I will never not downvote AI slop

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.

As others have shared in this thread, the unknown six bar bike was spotted all the way back in 2023, before the newest Yeti bikes with the latest cable ports launched. To my eyes, the cable ports on that new mystery prototype are a dead ringer for those old SB165 cable ports. SARCASM MODE ENGAGED: Did you even read the thread before posting? Disappointing.

The cable entry design at the headtube, lack of in frame storage, and the overcomplicated pivot/link situation at the bottom bracket, all lead me to suspect Yeti. I feel like Yeti needs something complicated like dw6 or switchfinity is to convince people they are buying the premium suspension option. Meanwhile, suspension designs from 30 years keep winning every DH world cup

Your Druid v2 is an inverted crab

CRABFINITY

Yeti human powered bikes going to sixfinity👀

Well, I haven't heard this one before. 🙄

435 chainstay across the board... Brian Cahal has left the chat

I think that Cornelius has completely outclassed Fox in the Upsidedown fork space. Options, quality, weight, price, reliability, performance, etc. Intend wins on every aspect. What the Podium did for me, is make me really interested in the Intend...

Hey look what I found in the parts bin: This was one of the last things I worked on at RS before I left... goal was to control big hits by weakening or slowing down the return of the air spring. I run my setup with a lot of spring and no damping, so getting bucked on big hits is part of the deal. This thing 'gulps' all the air in the positive chamber on compression and lets it out with a tiny delay (since it all has to go through the tiny hole to get out). No delay on...

Cleaned with a rag and wax lives. Worked like a charm. Thanks. Also used it on my squeaky sprindex and spring collars. Will just start dunking my whole bike in it at this rate. Also, I had a lower eyelet centre sleeve from a rockshocks in my ext. It rattled. Changed it for a fox one and everything tightened up.

We deserve a separate thread for stem and handlebar rumors

Vital folks will literally screenshot pinkbike comments and still call it “the other site”

Are SPD's the new stem?

🤮
