We are one hubs look like they’re on the way. Reminds me of the old 90s Nukeproof hubs with the carbon shell.

Hey, yes these are from CounterShox. the blue one on the fork is straight off the moto bike. I tested on my Yamaha 450 first and then had to try on DH bike. I knew it would have a bigger effect. The mount is off a 85cc dirt bike, they have the same diameter clamp as dorado. The one mounted to the seattube is lighter, about 1lb. I 3D printed a mount so it doesn’t rub again the frame. These TMD are not adjustable, from talking to the folks at CounterShox, they have put so much R&D into weights, springs...

world champs pit bits video. what is this thing???

I've been considering a steel full suspension frame from a small builder for my next FS bike. It's been a long time since I've been so intrigued by a bike as I am that Apogee.

A release from Shimano? New Saint for world champs? Di2 XTR?

I think mechanical t-type is inevitable. There is a schematic for frames on the UDH website that includes a cable stop. Posted a pic of it months ago. I can try to find it again when I get back to my computer.

2 rumors, 1 leading to another... Part of it might have been discussed previously, but I couldn't find any references in the thread. Devinci is launching a new Troy, sometime in September. There staff openly talk about it. Made of aluminum only, welded in Canada, with frame storage, will have mullet capabilities. Rear travel goes to 150, with 160 fork. Reach is growing about 5 mm. All SRAM builds. Top one with GX AXS t-type. The less expensive build are NX. This release has been pushed back by more then 6 months now. Shop employees are saying there is an...

The vitalmtb forum getting ready to argue about electronic shifting, me included

Agree with all your points, but disappointed that you left electronic shifting off the list of hot topics. Sounds like we need to fight about that some more...

I've been away for a while, so not checking regularly for a couple weeks, so I spent a couple hours trying to catch up, prolly 12 or so pages the content and tone of comments has changed drastically in the last year. I can only assume with increased users and engagement, which has brought along with it, a much more negative and judgy tone. I was drawn to this comment section for the rumours and innovation (and spy shots, and great info from the likes or TEAMROBOT, Cascade, Dave, and many others) but I find myself turned off by the...

But there already is, the Status 2 (assuming we are going by travel). I can't see them dropping the Enduro completely. Maybe it won't get refreshed this year but I'm sure it will in 2025.

I just got an ebike and it's blowing my mind. I don't think I was ever an ass about it, but I was certainly a bit judgy before. Now, I get it. For me, it just eliminates the slow, sloggy parts of the ride – it's always cruisy and fun. Plus, the penalty for using reliable, confidence-inspiring parts – beefy tires, big brakes, hefty suspension – is essentially eliminated. Isn't going to replace analog riding for me, it's gonna get me on a bike more, because I don't have to search for motivation when I'm tired, time pressed, or it's...

I am currently evaluating approaches from Milwaukee and Ryobi

On the Propain Website you can already spec the Enduro Supersoft Contis, haven‘t seen that elsewhere.

Make your own bike park by installing a zip line from the top to the bottom, and send your battery down by itself every time you finish the climb. Shred down and pick up your battery again at the bottom.

There was a strong rumor going around recently that the Enduro was going to get an UDH update soon, like real soon. But crickets so far. I dont think you'll be seeing a new Enduro design till mid next year.

I really need to see you guys ride.

Because I would need a battery-powered motor to " ride" back uphill. I'm not against ebikes, I'll probably get one at some point because my trails are perfect for it, but you can't gloss over the undeniable difference between motor-powered (don't give me the "it's just an assist" argument) and regular bikes. They're different categories of mtb and, relative to not having a motor, having a motor is cheating if you're comparing it to experiences without one.
