Who makes a tapered steerer compatible reach adjust ZS56/56? Work components only offers a ZS56 top, EC56 bottom for 1.125x1.5 tapered. They have reach adjusts for ZS56/66 and a ZS56/56 for 1.125 steerers.

Just going to leave this here...Rocky Mountain Bicycles is using the FSA system on the carbon Altitude and Instincts, and our own designed (FSA made) ZS56|66 round headsets for the alloy models. 10mm of reach adjust possible. The headset guts are just standard components: bearings, races, top caps, etc.

A standardized (blasphemy!) oval'ish headset standard would be awesome that give +-10mm reach/lots of angle adjust

I really dislike that 95% of size L's have a 475mm Reach and XLs have a 500m reach. The bikes need to offer 10mm of reach adjust for those of us in between. That said, the new Sentinel looks like an ideal AM rig to my eyes.

Everyone designing bikes can rest easy knowing AI hasn’t caught on yet. The closer you look the more your head hurts.

Probably the venues. As we're seeing, climate change is affecting snow seasons in European ski resorts, so they'll be allocating more tourism marketing dollars to MTB. They have the need, the infrastructure and the budget to bid. The bigger question IMO is why aren't more locations round the world bidding to host world cups?

What I find confusing about the new Stumpjumpers is they offer it in a coil version with a 27.5 wheel and they've corrected geo for the smaller wheel using the upper link just like with the previous Stumpjumper, which significantly reduces progression. So the most linear bike in the entire lineup comes with a coil.

Transmission, it's weaknesses, and "solutions" for those weaknesses all seem kind of insane to me. Hey we have this little uvula looking thing on the back of frames which the derailleur attaches to. Usually, derailleurs aren't that expensive these days but just in case, it's meant to bend instead of allowing the derailleur to break. Because our frame is made of steel, we can usually just bend it back for free! How nice! Since we moved on to alloy/carbon, we had to make the hanger its own item. We went with aluminum alloy so it's stiff and light, but if...

And you thought they had one before? Come on, no one is buying this thing outside of OEM unless completely out of mind.

I think it looks awful and definitely going backwards. I don't like anything Scott is doing, but the current Gambler is one of the best looking dh bikes out there right now.

If the response on the other site from Propain is any indication that some companies do read these forums, I see no reason to hold back on things we feel strongly about. Seems to have worked in getting Propain to ditch cable tourism. Maybe there's still time for SC to re-tool their moulds and ditch cable suicide.

A deep dive on the other site had me find this unreleased article. Can't click on it but surely it can't be far away I'm unable to tell whether it's mechanical or wireless, apologies for the poor quality screenshot.

Theres zero need for a 6 pot brake. I'd wager Shimano won't make one. There 4 pot is plenty powerful just needs refinements like pad contact and no wandering bite point of doom. A thicker rotor would be good from them though.
