1/29/2019 9:59am As an owner of the aluminum version, I say go test ride one before you make an assumption based on geo. That DB does look nice for the price but no single speed option so out for me.

11/14/2018 11:46am I´ve joined Bionicon Bikes in 2010 and was in charge of and executed all frame and suspension designs after 2012. Here are a few of the things, that we´ve designed in that period: https://www.bionicon.de/technik/ I´ve re-designed the existing Bionicon geometry-adjust system, introducing a double-positive and double negative air spring: https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/attachments/15-2x2-air-cartridge-jpg.3688… I graduated from university with the design of a bladder-based damping cartridge, which can be seen here at 3:15 (it´s in German though, sorry): https://videos.mtb-news.de/31011/eurobike_2013_bionicon A few years ago, I´ve designed an adjustable negative air can for X-Fusion Vector Air, because I believed this was a great shock with great...

11/14/2018 8:18am I think it is a bit much to be emailing a company and Vital complaining about a company rebranding a product like this. I am sure the manufacturer is aware TRW is putting their logo on this groupo. And Vital is just doing a press release that they might have been paid to release. Anyway, it is what it is - and as you say, this is an obvious rebranding.

11/13/2018 1:58pm I get the same urges and then I just go ride my bike and return with a big smile and forget about it. I don't have the bank account or desire to upgrade constantly. But, if you got the money, buy whatever you want, it's a free country. Riding bikes is about having fun, so if you are having fun...

11/13/2018 1:56pm I have at least one problem, and that is bikes. Yes, plural. I really love bikes. And I really love consuming everything there is to know about new bikes and new super bikes that I never will afford. It is somewhat a hobby, and something I like doing. But. It makes me less happy with the bike I got. I have a 2016 On-one Codeine 275 with some good parts, some old parts and some cheap. The best might be the suspension, a almost new Sr suntour Durolux 160mm. And a Cane creek DB inline. I love all the settings...

11/7/2018 9:08am Part of Gwin's move from Specialized was because he didn't like rivalry within the team ie. having a fast team mate (Brosnan). He wants the team to be focussed on him. It's not like Moir is a slouch. Looking at his form during 2017 he is capable of challenging Gwin for victories if he can stay injury free. If Moir is up to speed in 2019 it should make for a very interesting season :-) Edit - not sure why I've been downvoted. I didn't make this stuff up. I remember Gwin saying he would rather have a younger rider...

11/6/2018 10:58am I am running my Chameleon SS and having the same issue. Bolts keep coming loose after 2 rides, don't know why but put grease on the threads hoping that helps (blue Locktight is next). Also, if I don't set the tension screws (bolt thingys) all the way forward on the drive side after I tighten the bolts so the wheel...

11/6/2018 6:56am I don't see why you are getting downvoted. I really hope they do well. Always root for the little guy and their groupo is in my price range for an upgrade to my wifey's bike.

11/6/2018 6:55am Hi guys, Yes that video sucks! I never comment, but I was in Moab last week and ran into this guy on the trail. He is making frames, bars, stems, and wheels too. It all seems pretty legit and he is making improvements on it every product run. From what I can tell, The clutch is adjustable too. All of the weights are claimed to be similar to an Xo1 or close to XT. I'm pretty sure he isn't re branding it either. The dudes name is Taber West and his wheel company is Gravityworx. I wouldn't be surprised if...

11/5/2018 1:15pm Dude, i'm the most engineer of the engineers you can think of. Yet i can see that, for a lack of better term, this video is bad. I hate marketing, but i still kinda get how it works. A launch video should hype you up and show you some things. This sadly does neither. I hope their gear is better than the video (which is a completely un-engineer thing of me to say, since, to me, the only thing that SHOULD matter is the performance, not marketing).

11/5/2018 10:47am Hm... Does anybody else find it funny that the marketing video includes a guy riding uphill with elbow pads and no knee pads, no shifting and by the looks of it a chinese (sold as Ztto on Amazon) cassette? It might be the official cassette, but not judging by the press shots. I'm all for competition, but man, when you're going against Shimano and Sram, you better have your product polished to the moon and back!

11/5/2018 10:18am I noticed the same thing. Plus, music is a little much for slow uphill peddling. I would like to have seen some shifting and real descending with the chain flopping around a bit to show retention and keep my attention. I hope they are the engineers and doing something cool but it might just be a rebranding of existing products?

11/2/2018 9:56am When I read this comment, I was under the impression it is the same style - "Attaching the chainring was a familiar process because it shares the interface with SRAM cranks" I am not familiar with the SRAM interface so just curious.
