I used to splice dyneema DUX for sail boat rigging. Part of the process was a pre stretch to settle in the splice and get any stretching done before the customer used it. After the truck winch exploded on me we switched to hydraulic rams. That stuff is crazy strong.

That video makes me think of those fever dreams you can have where the dream replays over and over. Voices dont match, things seem off, its all pointless, and its very annoying. Ah they nailed the fever dream marketing feel.

I've heard of dyneema being used for applications where you don't want your rope to stretch, but never dyneema fibre composites. That's actually really cool.

There are a few brand that have dabbled with mixed composite like adding dyneema (time) but with low amount compared to carbon fiber.

In general, aramid has significantly lower tensile strength than carbon fibre. Some quick research suggests that aramid fibres are also more flexible, but I doubt that has much of a bearing on the rigidity of the composite. It might make it more durable though. My guess is that the general preference for carbon fibre in the bicycle industry comes down to cost.

I was on my phone and didn't zoom in enough. Okay then return of the Diamonback Knucklebox. Only soo many ways to package a vertical shock and get a useable LR.

Ari crab link. But if just doing another crab link no reason to hide it with a diaper other than to try and build hype.

Wyn hinted at a South Korea race in 2026 in a recent WynTV and that it would be a great swan song to his career.

If destroying the environment wasn't bad enough, there are documented cases of chatbots causing psychosis and delusions of grandeur. I swear off it, the chat bots just give you wrong answers all the time. It's really good for shortening menial tasks that take a lot of man hours and reorganising thoughts, but it's a bad search engine and an even worse friend.

So do other hubs. That's why this one never caught on, especially with this proprietary disc. This answers no problem but creates one. I love this comment from the red site over D'Arcy O'Connor's Multi-Link Doc Tec Prototype : " C reeping featurism. Give engineers free rein and they’ll obsess about optimizing some parameter and make the product overly complex/expensive/etc even when nobody can tell the difference in said parameter because it’s being used by an actual human. "

Did a bit of Instagram investigation and it looks like Francesco Pardal is currently in South Korea, at Yongpyong Resort (or around that area) the same place that hosted the Winter Olympic Games. He’s there with a few other guys, and from the looks of it, they might be scouting for a new downhill trail. Could this be a new venue on the 2026 race calendar?
