Meh. Still not excited about the idea of electronics on my bike where a mechanical application is perfectly sufficient. IMO electronic shifting just adds a bunch of weight, price and complexity for no good, tangible reason what so ever.

Make tiers to how it functions. The NX Ochain has lead installed into it to make it a little heavier and 2° of disengagement. Then the GX is a smidge lighter but it contains more degrees of disengagement. The Eagle Pro Premium will give you 360° of disengagement as well a cool bird and the additional benefit of less mass moving on your body because you just emptied your wallet to buy it.

"help grow X beyond what he could" is the mantra that leads to enshittification and business death. I am quite happy that some great small business like Hadley never felt the need to "help grow beyond what they could".

Not that Canyon is going anywhere but interested in thoughts from Jeff and others on https://www.bicycleretailer.com/international/2025/05/29/canyon-sales-i… "GBL reduced the value of the Canyon shares it owns from 460 million euros at the end of 2023 to 261 million at the end of 2024."

I was an engineer on Felt's 6-bar link bikes and found it to be an immense PITA to work with. I don't feel it offers any advantages over other multilinks, different but not better. The extra parts inevitably weigh more, flex more, cost more, and present more opportunities for failure. Though it is possible to make good bikes with a 6-bar link, the experience motivated me to develop the most minimal multilink suspension I could devise.

From a buyers perspective, 20mm axle sucks, as DH bikes seem to be fading, and the popularity of DH hubs with it. I’m assuming it has some serious upsides for stiffness etc. But most will need a new hub, which is like $100-200 + spokes and labor. Worse if you have multiple bikes because they may no longer be swap able between bikes.

We talk about the tech and the rumors until there is new tech and rumors to talk about. I don’t understand what you haters are getting confused about. Thread derailleurs are part of the game, baby.

Do you wake up every day wondering "who can I be a d1ck to on the Vital Forums today"? Assuming good intent and extending a modicum of kindness takes almost no effort; give it a try!

It's blatantly obvious that Lewis just straight up copies prestigious products with the objective of selling them to people who love the looks/bling factor of the absolute high-end stuff but don't want to pay for it. The structural integrity of the design has nothing to do with it.

We really, really need to bring the hammer down on this IP theft. Not only are they stealing ideas and patents from people who have spent good r&d money on developing their ideas, they haven't done the r&d, so there's far less understanding of the decisions that led to the original design. It's wholly unsafe and not to be mistaken for simply reverse engineering existing components. I don't understand why they can't just make new stuff???
