Guy was an absolute treasure for cycling and I'm so stoked they're keeping his site up in all it's 90's splendor...

It’s a satire page. Once you’re aware it’s great entertainment.

Making way for a TQ system to slot into there ?

Specialized dropping a highly anticipated elite level S-Works product, and you’re surprised…?

This Just In! Stark Motorcycles is going to be joining the MTB world with its EBike Called the Stark “NotaMoto”. This ebike has 80 horse power and a gear box. Apparently they made the decision to join the bike industry after one of the executives said- “ I mean its all bullshit. You can buy an ebike from Specialized at the same price as our motorcycles. But with like 1/1000th the power. We should just put mountain bike wheels on a Varg and just sell it to them. Theyre just in denial that they want a motorcycle and want to...

It may not be a "whole separate sport", but there sure is a "whole separate text thread" for the e-bike riders in my friend circle. Now we rarely have big group rides as the crew is split in two and it's a pain to ride laps with both bike types together. So I'd say its a "whole different discipline" of pedaling a rolling thing with your feet.

I get that it's shorthand for e-bike It means no more than this

The use of analog to describe mountain bikes is ironic AF

I think that's sort of the point, the only metric anyone cares about is the motor. The essence of riding an eBike is what the motor gives you. The rest of the "bike" part takes a back seat. And no one seems to care, even though the slippery slope foreboding was waved away as an irrational fear

I've heard about that. It's Enduro that's willing to give up its right to vote in order to disappear and be protected from the horrors happening to other racing genres. Right?

"Enduro" is dead, time to dust off "All Mountain".

Huh, I'm not even mad. Unlike mountainbikes, a bikepacking ATB seems like the perfect application scenario for 32" wheels.

If only someone made a linkage that allowed a longer shock to to be run on the Levo and it yielded 170 mm of travel. That would be wild.

Levo 4 Evo. We need a thread listing worst mouthful bike names.

Just don’t crash then 🤪

For high frequency loads it can. AFAIK Hucking to flat or nose casing a jump would be a low frequency load and it would be reasonable to approximate it as static and assume that full force is transferred.

In static cases that is true, in dynamic cases the stiffness influences the peak force that is transmitted.
