Don’t know if this counts as a bicycle but I saw this wild dude at the megavalanche a few years back

I'm overdue to write that Telum review, but in short it's phenomenal. If the damper is anywhere near as good as the shock, it will be unreal. I couldn't believe how much better my fork felt with the MRP Lift damper, so I'm totally down for a Vorsprung fork damper.

Better in engineering terms != better in practical terms. There's a lot of people out there with heel rub on 148 frames. I also don't really like the idea of my $400 electronic derailleur being any further outboard than it already is. Sure, 157 is better on paper, but in the real world, 148 works fine for everyone from beginners all the way up to world cup pros.

Obviously, it's the cousin of Boaty McBoatface

They used to make some really nice frames. Now it’s all made and designed so poorly. I can’t tell you how many things on the few I’ve owned that could EASILY have been improved or fixed with 5 seconds of thought. I could within 5 mins of unboxing my frame I found multiple disappointing features. It’s upsetting they charge premium prices for low grade quality. Still fun bikes if you get a discount but for full price you’re getting basically catalog frames with the lowest quality hardware. I went from a transition to a Santa Cruz (the frame cost 400...

Personally hoping for a longer rear center for size large frames and up. I would really like to ride an XC bike that has a longer wheelbase but stays true to short travel and good pedaling manners. There is hope as this is what I imagine Forbidden will be doing but there is nothing really like that out there at the moment.

And now for something entirely different - magnetorheological damper for MTB. Article in Czech: Grixi: z laboratoří VUT na trh míří budoucnost odpružení | DoleKOP.COM

It's working, when was the last time you heard reports of the Germans sinking a Manitou fork?

Manitou has selected this particular paint scheme to make it so German U-boats will be unable to accurately estimate Manitou riders' speed and heading.

Ballast Bro?

A masshole. Wait, that's taken already.

I once sent PVD an honest question by email about a technical drawing on his website and he answered : "W hat your asking falls into the 'that's a stupid question' category. Only a terrible person would answer a stupid question." Such a nice guy

Soooooo, anyone got any rumors or should we rename the thread to "Hot takes and arguing"...?

add dougal to that list now, Hes completely ignoring physics because he believes.

Ah yes, the famous Absolute Black method 😬

Rulezman, Jan Heine, PVD, Grant Peterson... cycling seems to perversely reward people with big egos, big opinions and questionable applications of scientific principles.

This guy is so far up his own ass that he prob used his bush resizing tool to make stools slide out without any friction

I was genuinely intrigued and was thinking of buying one of his stems because the BMB ones are so damn expensive, but an advertisement that calls people who disagree "haters and low IQ" immediately kills any chance of sending money his way.

You mean low QI 😉😂😂😂

That guy continues to strive for the asshole of the year award. Any validity of his opinion has been removed by that kneepad/short gap and that’s even before we talk about his “low IQ” dismissal of everyone who dares to disagree with him 😂
