Shocking that young people are consuming less and that microbreweries and dispensaries are closing /s If you aren’t catering to the rich, your business that’s based on the quantity of people’s expendable income is going to be having a tough time for a while.

I think they saw that you were leaving this thread and knew there was only one thing in the world that would get you back. 😁 Eagerly awaiting the next Substack piece on Fox Fiasco

enigmas Started a new thread Bar Roll's Impact on Handling
10/17/2026 9:50am I've been trying different bar roll setups recently. I've settled on a couple of positions, only a notch away from each other (oneup alloy bars), but they impact handling to a surprising degree. I prefer the more rolled back position, making the bike feeling more stable and steering a bit more natural, except maybe tight flat turns. However, in this...

10/13/2026 11:10am Here in the UK most Avinox bikes are getting pre-ordered, with very little making their way to shop floors. Certainly seems like a supply crunch. Amflow themselves seem the exception, with some large drops recently at my local shops. I'm increasingly seeing Bosch and Spesh ebikes sitting on the shop floor or being discounted. On the pedal bike side, there's...

I think the "e-mtb tuned" Fox forks are garbage. See below for way too many details model deets. But still...The damper rebound for me was way too fast/light even fully closed. The bros put in a different shim and now it is like a "real" fork. The chassis? That's solid. 54lb bike and I'm okay with what flex I get. Don't really need to feel the need for a dual crown.

9/28/2026 11:13am I've always loved the look of evil bikes but at 6ft2 I'm firmly in the long chainstay gang. I get there's more manufacturing costs involved but 450-460mm stays are so much better when paired with a 500mm reach.

9/27/2026 4:24am A few bits I've heard from my LBS, and dealer reps at a recent demo event: New transition lineup coming next year. Will involve flip chips for wheelsize to consolidate frame SKUs. Smuggler going. Patrol/spire replacement coming first. Ibis IB7 next year, along with an avinox ebike. Specialized enduro replacement finally happening before bike park season next year, alongside a...

8/1/2026 3:00pm Long time reader, first time poster. I've heard rumours of an an Ibis HD7 this year from my LBS, and just noticed that the Ibis Ripmo & Ripley have had their build specs updated with the new deore groupset yet the HD6 hasn't..
