All

Especially with it down to two guys, there just seems to be less if that magic out of the Syndicate pits lately. It definitely needs to be three or more riders.

Nah, just slow.

You can destroy anything if you want to

My guess would be is it isn’t going to be available till fall anyways. If you are looking for a new firebird you know it’s coming and might not buy something else. Is there really much to need to know. It’s pivot’s long travel 29er, it’s gonna be a pivot with big wheels and a lot of travel. It’s gonna be an ideal bike for me on paper but it will be a solid 2 grand above my budget.

Can't believe it's into the 3rd EWS round and no one has taken a spy shot of the We Are One bike etc. I know they have asked media to respectfully hold off (and that's cool with me) but no fans? Also agree WTF is Pivot doing waiting so long on the new Firebird? Why not just launch with first EWS when everyone sees it, it's carbon so that has to be final frame (unless they are playing with linkages still) or it's logistical challenges putting together specs for full bikes.

Could be a fun test. Get a new Scott/Bold and another bike with a comparable suspension design and identical shock. Slap some of those temp-sensitive stickers on each air can and do some laps on descents of varying lengths. Then post it and wait for everyone on the internet to tell you how you did science wrong.

has there ever been discussion about shock heating up (or not being able to cool off) inside the "bold" style frames? might not be a huge deal on an XC bike, but if they're going longer travel, would that be an issue?

I’ll save everyone the time since it was a waste of mine. Pivots ice cream countdown was for a short video that now leads another 12 day countdown. Don’t really understand it

Yes sir

...yeah yeah yeah. But there seems to be more strength to it at the moment. Apparently there's some pressure from manufacturers because they don't like using dot fluid on the bike assembly lines

I keep hearing the rumour that Sram will be switching to mineral oil in their brakes next year...

Found on German mtb-news.de in a gallery from the Les Gets WC. Apparently Charger 3 it is.

There is a word removed here: Probably says charger 3 or something like that…

Manitou is actually re-releasing the Travis with the new STY damper design. This time they're taking it all the way with the Travis-STY.......
