You should also call out Canfield while you are at it. Patenting three holes in a frame or a variant of the Horst Link is as bogus as Tony Ellsworth's claims.

Nah, I hope someone resurrects 26" wheels instead.

No I can't handle all this Avinox garbage and a mainstream bike going to 32" in such close succession. Make it stop.

Personally I don’t think it’s cool when brands post their own stuff here if it’s not being discussed directly. The Cascade guy is great because he weighs in on the conversation but just dropping your stuff here when nobody is talking about it comes across as a bit of a lazy marketing strategy. Post it on instagram and if people think it’s interesting it’ll get picked up. That being said it’s an awesome looking prototype!

Say the forks are dry, still showcases just how smooth the Lefty is. Add oil, still smoother. Unless Im missing something, compared to the other offerings of modern USD forks, an old SuperMaxx Lefty still seems like a more logical option. Especially if it had a modernized damper. If we are strictly talking about stiffness, smoothness, and weight. I feel if Cannondale did come out with a modern Lefty they would not have such a negative reaction of "looks weird" like they did in the past. I mean we went through the era of pregnant Ebikes. Now the weirdest thing...

I can confirm that Specialized will reveal a new generation of the Specialized Epic this month. I can also confirm that the new model definitively rolls on 29" wheels. From what I'm hearing, the folks at Specialized who executively get to make the decision on these kinds of things are not convinced that 32" wheels are universally beneficial for all XC racers and see them as more of a niche solution for very specific scenarios.

Honestly, thank god... I couldn't care less about 32" wheels. Im closer to buying a 27.5" bike 32" one.

Not sure what the patent situation is like with Cannondale's lefty forks, but they use needle bearings because they need them. Leftys only have one stanchion and they need something to prevent rotation, thus the needle bearings. As for why not use it on conventional forks, it incredibly expensive compared to classic forks. While precisely grinding the insides and outsides of an aluminium tube is anything but easy I'd imagine, additionally grinding three (Ocho, previous Cannondale forks had four) flat surfaces that have to be smooth for the needle bearings and have a tight angular tolerance (as close to 120°...

Let's just bring back the lefty

I'm thinking it'll be more like this:

Lets do vitalmotobunka.com then, pretty please It was fucking tragic to see that one go, it was loaded with info and resurces, and the vibe was helluva good most of the time. i cannot even realize how fuckin sad should asking gemini what offset forks to get feel... ...just to get and answer like "naaaa man, they are just fucking forks, get whatever, you'll get used to them"

most german brands are build like that haribo hans riegel bonn

It's a portmanteau of the brand founder's abbreviated name: Adolf Dassler #ackshully #funsponge #kornaresomid

No. Vans is owned by VF Corporation whose portfolio also includes The North Face and Timberland.

Norco team for track walk this year

I really hope adidas leans into stylish bike wear, not just another round of standard tech gear. Combining performance with real style would actually move things forward. Still don’t get why there hasn’t been a collab with Vero Sandler. She represents exactly that mix of riding and style.
