Yeah, those are all locations that definitely should not pivot.

For more than a decade MTB forks have had very little space in the lowers for lubrication. Like 10-15cc of volume. If you add more than that then the fork becomes very progressive at the end of it's travel. Since the lauch of Buttercups most riders have complained that those forks are very very progressive at the end of their travel. Well the Buttercups sit in the same tiny space that the lower leg lubricant goes. I would expect that the new extra volume add-on on these pro forks is to make up for the loss of volume from the...

would you say that you're...... pivoting away from them

Not sure if this has been posted but got a picture of the bottom of the Brosnan's Boxxer at the US Open. I assume this is what's on the Zebb too.

I don't think 4.23mm chainstays are possible..

I feel I fall into the majority there.. I ride my gravel bike like a road bike that allows for more options. Mine is set-up more along the lines of what some now call an all-road bike. 2x drivetrain and 38s let me do some fun dirt and still roll decently on the pavement. I'm not sure how I feel about suspension and gravel.. Maybe if I was racing or doing longer rougher dirt rides, I might want it, but I'm in the camp of if I feel I need suspension, I have a mountain bike..

Gravel bikes has become too wide of a category of bikes, what we need is subcategories! The downgravel, the enduravel, the graero...

Not technically a mountain bike tech rumor, but it's very funny to listen to gravel riders insist they aren't just reinventing 1990s mountain bikes and then see product releases like this... https://www.bikeradar.com/news/rockshoxs-rudy-xl-gravel-fork 60mm of travel and clearance for 2.25" tires. This thing would have crushed the NORBA XC circuit. All it's missing is some stanchion boots.

this thread is good again good job everyone and thanks ball bearing helmet for making it happen

Ceramic bearing upgrade for my helmet, please..

gonna come around the corner with my conventional helmet and low-side on spent RLS helmet marbles I can just feel it

RLS is so effective, that in an independent study, RLS was found to reduce the risk of concussion by 4x on average compared with conventional helmets*** Yet the study linked is 1) Not peer reviewed 2) Not actually published yet 3) Is hugely biased. Quote from the study: "Competing interests: This work was funded by HEXR Ltd. All authors are employees of HEXR Ltd or Dropmatics Ltd, which may benefit from the findings." HEXR is the company behind RLS, so they directly benefit from a study about increased safety from RLS. Also, canyon supplied the helmets for the control group...

Yo Dawg, I heard you liked Mips, so I put a Mips on your Mips, so you can have a helmet in your helmet on your helmet.

“RLS is first and foremost designed to protect what makes you, you”, says RLS founder and CEO Jamie Cook. --->Image from RLS site 😆

I’d rather cut my face open than be a vegetable

...surely Derailleurment

Should we make a Derailleur Tech Rumors derailment?

The bike park destroys your derailleurs in 3-4 trips? I get years and thousands of miles out of rear derailleurs that are usually still going strong when a crash or an errant stick takes them out. Have you heard of maintenance?

Gotta love people who write an essay about wireless shifting who then tell everyone else to stop talking about wireless shifting.
