6/3/2022 2:46pm @Masjo (RE the rumors thread post, hope you see this) the bottom bearing is free of any routing. It's the top bearing that has stuff going through it. Regarding tucking under the stem, a) it doesn't look as clean (I guess), and b) (more importantly), routing behind the headset could add some more stress to the hoses and housings or you'd need more slack (i.e. make it look even worse). With fully internal routing you enter the frame completely vertically basically 'on' the axis of rotation and you can have the slack inside the headtube, top/downtube, etc. Of course that...

5/31/2022 6:05pm That would be a huge improvement on where we are currently!. The new RS shocks are something I think most places feel they can get behind. Can you also do shock bodies for the air shocks with no sag markings?. That would improve things massively for both RockShox, distributors and all service centres. 8 shock bodies are needed just to cover the 57.5-65mm stroke shocks currently and most are never in stock at the distributor.

5/22/2022 4:17pm DeeeNile is actually a river in Japan. It's fed by the tears from shimano mtb ft chainring & der engineers and product managers who to this day refuse to accept that 2x/3x is dead.

5/16/2022 5:40am I guess you've never serviced a dropper post?? You would be floored at the amount of mud and water that gets inside a frame. Unless it is completely moulded inside the carbon layup itself, nothing is completely safe from the outside. Putting a shock inside the frame is pretty much terrible in every way I can think of

4/24/2022 1:02pm I have a fenix 6 and I love it. I wanted a GPS watch with a long battery life and the ability to store music and play via bluetooth headphones for road bike rides. It has worked a charm and when not using the tracking/GPS, the battery will last 10+ days. My brother had a suunto which was not as accurate and would need to be charged daily (he now also has a fenix 6). It is a lot of money, but has a shit ton of features and hasn't once gone wrong. It has survived the mud and falls...

4/23/2022 8:32pm Are front and rear lobsters even allowed in the UCI rulebook? This could be a major aero advantage..

3/24/2022 8:41pm Oof yeah that's about right. Anyone know what makes them different? Are they 3-ply? Just curious, as Kieran Bennett on the inside line talked about intense making 4ply tires.

3/24/2022 10:13am On Greg's bike he's got "test pilot" tires, but the tread looks like it could be a shorty. Is maxxis working on a new casing? https://p.vitalmtb.com/photos/users/2/photos/149857/s1600_20220323_UCI_DH_WorldCup_Lourdes_H8A2486.jpg

3/21/2022 9:00pm Yeah thats a good point about the elastomers. I definitely like the idea of more comfort but I don't think the Buttercups are the best solution. I do like the idea of easier servicing though and I haven't been impressed with the current charger damper. I'm no engineer and I don't quite understand what makes a good damper but I...

3/20/2022 5:58pm https://wheelbased.com/2021/12/29/bicycle-suspension-components-by-sram… Anyone looked at this? I hadn't checked wheelbased in a while, but it looks like the patent document linked in the article shows the new charger damper. Items 347 and 346 are related to an IFP of sorts which would be a major departure from the current charger dampers. The patent might just be related to the buttercups, but...

3/9/2022 12:42am Man, How cool would it be to see Intense just come out with a line of high quality aluminum, Horst Pivot, made in Cali bikes? Bring them back to their roots. Ditch the carbon, get back to what made them great back in the day

3/4/2022 11:07pm I don't know exact numbers, it depends on how much you ride. When I used the maxxterra I went through about two sets of tires a year. Usually I'd ride a set from March till about July and then swap to a new set. The maxxgrip Don't last quite that long I'd say about 3 sets per year. Nice thing...

3/4/2022 1:32pm Amen! Same here. Although I did just switch to double down assegais just because I think they feel a bit better than the exo+. From my own experience/reasoning, I think the stiffer carbon rims are what get most people. I am of course speaking anecdotally, as I have never done any testing to prove my theory. By far the most...
