those comments made my brain hurt haha. that was wild........
Don't use Instagram anymore, what do they think is wrong with them? Looks like they're a new player out of Spain
its everyones brothers mother pissing and moaning at each other about brake fluid. that was almost entirely all the comments
I have my preference but I'm pretty ambivalent about it. These people need to chill out.
Of all the hills people want to die on in this industry, I think brake fluid is probably the stupidest one......
I kind of get it. I mean who wants to drink brake fluid that is not your favorite flavor? Not I.
It has a nice view from the top...
Ah, it's the pressure limiting the weight, got it. Thanks for clearing that up.
As an aside, does Bearclaw's bike have two main pivot positions?
New AM Flow longer travel bike and YT Decoy Avinox (AL?) launching later today.
The new Amflow is still a 150/160 bike but is now a mullet as standard.
Big tech day today! Here's a thread about all things Avinox M2S, with a bunch of new bikes that just launched:

Someone needs to tell Amflow 2015 called and wants it’s looks back. (I actually kind of dig it, getting very bored with how much everything kind of looks the same anymore)
Though at least a lot of companies are doing good paint jobs again. For a while there it was sooooooo boring.
Aww I was appreciating the novelty of being ignored and was hoping for a good 5 pages of speculation of what it could be
I highly doubt that any self-respecting bike brand would equip their bikes with S500 or S200 over Transmission. Even bike shops will have to explain to their customers why they can't just replace worn parts with the same new ones. IMO this is just a sales push towards Transmission, period, probably needed because the ole good Eagle works a bit too well.
Somewhat buried in the sea of e-bike news today, Moots & White Industries launched a new welded titanium crankset for the low, low price of $1349.
I’m just going to leave this right here.
CNC’d gizmo6000?
What the? How does the belt get into the rear triangle?
New Commencal coming April 14th per their website.
These look like very, very long chainstays.
Enhance anyone?!
New Clash? Overlaying that image with the current Clash, it doesn't look too much longer.
The Clash V2 is already on their 2027 Lineup page:

what price point are you imagining here? do you know how many brands had SX and NX bikes? Do you know how many of those bikes were sold and still ridden to this day?
I saw the original post and read the comments, user stated it was a split belt.
If you guys post insta screenshots make sure to include the username or hyperlink so people can take a look for themselves.
Spec. Epic 9 sometime in April
Stumbled across these on instagram, someone had them plastered all over different parts of their DH bike. I wonder how they compare to more mainstream TMDs or if it's just snake oil. $350 CHF is insane for some stickers regardless of the claimed benefits.
lol this again
Not a Gates belt and the teeth on the crank cog look either misformed with every other tooth joing, poorly 3d printed or just straight up hallucinated.
Sorry, I guess the other pics didn’t load for me! I’ll try again.
It’s a split belt, custom made set up to get it to work
I just put above. I usually try to do that for sure cuz I understand the value of digging haha
My internet was being whack and only 1 of my 3 screenshots uploaded on that first go.
Just got the other two to go up above
