not a fan of the new font

Looks like the new Marzocchi 38 chassis is close to being unveiled.

*asks for guys to only let lawyers discuss IP. *Proceeds to discuss geopolitical situations across the globe.

Let’s please keep global geopolitics out of the tech rumors thread.

lol they deleted my pic of the new altitude. hahahah. Just a picture of a bike in a parking lot with tape on it. Of all the spied pics here they delete that one? lol

Another angle of the lever. Between this and Flight Attendant on the Trek bikes, looks like electronics are about to hit DH.

Some Fox RAD bits on Asa's Frameworks...

China definitely doesn't care, but we can decide if we want to buy them.

That won’t matter. BMW once tried to sue a Chinese manufacturer over an X5 clone. The Chinese courts laughed them out, saying that it didn’t look anything like a BMW X5

I don't think it's xenophobia as much as it is that they appear to be a straight rip-off off of Trickstuff. Will be interesting to see if DT Swiss feels the same way (and does something about it).

If dealers are preparing websites that means it's close...

From 'another' site. Max's Cannondale Dave has a revised looking Bomber DJ .... new air cap and Damper adjuster. Very different decals and Gloss CSU and Lowers. Current bomber DJ's are on a mega sale .... Makes me think Marzocchi is getting more hand-me-down tech from Fox, since it's seems like Fox is refreshing their damper/(forks?) range .... Maybe Marzocchi will be getting a refresh across the board around the same time and maybe the Marzocchi Super Z (38mm) will be released at the same time.

I love gold the look of it the taste of it the smell of it the texture. I love gold so much that I even lost my genitalia in an unfortunate schmelting accident.

some gold lowers from fox.

Those of us here geeking out over this shit are 1% of bike geeks. The diaper does nothing to stop us from digging it up and nerding out over it. The same dude who almost ran you over on the way to the bike park because he had his head buried in his phone is not going to notice that there is a different idler on someone else's bike. Most of the population walks around blissfully unaware of their surroundings.

IDK, I think us nerds overestimate the average rider's capacity to care. I used to test a bit and rode uncovered bikes with no graphics - nobody ever asked me about the bikes, even riders on the same brand.

It's Streisand effect. 99% of people wouldn't notice the difference in the bike passing by on the trail. Wrap the same bike in a cover to keep it "secret" and now everyone notices.

I'm gonna cover all of our Sea Otter booth display bikes in black canvas with "DO NOT POST TO VITAL" graphics.

They glued theirs on.

The popularity of bike diapers the past few seasons just cracks me up. How soon before the UCI bans them?
