All those parts are the same as FW runs. Only guess would be Goodman.

I feel like everyone who's gotten on cube the last few years seems to have suffered performance wise. Sure Danny might have just been at that point in life as he'd been on it for 10 years at that point.and become a dad, but it seems every time someone coming off a hot one that signs for cube falls off a bit. Jess was the up and comer the year before she signed for cube, and sure she had a few injuries, but she seemed to struggle on the team a bit. Hoping she smashes it wherever she lands.

Biking will be a lot of fun in 2026. Side knobs will be scrubbed while riding Enduro because the spirit of Enduro will never die, like ACDC says, NEVER GONNA DIE!!! TV Enduro may fade away, but that won't stop us from riding up to ride down fast and hard on our backyard tracks, all of us, every single Vital mtb junkie. Long travel trail bikes will suddenly become cooler than ever because they are being discontinued and we all knew they were cool but we already have one and don't need another one just yet. Who cares about climbing...

I support cheese

120-130mm bikes become even more popular Cheese becomes even more loved, even by people who are lactose intolerant E-bikes become loved by everyone.

FWIW, my Modus operandi is to point the seat towards the bars. Then it's just a question of the relative height of one vs. the other.

Ryan Griffiths is also very tall….

I had a good day out on the XT/Maven's with redline likewater. No issues. No wandering bite. Just light level pull and absurdly strong brakes. I'll be sticking with this setup for the foreseeable future. Will be interesting to see how the long term reliability is, and how the bleed holds up.

Not sure if this should go here or in Team Rumors, but it's a good interview with Vali on the 2025 season.. https://open.spotify.com/episode/34C9LvidEQ6Ysw0kXNAnEH?si=s_We83RLTBKJ…

1) my Turner Nitrous. First HT since the early aughts and hoo boy has that changed! I moved to Missoula from ABQ last year and having a XC/trail hardtail has made the riding tons more fun and efficient. Have been getting more on: 2) longer rides. Nice to be feeling more in shape. 3) custom tune on my Fox 36. Much more supple. I don’t smash like I used to, and a lighter tune has made the riding tons more comfortable 4) Sedona. First trip there since the mid-aughts and hoo boy that has changed! So fun, and just enough...

I hope she keeps up the You Tube channel. Good stuff!

Not one bike to do it all but one bike to do all that I wanna do. Forbidden Druid v1(steel front triangle of course)

1) New Bike Day! These are awesome any year, but I don't buy bikes that often. (Last one was 2017.) I got a Commencal Meta V5 with Ohlins, TRP, Industry9 and Burgtec parts all over it, and it's been making me ride a lot! 2) Sedona in November. 3) New trails at Greer Ranch, near where I live. The trail angels have been active! Also, the much feared and ballyhooed homebuilder construction that was supposed to destroy most of the trails still hasn't come to pass. 4) Positive Mental Attitude. I regained some PMA last year and carried it through...
