Would make sense to fill Jill's spot for a US woman rider

6/1/2026 7:54pm It will be interesting to see where they end up with as far as the new Enduro... Do they follow the new Demo like some think or refine what is still considered a capable bike?

I can assure you it wasn't. I am still riding the bike, but intentionally didn't have it in my possession until the day of launch, to avoid this exact thing from happening.

My neighbor, a Santa Cruz rep for the southeast, told me the SC marketing guy lives in Bellingham.

As long as there are tacos around is all good. You can't go wrong with tacos, even bad tacos are better than no tacos. Bikes are just bonus items for tacos.

5/30/2026 11:48am So, will we see a new Smuggler show up in the SC parking lot at some point?

5/30/2026 9:48am So, Transition dropped a spy shot of the new Santa Cruz to hype up the release of a competitors new bike? Unless Pon is buying Transition, that doesn't make much sense...

Taco enjoyers visiting Bham have to check out Mi Rancho, tacos are a dollar for some flavors and very cheap otherwise. Netos across the street if you like burritos. (please don't ban me for a taco based derailment)

Outpost Eats - throwing out a crazy rumour like "taco truck," so I had to investigate cause I've never had a taco there, and I love tacos. After some elite internet detective work, I am sad to say it's just quesadillas and bowls. The lemongrass pork bowl absolutely slaps, and the beer selection goes hard. Some Orbea folks who call Bellingham home are also fans of the Transition HQ.

5/29/2026 2:14pm We did see a shift a few years back from 2 year to 3 year cycles... Some companies said it was to give more development time, I think they also wanted more time to recoup tooling costs.. Also, companies seem less likely to wait for a certain time of the year to release new bikes bow.. Especially if the current...

5/29/2026 11:29am I think the tacos explain everything.. Also, isn't there a bike reviewer who wheelies everything also up that way? Was the bike in the parking lot a medium or an XL?

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.

5/29/2026 10:01am Do you think there was a potential ooops moment by a former Transition employee who lives in that area that also wrote the review? Or, maybe the PB guy who's also up that way? Either one most likely had that bike in the time frame that pic showed up...

As I noted a few posts back, GoPro disclosed they are now a "going concern". I dug into what exactly happened and posted it to my substack for those interestd. The short version won't surprise anyone in this forum... -DJI kicked their ass from the top -Smart phones kicked their ass from the bottom -They never really were a technology company, more of a lifestyle company masquerading as a technology company -There was some arrogance, especially when it came to their tangle up with DJI in 2013 (which you guys will hear on VitalMTB pod soon) -They became memetic as...
