Oli was riding in Thredbo last week with Frotha. Broke a finger apparently. I did see his girlfriend wheeling away an Orbea ebike....

This is exactly the type of stuff I come here for; excellent rumor. It would be great to see Oli Zwar continue with proper support, he’s a talent and personality worth supporting. Bonus points for spotting and including The Froth in your post.

I actually download the enduro mag app to read about it. Looks like a sweet bike. I dont get why manufacture's aren't producing DH ebikes. This makes so much more sense then a 130 ebike. I want to ride my shuttle trails on these and not shuttle. Maybe that would be to much like a moto 😱 with a dual crown and coil shock + a full face.

Until the front fell off.

I've been away for a while, so not checking regularly for a couple weeks, so I spent a couple hours trying to catch up, prolly 12 or so pages the content and tone of comments has changed drastically in the last year. I can only assume with increased users and engagement, which has brought along with it, a much more negative and judgy tone. I was drawn to this comment section for the rumours and innovation (and spy shots, and great info from the likes or TEAMROBOT, Cascade, Dave, and many others) but I find myself turned off by the...

Regarding the Scott hidden shock designs, my concern would be over-cooking the thing on long descents or other heat-related impacts on reliability. It's basically stuffed inside a big thermos with none of that sweet, sweet airflow working its cooling magic.

also the cable ports look more like the ones pivot uses than the yeti ones, and the whole rear triangle kind of has the lines and shape of the current pivot ones

Ah. Semi recently I was looking at scientific papers about damping and almost all of them said dampening. More recently I somewhere saw that what the US English says is damping is actually dampening in UK English... https://www.google.com/search?q=define+dampening+&oe=utf-8 So you can wet the soil and prevent unwanted oscilations of the tyre at the same time!

yep agreed, long CS allows higher stack too. One of the great feelings of these modern geo bikes is feeling "in" the bike rather than "on" it. It's hard to explain, but when you have sufficient wheelbase, stack and low enough BB the feeling of confidence and control is fantastic. This may not be for everyone, and that's OK. The older I get the more I realize people like different things, it's not that one is right or wrong, people just prefer apples to oranges so to speak.

I know i finally got some Dominions and daaaaaaayummmm, that control but also they grab like crazy. And my hands aren't tired even on long steeps. This is coming from XT's.

Try Rev grips if you’re having arm pump/ hand fatigue problems. Makes a noticeable difference

It’s a perfectly cromulent word.

While I want taller/longer headtubes its been the opposite of many brands, they are going smaller because it allows Riders to upsize but then lower the bars. They will also argue its cheaper(smaller) and stiffer but I disagree about stiffer as On a 105 headtube bike I can feel the extra flex verse a 125 headtube because you have to run the steerer tube much longer where its not supported by the headset/frame

My money is on a new Manitou shock
