The electronic suspension/high pivot/stand up and pedal convo is the dumbest thing to happen to tech rumors in a long time. Banal, illogical, myopic.

I wonder if some of the big cycling brands "survive" by being bought by Chinese capital as a vehicle into the rest of the world/brand credibility. We've already seen this in a somewhat small scale in the automotive space (although not so much in the US Market compared to Europe, so you can simmer down Americans) and I can certainly imagine a world where this happens to something like Trek. Maybe Chinese brands will have no interest in doing so when they can undercut traditional brands by about half, for now, if they want. On the Cannondale note, maybe it's...

Thanks to this thread I have learned that torque wrenches don’t work anti-clockwise… but I was able to find a workaround when installing a new UDH this afternoon.

deadband is related to piston seal rollback. Any reduction in deadband due to thicker rotors will be temporary. It will return to normal as the pads wear, though the thicker rotors are likely to stay straight and the pads can be run closer to rotors for minimum deadband. Shimano has two bleed blocks for the new brakes, white one is for thicker rotors, old/yellow one is for 1.8 rotors.

As a person in the bike indusrty for 30+ years, Owned a bike store for 6 years, And has owned 5 Yeti's one of which is still my favorite bike my 2021 SB 160E still going strong. Today was eye opening! The MGU and CVT is real. DJI is not a copycat, And will eat the big 3 bikes brands lunch now. And the sixfinaty Yeti pedal bike is around the corner. Weird day..

While they're saying this is a test, they added the bolt holes for the idler on all production frames. I couldn't figure out what these were for, until today. Makes me think this "concept" is coming sooner than folks are letting on.

Gearboxes have always had drag issues. E-bikes have always had drivetrain issues This was inevitable and makes a ton of sense really … Ironically, the newest talaria’s espouse their bad ass gearbox’s too. Pegs or pedals? You choose.

RoJo1 Liked a forum topic Magic Mary Radial vs Assegai: 15 Timed Runs
6/24/2026 3:55am
I think this has made my front tyre choice for bike park season pretty easy. I finally tested the Magic Mary Radial Gravity Ultra Soft against the Assegai DoubleDown MaxxGrip. The Mary was much smoother in the rough, had huge braking confidence, and came out 2.86 seconds quicker in my 15-run comparison. What surprised me most is that I do not think it gives anything away in rolling speed either. It was already edging ahead on the smoother, flatter opening section before grip really became a factor. It is going straight onto my DH bike for the season. I just...

I’d argue we’re exiting “Chinese clone” territory and entering regular “Chinese product” territory. Mountain biking is growing rapidly over there, soon there will be high level Chinese racers working with Chinese suspension and Chinese frames that they test at Chinese bike parks. As with the Avinox motors we’re getting to a point where the Chinese won’t need to copy western products. The writing is on the wall with BYD imo.

I got my first ride on these today. I'll get more in the coming week I'm sure. I paired them with a grip change to Wolf Tooth's lockon grips. For a little background, I have pretty significant neuropathy problems in both of my arms due to long running Cubital Tunnel syndrome. I've had surgery but the pain still exists when I ride and sometimes it still lingers after. My problems are somewhat the opposite of Joe's, his seem to stem from being highly athletic and having forearm pump, mine stem from sitting behind a computer since I was 8 years...

Hey, let's stay on topic here. This is the UCI 32" rule debate thread. Seriously though, that aluminum hydroforming and construction work looks really clean. It's really hard to tell where the carbon models end and the aluminum ones begin in the website photos.

Going to add my opinion that protected riders was f'ing stupid. Ironically an elite bro-club of top teams working to prioritise TV time for their big-bucks athletes at the expense of newer riders and small teams and privateers is exactly what WB and Chris Ball frequently get accused of doing but the worst example was a hangover from the redbull era. Giving people a free ride through quali (and that one year, 2 separate rounds of quali) while others will have to pull the run of their lives just to make the cut, totally changes the dynamic for the haves...

6/14/2026 2:53pm I haven't heard the interview, but maybe he said both as it was post race and only himself and Benoit had made the race ? Scott have been patient with Benoit and Ethan so I would hope its the same for Dak, but yeah a podium would certainly help smooth over any potential upsets !
