I still have this site bookmarked “Littermag.”

Microspine drivers are a blight against humanity and should die in a fire along with the stupid plastic spacer they require to prevent Shimano cassettes from creaking like a haunted house. The only thing that might be worse than the microspine interface and its woefully anemic, made of cheese, lock ring might be the actual cassettes themselves which in the year of our lord 2026 still are half singe piece pinned garbage that falls apart and half stamped metal plates with spacers. Seriously, 12 speed shimano stuff is the most disappointing experience I've ever had with a drivetrain. I hate...

Peru continental series track looks sick! (added YouTube version)

I'm sure I read somewhere the 28th May

Vital forum detective level just hit a new high...

Correct, though as of last year Float X2 is no longer twin tube and has moved to a mono-tube design. We kept the X2 designations to help the majority of riders understand what product relates to what category and what adjustments they can expect on the product.

I hope it's fine now.

I didn't have time to find the other pictures yet, but these are just the bikes. The tires obviously had the names in Schwalbe font. Mx

I’ll concede that I was a little harsh on the guy yesterday. I’m sure he’s a great dude. I personally find Mike more relatable. I would argue that the real “breath of fresh air” comes from Charlie over here… As for the “boomer core-lord” burn;

Spoken like a boomer core lord. That’s what the viral forums seem to have become though. Dario is actually a breath of fresh air in mountain bike media, same as Jason. His perspective is a welcome change from the usual safe, generic industry takes the rest of the media recycles time and time again.

What an interesting turn this would be, they already make backpacks and tailgate pads so there could be something to this. If I were a ski brand, after this abysmal winter in the west, I’d also be diversifying the portfolio to adding summer products… Big investment if true but the bike looks sick.
