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.

no offense to those that frequented vitalbmx, but I favored bikeguide over it. Felt like the people were more knowledgeable. Still miss bikeguide and that’s a major reason that I’m here now, though I will admit that doesn’t quite scratch the same itch

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.

European retailer just leaked new Marin downcountry bike. Marin TAM XR - 2026 – Simple Bike Store Not the prettiest frame I've ever seen but with the rumored death of the Chisel I'd say there is space for an aluminum DC rig. 130mm front, 65 degree HTA. Release date looks like 4/17 according to the Marin website.
