All

just announced that Rob and Eliot are going to be announcing all the Crankworx dh races.

Chris Ball is such a shill. Fits in very well with the UCI and WB/Discovery.

Congrats on this being the 10,000th post on this thread! 10,000 posts in and we've successfully turned the conversation to apps instead of bikes. Dammit!

Maybe it's the MicrosoftPaint-esque superimposed scribbles, maybe it's the wild writing and conjecture: this reminds me of LitterMag, and I'm all nostalgic for it. #givemebackmyslideshows

Blink twice if you are in trouble Robot!

Listened to a bit of the Ride Along podcast and realized Team Robot was clearly trying to send us a hidden message in the photo!!! The hands are a dead give away! One is clearly the NC State wolfpack gesture which is a similar species to a fox (aka Fox Factory). The other hand is in a rock-on gesture, so obviously Rockshox. Only “V” on his shirt is visible, which doesn’t mean anything, but when you combine it with the “DC” it forms “VDC” the abbreviation for voltage direct current which is the basis for any battery powered device, including...

The whole album is ready to go on the other site.

there's 32 hole 30|HD AL option too (on that homepage). for some reason we have to wait until embargo lift (and our review) in an hour.

Looks like Reserve released their AL rims/wheels. https://reservewheels.com

Can we get back to rumors and spy shots please?

"The patent gives us some insight into how Fox’s long-travel mountain bike forks such as the 36, 38, and 40 may evolve in the future, with the inventions described working to reduce binding at ever-slacker head angles, while also continuously lubricating the wiper seals during use." Might aswell make a upside down fork at that point?

Gary does what Gary wants.

it's rumored to last 4 weeks vs. the usual 2.

Hope it's aluminum

We the people would love a regular TEAM ROBOT podcast. Rambling at its finest

If we consider that Ti frame are roughly 40% lighter than Crmo frames, then a "modern" Crmo crank could be 40% heavier than the eewing, which means below 600gr, which if I believe the interballs is below the weight of an XT crank which is announced on Alltricks at 620gr. Even if you consider a 50% penalty from Ti to Crmo you'd be lighter thana Deore crank, not that bad really.

More ground clearance? Sounds like a perfect job for IMBA, not bike engineers.

Cannondale had the non-high pivot version back in 1998. Supposedly the main advantages and design goals for the new DW patent is for the dreaded e-bike. Seeing how Pivot has a huge boner for e-bikes these days, this is likely just testing the concept and it will be plugged into a bike with a motor, not a DH bike....

Judging by the number of times he says “price point” in that latest yt video I’d guess this isn’t the case.

Or maybe OF paid him enough to make him not care about losing frame sponsorship. Sounds like it if he can go ahead and buy multiple frames and do what he wants.
