As if bikes aren't expensive enough already, with those pesky round interference holes in place. Sounds like a good idea but I suppose it would be very dificult to implement, because of distortion/alignement issues. We can't afford the quality needed for that, with bikes costing 10k already, as shitly made as most of them are.

You cannot adjust the lower bearing position fore-aft in a tapered 1.5, ZS56 cup. There is 0 room for that. You can adjust the reach by a total of 10mm in a ZS66 cup.

Unless you’re running a straight steerer fork, even if you’ve got a 56/56 head tube, I think you’d need to run an external lower cup for a reach adj headset? I think that eliminates a lot of the benefits.

TFR?

"Firstly for teams, the 2026 registration for World Series team status will move from the end of January to November 15 the previous year. Instead of taking the ranking points of riders at the start of the race season, for 2026, the UCI will decide the eligible team for World Series status using the rankings of riders on the last Tuesday of October (in 2025)." It's coming.

Because unlike road cycling, historical there's no rider movement in MTB during the "transfer window". New teams are not finalised until January 15th each year. Therefore most riders contracts (along with marketing commitments) run until Dec 31st or even first week of Jan. So there's your answer

Where the hell were you when this exact issue with this exact company came up like 7 or 8 years ago? Oh right, I remember, at the local o-ring store.

Brendog needs to come back to race and pick 76😂

That would be the 2025 Instinct SL according to another forum, is someone able to confirm if that's really the case ? Looks like it's just a smaller battery & retuned motor in the existing full power Instinct frame, nothing too exciting.

I prefer the Crab Link. It’s the future obviously. DW spins up designs all the time, and to me they all come across as a good marketing campaign to sell more design. Everything DW is always “better”, and DW is dogmatic that every new product is better than the Crab Link (Horst). Yawn. I like to believe that we’ve finally hit an era in biking where a good design isn’t limited to the patent you hold or the design you licensed. Lots of smart people out there.

looks like a bear

Think of a former gun manufacturer close to Portugal.

Basically whats old is new again, RS used to have goldish stanchions anyways, then in 2001 they came out with a Ti Nitride as you mentioned but it was rubbish and flaked off, they also have gold legs on a Psylo this was 23 years ago before Fox even had a fork im pretty sure. They do say that plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.

Any one know why it looked like Womens overall podium was top 5 and Men’s was top 3

HAHA I was actively scrolling through stories hoping to get some videos from the madness. Did Nina keep all her joints together this time? Does Greg remember retiring? No luck. Jacksons DJ set sounded good though. Aso, what happened to Jess Blewitt? I saw her story that she was in the hospital.

New Hei Hei looks like a Faux-Crab design…

Funny Santa Cruz is like "VPP is holding us back on longer travel e-bikes, we have to move on" and Crestline's like "here's our 182mm VPP ebike!" Curious if Cascade is willing to comment on the Cruz' take or if they're a little too close to home to do so.

More likely to have Myles Rockwell come back and win a DH World Cup than see Tahnee on an Atherton bike.

Not sure rider list but on the US Open prerace pod they said these teams were joining. Santa Cruz Yeti Atherton FMD pivot factory Union Frameworks YT Giant intense Norco Canyon collective Gwin/crestline Forbidden Mondraker Could we see the first Asa battle against the elites?

Sounds like the majority of Enduro teams will be folding. Lots of high profile riders will be on their own "provateer" setups
