Engineer: "How many points of articulation should the rear suspension have?" Max Commencal: "Yes."

Quick scroll though and I didn’t see this yet. Bottom of semis right now and noticed yet another new addition to Myriam’s commencal. Edit: Amaury on it too.

Any second tier or lower team, there is a reason a lot of guys have jobs in the off season

All I’m doing is read the criteria. This forum needs the ban broom brought out to sweep your rudeness away.

Yeah right! That said Hope actually did this. They calculated an amortized cost for the carbon bike including development time etc but then after a while they realized they had learnt so much from the project that could be applied to other carbon products and help to spread the sunk costs. So they dropped the price by £1000 (iirc) and gave a rebate to all the original customers! This is very Hope-like. In the Uk there was/is a salary sacrifice scheme you can use for buying a bike and save 25-30%. Hope signed up but it was a lot of...

high efficiency ambient light photovoltaics are being developed with some level of reasonable promise. I suspect SRAM is jumping on the patent train nice and early on this one so once the solar tech is public they'll be set.

I don’t know much about solar. But pretty sure it needs a lot of surface area and a lot of sunlight.

Look in the pitbits articles.

maes is on the un-motored ebike (below). bike above looks different.

Been waiting a long Time for these …

As a Milwaukeean I can tell you Mequon isn't as rural as you think. Hayes was maybe a 20+min drive from downtown Milwaukee. From what I've heard, a bulk of the cuts were made on the power side of the business. That said, I do wonder about their future. Brakes have been doing well-ish, but Reynolds/Sun/and Manitou goods have been on sale for a long, long time on their site and none of those wares really show up as OE spec aside from the Junit line. Aftermarket has better margins, but OE spec is what really keeps the lights on.

In theory the tyres bounce at their own natural frequency so on small, fast chattery bumps they can start to hop and lose traction. These inputs are usually too short for the suspension to respond in time so a mass damper could cancel out the vibration which keeps a more consistent force on the tyre.

Or if it's Putoline HPX R. 😄

Traveling is one of the biggest perks for me. I personally love being in Taiwan and it’s a good jumping off point for exploring more of that side of the world. The actual flying part sucks but being there is awesome.

Erice would have qualied 1st in womans. Holy shit. Finn was the first generation to grow up with bikeparks. 7 years later we have several jr's every race that could land in a top ten in elite. Now think about about how good kids bikes are today. Hell my 5 year old has had front and rear disc brakes on his last two bikes. The future is bright!

lol @ the issues with Taiwanese rider name The guy is pretty high up there in the ranks - rooting for him!

No concrete information but I spoke with a person who works at specialized and his comments aligned with the same rumors some folks have echoed already. Enduro will get updated with UDH next year and nothing else.

I think mechanical t-type is inevitable. There is a schematic for frames on the UDH website that includes a cable stop. Posted a pic of it months ago. I can try to find it again when I get back to my computer.
