I missed the whole Gundam era but this thing looks rad. Love seeing a unique paint job.

8/8/2025 7:38pm I agree, incentive is limited. I'm actually a sucker for rad paint jobs, and nobody is doing anything remotely cool these days on that front. Where the hell are the fades, splatters, metallics, neon colors, etc. No originality at all. Please drop some acid and get back to me.

I liked the general analogy of 'palate fatigue' with your BMX monster. It touches on a point that I thought was oddly relevant. I forget who said it, sadly. But they basically said, the MTB industry isn't sure where to go in terms of innovation and current customers have just about NO reason to upgrade. (The only sector that can kick this trend being e-bikes, which is a good helpful thing but in terms of cost still niche in the broader bike market I suppose.) But within the context of like 1x drivetrains, dropper posts, switching to 29er and now...

"Titanium hardware"? That's a super random detail. The 2018 Intense Primer 2019 was my first carbon full sus bike, never had a single issue with it. I'm still using the free carbon wheels that came with it in the promotion, and the sweet torque wrench kit they included. Would definitely buy again, but I'm more interested in the new Spider right now.

I've been smashing some new wheels coming out of Australia: https://ride-wingman.com/ The alloy rim is super tough and has held up better than the DT, Reserve Alloy and Stans I ran previously, plus it comes in silver

Canyon will be the first, it'll be called the phase shifter. No one on earth will use it, except for Jesse Melamed... and he will beat everyone's pants off with it. 
But seriously, canyon is primed for some sort of real time, variable leverage rate situation with their shape shifter. KISS... amirite?

8/6/2025 2:53pm I was very surprised by just how dang good my Dakine Drifter pack was. It outlasted my usage of it before I got sick of the weird colorway and wanted to try something else. The bladder being positioned at the bottom always felt great too. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Currently rocking this pack, bought 2 for $75 when...
