Me: Can we stop and get a 6-bar suspension from Yeti? Mom: We've got 6-bar suspension at home: For older Amflows, but I suppose the new ones might be supported as well: https://www.mklinkage.net/

"Speaking to the eBike riders I see on the trails here, they're all shifting to lower-priced bikes as they've realized that they can without sacrificing performance." This lines up with a hypothesis I've been thinking about for a while, which is that I think so much of the weirdness of the bike industry and bike customers (obsession with grams and weight, obsession over granular differences in tire feel and suspension tuning, and willingness to spend enormous amounts to customize and upgrade a stock bike) comes down to the weakness of the human motor and the human mind. We only generate...

I bet there's a link between the GoPro's decline and the soul crushing boredom of all the videos that our buddies made us watch.

But that would require actual investment....

UCI ENDURO WORLD CUP - ROUND 1 RUDEAU AND CONOLLY BATTLE TO VICTORIES AT LOUDENVIELLE-PEYRAGUDES Alex Rudeau hung on to victory by a slender margin in the Men’s Elite UCI Enduro World Cup in Loudenvielle-Peyragudes (France), while Ella Connolly continued her dominance of the Women’s Elite category. 30 May 2026 – The WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in Loudenvielle-Peyragudes, presented by FACOM, brought riders to the popular terrain of the French Pyrenees - which has hosted the Enduro World Series since 2021. Despite riders competing over 49.8 kilometres just seven tenths of a second separated the Men’s Elite competitors...

wyntv rapid reactions - 31:57 - good interview with loic. he says he had the Astars airbag setup on and he thinks it saved him. "i'll never race without it."

Strong disagree. At the point where you are taking quali laps you know exactly where you're going and where the course is. Tape wouldn't have made it any different.

Jackson’s DSQ had nothing to do with the poles themselves, other than the wind blowing him outside of them. If it had been tape instead, the same thing happens except he’s tangled up in tape too.

finn went 82kph / 51mph in q1. that's mental.

The anti-CCLTV

all they had to do was add an E and an I haha

Looks like Yeti ended up with the YT race truck. The railing and curved awning give it away.

Here's something neat, came on a DH Rallon. UDH direct mount Shimano saint derailleur. Not sure if orbea is the one making this or Shimano but interesting to see.

Transition has the dank taco truck thing going on Everyone in Bellingham works for transition or evil or Kona Santa Cruz marketing was absolutely tempting transition to post that photo on purpose Becasue the embargo was like a week away and the bike was ready to ship We got them all looking for ways to sneak the obvious and make it look sneaky or obvious Nobody got fired and many Tallboys have been sold Smugglers still heavier and spur geo Is conservative compared to tb Tacos. It’s all about tacos.

When everyone knows new bikes are to be tested in Transition's parking lot

"So, you're telling me that Pivot came all the way to Golden Colorado, a mere 1.5miles from Yeti's HQ to telemetry test one of their bikes?"

I made custom crowns for some dorados a few years ago doing the same thing

Haha, yeah that was me! I saw it again two weeks ago, it was full of telemetry devices this time. I asked when it was coming out and the guy tried to tell me it was a Pivot this time 'round. Can't imagine how it doesn't get released later this summer/fall as a '27 model considering how tidy it currently looks and the fact they are riding it at high noon on the most popular trail network in the Golden. Might need to just post up in the bushes with a camera next time...
