Eae903 Added a reply to 2026 South Korea world cup
5/1/2026 6:10am Hardtail bro is in the PB comments saying it wasn't him, but another rider. He also explained he had two crashes in his qualifying run and was aware of Asa so he pulled off the line to make sure he wasn't in the way.

4/29/2026 2:49pm Are you able to share your reasons why or your opinions on abs? I'm sure we all would love to know.

Downhill rider entry list for South Korea (different than actual qualifying start list that should show up in a day or so). Once quali list is in, Vital Fantasy will kick off! You can join the global league now to be ready for prizes. https://www.vitalmtb.com/fantasy/leagues https://www.vitalmtb.com/fantasy/how-to-play

Any thoughts on creating a new thread with to sole focus being DJI/Avinox/Amflow + Future (which can be technology and business)? I know a number of you subscribe to this looking for a broader range of things to be talked about. I'm happy to start one if you guys want.

4/27/2026 12:50pm There are already those issues with the wired in version of AXS and Di2 derailleurs on ebikes, it's actually obnoxious to work on them because of it. An interesting rhetorical question about CVTs and MGUs coming into this space is when do these "bicycles" stop being "bicycles"? Automatic shifting and the removal of manual control seem to me like the...

2x4s are all 2” by 4” off of the rough saw. They become 1.5” x 3.5” after finish milling.

4/24/2026 7:17pm And 43 watts is basically the power you put out by just letting the weight of your leg push the pedal. Almost no effort at all.

4/24/2026 2:48pm I'm hearing similar talk about 30.5 (or 750d) from a small wheel manufacturer. 750d is out there already in gravel, but it might make the jump to MTB sooner rather than later. I've also heard about some brands size specific wheelsizes getting even more complicated, ie 27.5 on xs and s, 29 on medium, 32 on large and up, but...

Most of you probably won't like hearing this. I certainly didn't. Earlier this week I had a chat with a guy who works in a product management role for Ralf Bohle GmbH, which is the owner of the Schwalbe tire brand. Mainly I asked a bunch of XC racing related questions, about compounds, casings, radial ply, rolling resistance testing, wheter we'll ever see the speediest XC casing with a black sidewall and why they felt they needed to change their naming scheme for casings and compounds. The gist of it is that they are hard at work behind the scenes...

4/24/2026 1:02pm The only thing I meant to say is that there's no reason to rush out an update for the rear triangle when there is only a single drivetrain on the market that makes use of it, and one that would make the adjustments the current bike has more complicated to impliment. The next V10 should have it, because you're right...

4/24/2026 11:38am The derailleur cost doesn't bother me, it's the 500 usd 7 speed cassette that does. They could go with bolt on drive side drop out and keep the adjustment, leave the non drive side alone. But yeah, changing the rear triangle design to accommodate a single derailleur is short sighted, maybe when mechanical DH transmission or a lower price point...

4/21/2026 4:24pm I still ride around with my number plate from a halloween graveyard crit on my road bike. It's at night, in the cemetery, in the dark, and you've got to put a beer down every lap and it's rad as hell.

4/21/2026 6:24am It's likely for more consistent kinematics, namely antisquat. Someone mentioned it in the sea otter thread. By using this set up, you can change the effective gear ratio by modifying the size of the internal cogs, without changing the chains path and therefore anti squat of the bike.
