Man, Santa Cruz has the nicest paint in the business, but chooses the ugliest damn colors on everything.

Very funky looking dhx2

The new X2 air can looks very similar to the SJ15 Genie. Wonder if there’s anything similar going on inside or just new similar architecture.

how did everyone miss the most important release of the year!? https://www.giant-bicycles.com/global/pre-rcarbon

Oh man I wonder what The Loam Wolf is going to think about that one 🙄

None of dt's alloy rims are offset or have angular holes drilled. So they're at least trying something different. Why knock a small company having a crack?

I believe there's a new enduro coming with ubb suspension and a new Santa Cruz bullet Bosch.

redacted you say? Interesting. sounds crab-like.

I've had a few new fox products, including the one released today, in my hands over the last few weeks and while I'm not a fox fan boy, the feel and look of the new 34SL, - Redacted- and - Redacted- are certainly a bump up from the previous gen. It'll be interesting to see how they review. The 34SL is stupid light in your hand.

Now thats a weird business move. Sell brand new bike, then 1 month later offer upgrade kits.... how does that math? Must be something pretty shiny

Word from a lot of media is that the next 30~ days are going to be busy on this thread. Happy spring/sea otter season to all those who celebrate the relentless innovation we all don't really need!

I WORK for DT Swiss so this is a shameless plug. No astroturfing here... We launched new dirt jump wheels today. First time we have used brass nipples in a system wheel. We are also offering the hubs separately. D 1900 CLASSIC - Dirt Jump wheels | DT Swiss

The primary source of friction in chain drives (cross chaining aside) is the links rotating as they enter each chain ring. The larger the degree that the rotate, the more friction there is. Larger chain rings equate to less friction because the chain links don't have to rotate as much. The amount of chain actually in contact with the chain ring does not matter because it's static relative to the chain ring. For example, on a 36T chain ring each link has to rotate 10 degrees relative to the adjacent link as it enters the chain ring. Meanwhile, on a...
