Guy with "middle eastern" background here, lets go back to mtb rumors...

> Have to Wonder when shimano is going to update their motors to stay relevant It’ll take 10 years and whatever they release will already be outdated

I doubt it, he's sponsored by Bosch. He's trying to discredit the opposition?

Bike park rental fleet purchasing managers are licking their lips right now. All jokes aside, it's good to see Norco filling out their Range (pun intended). They've got everything from XC halo builds to entry hardtails to this new park bike, while still seeming a bit "core" with Brage and the DH team. It's refreshing compared to the appeal to Bentonville and Marin County dentists that Specialized is leaning into.

Wow, there really seems to be a resurgence in auto industry crossover product development lately...for reasons I can't really understand, given the stagnation in the bike industry.🤨 Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing someone drive up to the trailhead with a car equipped with Dunlop tires, Bilstein shocks, and Brembo brakes, with a bike on the rack with a matching setup. Maybe we can get Recaro to start making saddles, and Momo to start making bars and grips to keep the party rolling.

Next thing you know people will jump out of airplanes and trust their lives to some strings

Friend of mine has been beating the crap out of them ever since they were available. A lot tougher than I expected. The argument that it would be hard to source one on a trip is kind of silly. You can literally just put a couple in your pocket…

I'm waiting for someone to make the claim they have the roundest wheel ever.

I doubt @ntm95 is interested in gaining 10 lbs instead of riding an ebike lol. Regardless, is it accurate to treat rider weight as purely sprung? Your body is full of dampers and springs that move independently from one another. Very different from a solid battery in your downtube that’s always going the same direction with the same natural frequency.

You don’t ride skis, you ski skis. Got your own verb for that one, please keep it.

Heard on a podcast Jesse Melamed talk about helping out a local company, I'm pretty sure he rides on RMU skis. He talked about how it ended up on the vital forum so more fuel to the fire. Now here's hoping Dave W let's them have some longer chainstays.

I am betting its the bilstein shock we saw a while ago (Pic borrowed from P

There's no way the Levo R becomes "ubiquitous" at $9k+ starting price.

Based on the soundtrack for that ad they should call the adjustable shock mount '...change my pitch up...' (for the ageing Prodigy fans out there).

Oh cmon I really want to hate it because derailleurs are so 1932 but I can see why they hired Pete outta the park :D Also, is there a side effect of gearboxes rolling in, now that old school dh drivetrain costs as much as a gearbox? On another side note, check out this wild theory seeing y'all talk about mavens. (I have ridden way too many brakes from all brands about): I think people on mavens are only just about finding out that their brakes need to be well bled because these brakes actually do $h1t. I've ridden way...

RAAW addressed this issue by using modular dropouts. They first did it with their Yalla DH bike which has now trickled down to their Madonna v3.2. This is what the DH industry might head towards to accommodate UDH. Also can we take a moment to drool over how the black and silver SRAM design works with the RAAW frames 🤤
