iceman2058 Added a reply to 2026 MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation - Longer and Slacker
4/13/2026 2:30am It's probably less about the extra forces a dual-crown puts on the frame these days, I think you're right about that. The one important issue to keep in mind though is that the stanchions will bump against the head tube junction area, and if the frame is not built to take the resulting direct force in that particular area you...

4/13/2026 12:02am Just confirmed with Propain that this is just a standard phrase that is used with all promotions...just refers to stock levels of certain components, which will dictate how long the discount runs for. Not a new bike coming.

4/11/2026 4:53am Well, a 130mm bike with fairly long chainstays, a relaxed headangle and pretty hefty wheelbase as a result isn't necessarily going to be the most eager to lift its front wheel up at a whim, that much is definitely true. I did add 10mm of "extra" spacers to lift the handlebars a bit, which gave me the relaxed position I'm...

4/10/2026 1:10pm I have, yes. A different animal. The Hugene is a trail bike through and through, not a mini-enduro in disguise. It’s just quite relaxed in the geo which makes it ask you to push it on a bit. Good fun. I don’t know anything about a potential new model. Might just be new colors, since it was introduced recently.

I’ll still pump just as much, this will just mean I’ll get to fill a lot more tires

4/10/2026 9:18am We'll be looking out for this new pump from Feedback next week at Sea Otter. Imagine what 1500W will do to that tubeless tire you've been trying to seat?

4/10/2026 8:32am I now have some time on my latest trail bike build (I got it after you started this thread), and I'd have to throw the new Propain Hugene into your mix here. 130 rear, 140 fork (I run mine with the Öhlins RXF36 m.3), it's a super fun bike that is a bit more relaxed and eager to take on...

Big fan of the deity supacush, hard to go back to anything else. I won a set of ODI normal grips and took them off after a week.

Currently running Peatys Monarch on both of my mtb, one knurl and one mushroom, I quite like them. Maybe not the most comfy soft grips I've ever had (I'd say my ODI Rogues were better at that), but I really like the grip and shape

4/10/2026 3:59am Deity Supracush FTW. I consistently come back to them on all my bikes, I just really like the compound and the thickness is spot on for me. They tend to wear out semi-quickly (and they don't love wet conditions once they do), but I'll take that to get the awesome comfort and grip while they last. If you need a...

4/10/2026 3:56am Peaty's did a GREAT job with this one. The key to a good pattern is not making it too deep or making the ribs too soft, nothing worse than a grip with ribs that fold over each other and make the connection feel super vague. Peaty's nailed it IMO.

4/10/2026 3:54am Big fan of this grip, I wish they made it in a 34mm variant as well, but I still got along great with it.

I picked up a pair of ODI Vanquish D30s on a trip in a pinch (replaced Disisdaboss), pretty thick (32.75 diameter) and gotta say the vibration damping is not all snake oil
