Specialized Radials are here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/specialized-goes-radial-new…

Yes, this is the tire many are wanting/waiting for. Would be a good Mary replacement as well. But Mary has such a following, they won't replace it. So, at least bring this one out to the public!

This one?? I’m really hoping it’s sooner rather than later, seems like it could be a fantastic option as a front tire. @schwalbai, should I be patient???

Tbh I don’t get what the hang up is regarding dual crown comparability. I think that’s more of legal dept. jargon vs its actual capability. Toss a 40 on that hoss and don’t look back. If a frame can take a pro-level rider and a zeb, there’s zero reason it can’t take a dual crown.

Not at the headset cup I put an MRP extended crown race on a rigid fork for +10mm ATC and it works perfectly. Although this is a rigid bikepacking type setup on my hardtail. This is better than an extended headset cup for my particular use case since I can switch back and forth with a suspension fork where I don't want the increased height. link Pinner Machine Shop makes what you're looking for though: https://pinnermachineshop.com/en-us/products/hedraiser

I know it’s a bit short on travel and many consider it “down country”, but I am sure loving my new Epic Evo. It’s light and pretty damn capable on the trails I ride in Virginia.

I spent a good chunk of last night trying to evaluate DJI's move through the lens of business and corporate strategy. While it might sound far-fetched, I genuinely believe DJI could be making a move that fundamentally changes the landscape of the e-mtb industry. A few thoughts: Amflow: I have it on good authority that Fox's number one customer is Amflow. If true, that should signal to the industry that Amflow is not a demo product. It's a company going after the likes of Specialized, Trek, Giant and other major incumbents. To add, there is nothing holding them back from...

I just really hope they’re not sacrificing the whole industry for a few good quarters because that’s kinda what it feels like with them flirting with higher and higher power numbers.

Those were made basically because Richie Rude wanted them

How about a beefed-up Tioga Edge 22? 🤩

this count?

in scandal mag, jim bland, luca's mechanic, thinks 32" front wheels are coming (in what i would assume is DH since he's a DH mechanic). seems like it wouldn't be hard for any of the inverted brands to make a 32" fork for this upcoming season (assuming tires are available, which i bet they are). he also says cone valves in forks, so maybe some other hint development? #nonEbikeRumors

Ya know, I'm changing my tune about 32" wheels. I don't really have all that much interest in owning a 32" bike, and I fully expect most, if not all of the first 32" bikes to not be in my wheelhouse... But right now, I'd kill for anything that isn't related to an ebike to read about. Never before have I yearned to digest some bike stuff that just involved the measly 250w that I struggle to put out. So... bring on the 32" content please, I am primed and ready for it.

Can't wait to listen. Matt and Steve are always a great listen. Matt said his "race craft was REAL rusty," so I'm obviously excited to listen to and savor his suffering, mistakes, and foibles.

Posted up a podcast with Matt Thompson and Steve Wentz discussing Masters World Champs DH this year. Matt won his class and Wentz Top 10'd. Old people unite Check Matt's insta post here - https://www.instagram.com/p/DWhDvTVDv6U

A year ago, Avinox had struggled so hard to drum up real interest and commitment from bike brands that they essentially had to create their own platform to prove their product in real life. Fast-forward to today, bike brands couldn't care less if Amflow competes with them as long as they can get a slice of the hype pie. Seriously, there are going to be a LOT of purchasing decisions in today's e-MTB market that start with "Avinox, then let's see which flavor bike I want attached to the motor...".
