Maybe Mille is retiring so she can have a baby

9/28/2026 6:00pm At least it'll be back in 2032, give them time to fix the bottom of the track after crank worx

9/28/2026 11:02am Almost looks like it was put there because they couldn't move it further out due to the rock, but the course markings likely didn't change the whole weekend and everyone has to ride the same track. It's a fair rule even if it seems harsh.

9/28/2026 9:12am Sights staying HP, optic back to a low pivot, it would be sweet if they could shave a bit of weight off of both the optic and the sight.

9/28/2026 9:08am Not sure, they're supposed to have two MTBs in the works, but they might be spacing out the releases or reordering them since they just released an updated Melee

9/28/2026 7:27am Lazer helmets should be releasing an update Cage pretty soon. They're at the very least updating the pads in the helmet, but I haven't seen it in person yet

9/27/2026 5:15pm So if my math is right and the UCI does it right too, Asa is now leading the overall and it's going to be a very exciting weekend at lake placid.

9/25/2026 9:30am For real, it's expensive but how much r and d they did and the likely low volume of sales make the price make sense to me. The Torrent would also make a killer race bike for people on a tighter budget, but I think a lot of people have gotten lost in the Freeride marketing.

Pricing on that bike is pretty gnarly but I get it. People in the PB comments are big mad about it, but it will sell. They complained about demo prices and I saw dozens of them in Whistler when I went last month. Norco has been spending money on development and roster like it’s going out of fashion ever since they started with the new range. I’d be happy to pick up a torrent when they are available to support them. (Too slow to justify the team DH lol) Side note: Wasn’t norco one of the teams that announced they...

Linkglide is the only e-bike appropriate drivetrain at this time. Which is sort of amazing to think that SRAM currently has nothing to truly compete. Linkglide/ Di2 is also the only e-bike appropriate drivetrain that can be hardwired to an e-bike motor, the Bosch. Still, what exactly did you think would happen running a 2.7 hp motor, on pavement with such high traction, in top gear on a bicycle cassette, and probably at speeds well below 20 mph so likely at a low cadence? Shit's going to break!

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that cassette was loose

9/23/2026 10:47am Sounds like a manufacturing flaw in that cog, probably a small one that isn't super common.

After. It was one of the more comical experiences I’ve had with bike links. I don’t weigh a lot and I kept having to add more and more air to get sag (near max pressure and I’m only 150 lbs). So it was obvious something wasn’t right. Went to check the machining and the simulated machined part didn’t match the modeled part despite all the tool paths being up to date. Strangely the thing cleared full travel. Bounced on it a little for the fun of it… 170 mm of travel with a 45 mm shock stroke is probably one...

9/17/2026 11:37am Prize money as the main source of revenue has always seemed off to me, it's a nice bonus, but I do hope that the racers can earn enough from sponsors to keep doing it. Revenue sharing from ppv income seems like a great place to start, but with this it's still a prize money thing.

9/17/2026 9:40am They ai slopped a real brake that they basically had production ready. A reason why has yet to be found.

I installed hardwired Di2 on to my Bosch Wild with 11 speed Linkglide. I removed a SRAM 11 speed so the weight gain was significant which in my head bummed me out, although it's the exact same weight as GX T-Type. Imagine my surprise when not only was the gear spread much nicer, not only did I gain a lot of functionality, not only does the Linkglide shift positively and amazing (95% as smooth as T-type, but faster), not only did my running cost go way down and my relaibility went way up, but shockingly my rear suspension instantly got...
