using a oneup 210 but could fit a 240 easily on a size L sb160.

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

Downtime mentioned how widespread the breeden bar ends are becoming, with people like Bruni, Pierron and many many others using them. Owning a pair, having recovered from 2 broken hands (left then right) in 3 years, I've found they definitely live up to the hype and really helped with arm pump and security of my weak hands on the bars. The bar ends are a much more interesting innovation than I originally expected, because they significantly change the biomechanics of the upper-body while riding. Stopped by the Orbea pits this weekend and they've cut grips down (pretty sure it was...

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...

Remember the good old days when we talked about bikes on here?

Thumbs up for the magazine. I miss print.

Show us on the doll where the X2 touched you.

Miss Richard Cunningham...

@Outlawed has any new bike ever come without the chainstay protector already peeling off?

This was so cool to hear.

Stunning new UK-made 120mm bike by Hope, called the HB 912. More details over on the red website (- photo also shamelessly stolen from there😁)

Would definitely be interested in more information about the supposed equity partnership with Crestline. Did one party drop the other? Did they both decide to call it a day after a brief year of net zero?

Following a single thread was very convenient. Probably why this thread was so successful. Can we just start a single new thread - tech rumors 2025 or whatever?

Guys a straight clown and like Paul Aston and others with mediocre skill levels use all these gimmick to try to get them to ride faster but somehow never get any better

Hey look what I found in the parts bin: This was one of the last things I worked on at RS before I left... goal was to control big hits by weakening or slowing down the return of the air spring. I run my setup with a lot of spring and no damping, so getting bucked on big hits is part of the deal. This thing 'gulps' all the air in the positive chamber on compression and lets it out with a tiny delay (since it all has to go through the tiny hole to get out). No delay on...

If you buy a good set of carbon wheels with lifetime warranty you do typically hold onto them over multiple bikes.. it’s what makes them cost effective.

Everyone knows the only way to get your bars and levers juuuust right is to adjust them with a rusty multi-tool in the trailhead parking lot while your buddies are waiting on you to start the ride. The more exasperated your friends are, the more precise the alignment.

Can I patent the ole one eye squint? For real tho, equalizing the gap on each side between the sanctions and bars is way easier than aligning the stem with the tire.

side note - CC recently updated eewings to the sram 8 bolt mount.
