I'm recalling some article somewhere that someone talked with the owner or someone high up at Phoenix and it was confirmed that some folks ride prototype mules that never go to production but are still worth riding because they're sick bikes. I find it crazy that they'd already be proto-ing a new firebird after they just released an updated version (that had updates to the frame, so new carbon moulds I'm assuming), just doesn't seem likely or feasible. My money's on this is either a firebird prototype they built to test the principles from the phoenix that didn't end up...

Back to crab related rumours. Kavenz has started prototyping their VHP V8 which will be carbon tube and cncād lugs. They will be posting a series following along with all the details, similar to what they did when they created the first version of their frame.

It relates to 6-bar and 7-bar link suspensions, sixfinity and sevenfinity for example.

Hi gang, I won the Trans Cascadia dream bike raffle (Bronson CC, XTR, Chris King everything, Podium, Tenet kit, etc) and I can't in good conscience keep it. My local food pantries have been asking for donations to support families that go to our school and I'm hoping to raffle it off and have the proceeds go to them. Here's the thing: I have no idea how to create a raffle, and I'm wondering if you (YOU!) have experience with this sort of thing? I know I could probably just sell it and donate the proceeds, but guessing a well...

Something screams scor at me with this bike but they went out of business, somehowā¦BMC, the company behind it, might want to give it another try.

The BB/Lower shock mount area remind me of a Scor for some reason.

Wherever the relationship is now (seems healthy enough) its undeniable it wasnt at least a little bit dodgy. Adult team manager getting romantically involved with team member he signed when she was underage. I think it being called out somewhat isn't necessarily a bad thing so that sort of shit doesn't become normalised.

11/3/2025 2:04pm Looks are definitely really important. But one thing that wasn't mentioned yet - maybe because people here are to core/experienced to give too much weight to journalists' opinions? - is good press. Specificlally, bikes being praised across multiple media outlets which I consume, because that makes me think they will perform really well. Also if a bike's described strengths profile...

I have a real hard time believing AI is going to result in some sort of utopia for the masses. There's enough money right now that we could all get some level of UBI and be working less and spending more time on our passion projects. But when have the ultra wealthy EVER wanted to part with even a little bit more of their money? If we just give them a few more tax breaks to pay for their data centers and help subsidize the cost of the electricity and water to run them so they can become trillionaires, THEN...

My two cents. I like watching āsecond tierā riders right along side the pointy end dudes. Especially when you get to see a rider develop over a few seasons. The rider that starts to qualify more regularly, then becomes a top 15-20 dude, then top 10, and finally a podium threat. I like to see this on the same courses as Loic and Jackson, it gives me scale. I love WC racing, I pay to watch. I am not going to suddenly start paying close attention to IXS Cups. Iāll look at the results of a Monster Energy Series race...
