1 day ago Honestly I see a few still running gearboxes, that centralised weight does help with DH bikes and the changing gear while not pedalling is useful too. What I don't see them running is belts, they'd 100% be running them on chains instead because of how bad the belts are at clearing mud.

7/10/2026 9:17am How many of those DH teams do you think would be running gearboxes right now if there wasn't a €100k carrot being dangled before them?

7/10/2026 9:15am Hey, let's stay on topic here. This is the UCI 32" rule debate thread. Seriously though, that aluminum hydroforming and construction work looks really clean. It's really hard to tell where the carbon models end and the aluminum ones begin in the website photos.

5/9/2026 1:57pm Lots and lots of CAD. If you have a good gaming PC and you also like riding bikes, you can do CAD pretty easily.

5/9/2026 1:55pm I had this exact same thought before reading your comment. We know skin suit is faster but that doesn’t matter. The 32 is so ugly.

5/9/2026 1:55pm *tinfoil hat on* Big MTB paid an outrageous sum to Neko to show off 32” since they know everyone loves what he’s doing and simply can’t hate on him.

5/9/2026 1:53pm With Santa Cruz crew shamelessly parading around Galbraith on the unreleased Tallboy I wonder how soon I am gonna see a spy shot of the carbon version? I know there was one that looked aluminum on here a month or so ago.

5/7/2026 2:50am my 2 cents after spending some time on the bike is that I really want to spend more time on the bike. A couple anecdotes here: I was surprised at how well it pedalled and the lack of heft that I was expecting after looking at it. After giving it back for a month I had to film on it with no time to get familiar again. First trail was a rapid North Van classic that I have ridden a bunch and I was immediately sending it. It was extremely poppy while still being planted, able to pull for all...

5/7/2026 2:48am For anyone who's curious what Weagle says about the Nighttrain suspension layout but doesn't want to scroll through IG comments, answering someone who asked about the design intent behind the bike: "Initially trying to gain a bit more mid corner traction on race bikes but as I hated [typo?] on the idea more and more I began to appreciate that it solves a lot of other issues. Definitely not an immediately intuitive benefit for me, it grew on me. In the end it turns out that by the numbers and by seat of the pants human pedaling a bike, this...

5/7/2026 2:48am Thanks! Apparently superboost was to accommodate the chainline of the dual chain solution. My best guess was that RMU wanted to make a bike, probably didn't know how to, so they bought a full suspension solution from DW. I'm not going to pretend I know that much about suspension kinematics and such so I won't comment on the solution itself. Now...of the bike brands that ran superboost : Pivot(doing well, still on 157), Evil(back to 148 boost for most bikes), Knolly (basically chap 11 bankruptcy), Devinci (mostly back to 148 boost except the Chainsaw), WAO doesn't make bikes anymore (the...

5/7/2026 2:47am I can guarantee they won't be able to show a single graph though (like for axle path) because DW think's he's the Wizard of Oz or something and no one can see behind his magic curtain.
