Adam Brayton trolling Bernie is one of the greatest internet gags of all time. My personal favorite was the 'public bike park' series feat Roidy 🤣

I honestly think it’s holding up really well. I should be running a MaxTerra rear, which would fair even better than MaxxGrip. It would take me a few weeks of riding to get 15k descending back in SoCal, so considering the accelerated testing I’ve done in 3 days on some dry/rocky trails, I’m impressed.

Fire off some bottle rockets to celebrate its second coming!

Finally! A proper electronic DH rear derailleur. I've been wondering when we'd be able to pay $1500 to ruin three derailleurs on the same rock in one race weekend. Can't come fast enough.

There's a multi-page thread about that: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/modern-geo-talk-chainstays-stack-re…

Fox Factory Q2 Results - My analysis. // Blog // Substack I know @sspomer may post this in it's entirty seperately (or here) which I'm (obviously) cool with. Also, this graphic is relevent so I'm posting it as a stand alone.

Can people redo that drop out test by tightening the pinch bolts incrementally instead of torquing one down completely before doing the other? I know the manual doesn't say that but its the proper way to tighten any pinch bolt system

I've heard through the grapevine the Transition proto we've been seeing is dual 27.5 and may or may not be bringing back a name that hasn't been used in a minute.

Why are you ruining the chainstay length discussion with this actual tech news?

Lets refer to the past my brothers. Dont be this guy. No one likes this guy. https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/2020-MTB-Tech-rumors-and-inno…

*Crab rumors

The second law of thermodynamics in the Vital Forums: all tech rumors eventually devolve to a discussion about chainstay length.

My guess is they make enough little changes to the bike to label it a new model and restart the process.

king crab link?

The single review on the site is something to behold: " Blulans? Mor like BluAwesome! S11ULT a bit more expensive than a handful of bikes but this is carbon fiber and you know what that is to mean: top of the notches and the best buck bang on the market area. I have one in my dreams and in the garageway I are many reasons for superior performance. Firstly is one shock and then another shock. The response is overwhelming. For the number 2 reason is the Blulang legacy and industry leading excellence. If you are familiar with Role Royce...

The years is 2043.... All work cup racers are either on Commencal, Santa Cruz or Frameworks, with Bruni still racing a single Specialized, the 87th iteration of "The Proto" I've always had a soft spot for Intense. An M1 was the first real DH bike I ever laid eyes on and I had an old Tazer FSR as a trail bike at one point when I was a kid. The 2017ish Tracer is still one of my favorite bikes I've owned as well. I do feel like they were back and forth the last few years with getting their mojo...

PSA NOT A UNION POLITICS THREAD

It's a bold strategy, that's for sure
