post of some sort.
Im hoping its an electronic dropper to stick it to fox and RS
I guess? The disco ball emoji is a good hint…
I have noticed this graphic on the RS shock on an updated (color, spec wise) Smuggler. I have never seen it before, but it might be nothing. Seems like Transition updated a few bikes with new colors and spec, including Vivid shock on the Patrol.
New pivot is looking almost done - no longer lugged
The white band at the bottom of the piggy denotes D1 (new piston and rebound check plate), although the graphics seem to be specced/custom for this bike.
Openly shown on WynTV. Neko explains it.
remember that Boss came out with new suspension the other day? well it seems like they want to make brakes as well
bike yoke has a wireless dropper in the pipeline, pretty sure kaz meant this one.
get back a couple pages, full review is already in the enduro mtb app… launch should be in october.
It's completely silver. The stanchion and body are both polished silver.
That has already happened. Scott and Transition went 4 bar to name two (there are others I can't remember right now) while YT and Canyon expanded into the North American market after the patent ran out.
Yep, plus Marin and several others. Wonder if we will end up with this being the dominant design across the whole industry.
This brake was posted in that post as well.
and the name of the company was spelled right. how can you fuck up the spelling of a 3 letter company name?
Lots of details pics from a leak a couple of pages back
MXification (something @jeff.brines already talked about I think) of bikes as in "looks like a session" might just become the norm.
BOS S(uspension)… no need to get rude…
The Vala would also be the first time Santa Cruz use a trunion shock ?
not noticing the auto correct on the phone, i bet you're always right on everything aren't you.
