8/14/2026 2:46am Medium-travel Yeti incoming. Release iminent. Long-chainstay fans rejoice: Size L has a 450mm rear center. Geometry is very middle-of-the-road otherwise, in a good way. Size L has 480mm reach. Stack could be a little taller, I guess (- 635mm for Size L).

I know Lapierre is still a desirable brand making quality bicycles (whether they exist in the middle of the barbell, not withstanding), but I looked up Raleigh's current product lineup on their website, and my how the mighty have fallen. It wasn't that long ago that everyone I knew had a Raleigh Furley for commuting or riding cyclocross, but now Raleigh is just generic mass-market Walmart bikes with the Raleigh label slapped on them. Ironically the Union Jack flag is still flying proudly all over the website, even though these bikes have as much to do with the UK as...

How did we ever have fun riding bikes as kids before batteries and motors? What a terrible childhood I must have had.

This is a lot of cool stuff packed into one aftermarket damper, and if it works as advertised that would be unreal for puzzlers and tweekers like me. I'm really curious to learn more about how the "tune adjuster" works, because I too don't understand what it means when they say the "t une Adjuster provides seven different base tunes." Obviously we're not changing shim stacks with the turn of a knob, so I'm curious what they mean when they're refering to a base tune vs. an adjustment.

Introducing the ZETA Damping Cartridge by SIMONS.LAB Externally adjustable compression and rebound tunes, Hydraulic Bottom-Out packaged in a drop-in cartridge design: ZETA is now available for FOX 38, RockShox ZEB and Intend upside-down suspension forks. Many riders know the situation: changes to the compression or rebound damping do not produce the desired effect on the trail, or an improvement in one area comes with noticeable compromises elsewhere. This is often caused by the predefined internal base tune found in conventional suspension forks. External adjusters can fine-tune this base tune, but they cannot fundamentally change it. If the tune does not...

My only take away from that site is that Thomus bikes must be unbearable to ride if a fake vibration damping sticker makes an improvement.

Wait a second, is that actually one of the extremely rare size S5 frames? I heard there was only ever a single production batch of about 30 frames. How did you manage to get one?

When I saw your post about Accell Group going into insolvency, I thought Diamondback would be one of the brands listed in the insolvency agreement alongside Raleigh. I remembered Accell owning Diamondback (another brand that we've observed to be struggling mightily in this thread), but I didn't see it on the list in the Reuters or BikeBiz.com articles about the recent insolvency agreement for Accell. Turns out Accell sold Diamondback and Redline (their US businesses) way back in 2019. Even if Accell still have a Diamondback landing page on their website: This is all a surprise to me. I either...

8/6/2026 7:06am So, the industry starts trying to sell us on 32" wheels (- which are effectively a whole new eco system of parts and standards, requiring a pretty steep buy-in) just as the mountainbike sector stops growing. Coincidence?

8/6/2026 7:00am Some employees of Intend BC have also been riding Intend forks fitted with modified Flight Attendant damper modules. It's probably not too difficult to make Flight Attendant work with non-Rockshox forks.

I've been shopping around for clip shoes and pedals per my recent thread, and actually surprised at how slim the pickings are at a lot of the major retailers. Most of the stuff is full MSRP, but limited selection. When I looked for Mallet DH or EN LS pedals, they were surprisingly hard to find, and I was shocked that they were $200 now (when I last dabbled in clips, I remember I got a set of Mallets EN LS for like $110) with few color options in stock. HT cleats were hard to find. Shimano GE shoes - similar...

I'm glad you mentioned that product! I've been moonlighting as a copywriter in my free time, and working on that stem project has been some of my proudest work so far: "Imagine starting your ride, rolling into the terrain on large 32″ wheels, and immediately feeling it: the handling is on point. Every steering input feels controlled, stable, and precise. That’s exactly why we developed this MTB stem specifically for bikes with 32″ wheels – tailored to the unique demands of a modern 32" setup." Just imagine it.
