I spent a good chunk of last night trying to evaluate DJI's move through the lens of business and corporate strategy. While it might sound far-fetched, I genuinely believe DJI could be making a move that fundamentally changes the landscape of the e-mtb industry. A few thoughts: Amflow: I have it on good authority that Fox's number one customer is Amflow. If true, that should signal to the industry that Amflow is not a demo product. It's a company going after the likes of Specialized, Trek, Giant and other major incumbents. To add, there is nothing holding them back from...

I have been riding my 2026 Rallon with both a podium and a 46mm offset Boxxer C1 and it's surprising how generally similar they are. The Boxxer is still great even though it's a 6ish year old fork at this point. I have the stock 62.5 stroke Float X2 as well as a 75 stroke Super Deluxe C1 coil that I have been switching between. I did a ride a few weeks ago that had around 1200m of climbing with the Boxxer and other than the limited turn radius (rarely an issue) it was a totally acceptable experience. I am...

Unfortunately I'm an idiot, so I'll answer your question even if it is sarcastic. I found a known value that's easy to measure, the rear brake rotor. I set it to 203mm (as mentioned in a bike check from my memory) 16.2cm = 6.377 inch, rounded up however the app used rounds things and also not a perfect angle. Closest match for phone size would be a Iphone 16/17 pro max at 16.3 cm or a google pixel 9/10 at 6.3 inches. I'm going to go with the iphone 16/17 pro max. I should touch grass. I'm also either going...

Paragon Machine Works is gone. Very sad for the custom-built crowd, including all the thousands of people out there who are running their sliding dropouts. Those parts aren't going to come easy! I personally have two bikes using PMW parts, although one of them is currently getting it's rear triangle redone. Perhaps I'll be asking for them to change from sliding dropouts to standard based on this announcement? Link to Radavist article I had a really good chat with a friend of mine over dinner last night who is pretty involved in the industry. Knolly is not the only company...

3/15/2026 5:18am Regardless of design, the only way one can truly take a foothold versus presta is to license their design for very little cost or free like UDH. Steve Peat long relationship with Santa Cruz most definitely helped his brand make a updated version of the fillmore design. The one part of the fillmore design is that I don't think it...

3/14/2026 7:09pm Clik valves are cheaper than Fillmore valves and you can actually convert your current tubeless valves to clik by just buying the valve core. Had Fillmore for 3 ears and no issues with them, only set up my new wheelset with the clik valve so just aired up the tire for the initial tubeless setup. Haven't tried setting up DH...

There was a Dyname 4.0 non horst link bike that was about to launch last year that didn't because of the issues they went through. I bet that's about to finally drop as it's been sitting on the back burner since their December '24 insolvency announcement.

3/5/2026 5:53am I have heard from a LBS that Norco should have a new affordable simple Horst link DH option like around 6k CAD for a complete DH bike with Rockshox Select suspension for this spring-summer.

2/27/2026 11:52am Not sure if there is really an advantage of those bash guard being alu versus the stock plastic sram one. On the other hand, I wish those 3rd party chainring maker would make their chainring compatible with the sram bash guard.

Ripley SL next Tuesday. teaser on the Ibis insta, you can see the general shape. This should appease all the dad shredders on MTBR who keep telling me the V5 is too much of a trail bike now.

2/10/2026 5:24pm IIRC Vee and Vittoria (Lion tires) are the main bike tires factories in Thailand. So if another brand of tires is made in Thailand I would think there is a good chance it's one of those two. The other main bike tires factories are in other countries.
