Attention mountain bike industry! IGNORE THIS DRIVEL. This person does not speak for the rest of us;

It’s like there’s an echo in here…

This is the chat for new tech. If you want to debate the nuance of reach length, there's a place for that: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/How-Much-Reach-is-Too-Much-Re…

Not sure why anyone care, or tries to compare themselves to what pro riders use, or do, or eat, or ride, or…. We aren’t pro riders, most have 9-5 jobs, families, and mediocre skills at best, trying desperately to fit rides in between house chores and responsibilities. What “we” need doesn’t even resemble what pro riders use on a race course. I dont think there’s anything ironic about any of it, we’d all be well served to ride what we feel is comfortable, available and within budget. Does anyone yearn for an F1, or NASCAR to drive daily? Are we...

Because of so many people who believe every bike must be lower, longer, and slacker than anything else before it.. It is kinda ironic that people who who race at a level well above any of us average riders use much more conservative geometry than what the average rider thinks will allow themselves to ride at a pro level..

I have a bad habit of looking through the websites of bike and component manufactures when I should be doing work for college... oh well. Anyway, Looks like the new stuff from rockshox will have two "Debonair+" air cans, both with negative volume tuning Additionally, there is a "RC3 hydraulic bottom out control" damper option. So if id have to take a wild guess, the RC3 HBC will be the "Ultimate" level shock with the RC3 being the select plus.

Ebike customers are wierd man. That’s why trek has nine thousand flashing lights and completely unnecessary features for an experienced rider. (I know when I’ve burped air in my tires or my shock isn’t doing what it normally does.) It’s why unno just made the world’s visually longest seat tube. If you ever walked into an ebike specialty store the stuff is just way way more out there compared to the very homogeneous and subtle looks that dominate road and mtb cycling. I think it’s honestly cool that brands are putting some extra effort into distinguishing themselves in looks and...

Seems I need to do a cable routing shit post again? Ok, pardon the following.... The other day a headset routed gravel bike came out if the box with the caliper not pulled through enough and it took two people to get it to budge. And that was with adding some lubricant to the rubber grommets that the hose passed through. Bikes shouldn't be that difficult to service. I'm also imagining a basic headset service inusuay do when I'm servicing a form just being bullshit now. Most Enduro bikes I work on also end up with shit kicked bearings after...

To the adjustable dropouts and chainstay length on the outgoing Megatower, we salute you:

Holy seattube Batman

Unno's new e-bike BOÖS is out, 160/170mm 750wh battery

rsd posted a titanium version of their rs291 with the new lyrik

It's not surprising that the trolls who make stupid claims like Scott not having an R&D Department or Cascade Components not understanding kinematics NEVER reply when called on their bullshit.

I am not an engineer nor do I work in the bike industry. But I’d be annoyed enough to respond to a post if someone claimed my job didn’t exist.

Scott not designing its own bikes? That's crazy what I can read in the recent lines... The Spark looks like the Bold because it uses a similar layout. Period. The Ransom and Genius share a family look but every single part is different from each other, just look closer. Peace. Scott MTB Lead Designer

Sick Mick and Keegan on Yeti

Keegan won the DS at Sea Otter aboard a Yeti. Still no official team announcement.
