Hello Vital MTB Visitor,
We’re conducting a survey and would appreciate your input. Your answers will help Vital and the MTB industry better understand what riders like you want. Survey results will be used to recognize top brands. Make your voice heard!
Five lucky people will be selected at random to win a Vital MTB t-shirt.
Thanks in advance,
The Vital MTB Crew
I would guess that there's room for future development within the design...
I wouldn't be mad if @sspomer didn't let this thread get to 1000 pages and admin did some house keeping, lets be honest if it happened this forum would be on about 300 pages of actual meaningful info and spy shots.
I appreciate what you have to say, but being a moderator doesn't mean wielding a club to bash people when they post something when they think it is wrong. It is a larger picture that must be taken into account. And I am sure there are times when the moderators of these forums want to say something, but are unable to in order to keep the peace and not disrupt the flow that takes place within these digital pages. Being moderator is a horrible position to be in as you have to answer to ownership, management, and the consumer. In the words of Sergant Hulka, "Relax Francis"
I'm excited to see what the next 1000 pages have in store!
TLDR.
Lots of.......
Ho’s mad
Funny thing about a four bar system.. It maybe generic at this point, but there's enough data out there on them that it's not too hard to make it work decent..
Consensus crab.
Hi awesome vital community, in my math class I am doing a math project about mountain biking in which I need some data about you awesome riders, please take 2 minutes to fill out this short survey: Mountain Biker Demographic Survey – Fill out form Thanks everybody!
This may have been covered already, but would a linkage driven single pivot be imitation crab?
Krab it is
Surimi Pivot to be technical, but Krab Link has a nice connotation.
In honor of the 1000th page, we should vote on the best meme of 2025:
👍🏻 for “Crab”
👎🏻 for “6-7”
edit: Carcinization is the antithesis of innovation. Maybe we should keep crab talk on the crab talk forum and keep this thread focused on MTB tech rumors and/or innovation.
Unfortunately, crab loses on a technicality because it's from last year, but the alternative is voting for something I don't understand...
You need to get out more….
Just do a custom Vital Crab World Racing jersey. I'd spend 50$ on one of those
What's the 6-7 thing?
youth brain rot
Welcome to the first 1000th page! I'm sure sspomer will find some more off-topic posts to delete, so I'll see you on the next 1000th one, my fellow crab connoisseurs.
It relates to 6-bar and 7-bar link suspensions, sixfinity and sevenfinity for example.
Who uses a 7 bar suspension system???
Technically I think it’s only 5, maybe 7 at the brake caliper 😂
In on P1K
I should rename my projects to "crab edition" for my 4-bar versions of everything lol ( I have both 4 & 6 bar versions of my bikes I wanna get made)
If only we could see this on a downtube🤣
Contributing nothing, but want to be on the 1000th page.
There needs to be an actual rumor on the 1000th page. I've tried to dig up something, but only found eeb news. Mondraker, Orbea, Norco + others rumoured to launch Avinox bikes this spring.
Come on big brands, this is your opportunity to thank this forum for generating free marketing in the lead-up to new product launches. Give the people something juicy.
Welcome to the evolution of this forum. Just like bikes, its all crab.
OK boomer...
