worked at Arc'teryx for 17 years (and then onto 7mesh for 6) and can say that it doesn't cost $18 to make the shorts. Their margins aren't much different then any other technical apparel brand so not 10x. At least this time they've actually made product. Back in the day they brought on Richie Schley as an ambassador to help with an mtb program without allocating ant design resources etc and killed the program before getting started.

String pot update... next iteration done and ready to ride. Testing duties will be delegated as I'm recovering from shoulder surgery but hopefully will have some results to share soon.

In regard to front axles and stiffness of inverted forks, the angular deflection of a shaft is defined as θ=(T*L)/(J*G). The key variables for axles are J (polar moment of inertia since we're talking about circles) and G (shear modulus of the material). J for a circular cross section is J(r1,r2)=(π*((r1^4)-(r2^4)))/2 where r1 is the OD and r2 is the ID (zero if solid). As for G, the shear modulus of steel is approximately 3x that of aluminum. Now for a comparison between 15 and 20 mm axles... Lets say we have a solid 15 mm axle and want to...

Pivot must think that EMTB motors are like Pokemon... gotta catch 'em all! Shimano EP8, Fazua 60, Bosch CX 5, Bosch SX, Avinox M2... only ones they've missed are the TQs.

Well it's confirmed (by email), RMU (Rocky Mountain Underground, the ski company) is making a bike (with DW) That likely explains the aluminium not-a-pivot we saw some time ago (photos in this thread). Well done folks, it was figured out here first

Well, opinions are like (you get the drift...) so take mine with a grain of salt. I think longer travel bikes are a better platform for comparing shock performance then shorter travel in general. As far as the nomad goes, the frame construction is well sorted to ensure no side loading of the shock and it does not change feel with a difference in shock construction (ie 10mm shock shaft vs 15-18mm, think previous gen to current gen dhx2). It has a middle of the road (moderate) amount of frame progressivity (linear progressive) and a rather middle of the road...

I have been riding my 2026 Rallon with both a podium and a 46mm offset Boxxer C1 and it's surprising how generally similar they are. The Boxxer is still great even though it's a 6ish year old fork at this point. I have the stock 62.5 stroke Float X2 as well as a 75 stroke Super Deluxe C1 coil that I have been switching between. I did a ride a few weeks ago that had around 1200m of climbing with the Boxxer and other than the limited turn radius (rarely an issue) it was a totally acceptable experience. I am...

Follow up to this one. I serviced the fork (lower leg service) which was basically new in the last video. There was some oil in it but definitely not the amount mentioned in the manual. I also maxed out the VIVID Air with 4 tokens since the data showed (for my newbie eyes) that the shock is working way more and blows through the travel in G-Outs and impacts after small drops. Both things made a very big difference! The fork is now way more active than before and also feels even better than it did before. I also feel...

Hey folks, thought I'd share my DIY data acquisition project. It's been about 6 months in the making (so far) and is up and running. My intention, once it's cleaned up and a few more of the wrinkles are worked out, is to open-source this. Hardware-wise, it's based on an ESP32 dev board on a custom PCB that breaks out the connectors and does some simple analog signal processing. It supports 4 analog channels and digital sensors on I2C. It has a small OLED screen and keypad, and optional handlebar-mounted switch for starting and stopping logs and marking events of...

AI isn't amazing at providing insights or recommendations for "novel" things. It's great at historical pattern recognition and replaying patterns into the future. The problem with trying to train an AI model with the tooling we have now is kind of twofold. First, wholistic system data. To recognize patterns that would be meaningful, the model would have to know more than what the position sensors can provide. It would have to take into consideration things like terrain (which you could in theory get from gforce data) but also rider body position and dynamics. It would have to know (from historical...

Here are some of the earliest known data acquisition photos I have seen in mountain biking. These are posted by @vintage mountain bike podcast. An interview they said that Greg Minar was riding this Honda. Very heavy and dangerous to with data on because the covers it would get caught in cross winds. We have come a long way!
