iceman2058 Added a reply to E-bike talk: not tech rumor derailment

Following the late 2024 recall related to potentially faulty battery housings, the Spectral:ON and Torque:ON are now back in Canyon's line-up, featuring all-new batteries that provide less juice (800 Wh compared to 900 Wh for the original batteries) but better energy efficiency and lower weight. The pricing is also very aggressive (no doubt it needs to be, given that these...
Yannis Pelé presents a powerful and sensitive new film, blending mountain biking — his sport, his passion — with a symbolic story about the loss and gradual return of color perception. Through strong visual storytelling, the film explores life’s challenges and conveys a universal message of hope and resilience. "If the colors have disappeared for you too, If your world has turned gray, Listen." At its core, the film tells the story of a child who suddenly loses the ability to perceive colors and gradually rediscovers them, notably through drawing. This positive, visual, and poetic narrative symbolizes the obstacles life...

iceman2058 Added a new video WE LIKE TO RIDE BIKES 01 – Monserat MTB

1/11/2026 3:59am
The days in winter are short, but not short enough to have a good time with a good crew on bikes. On day 1, after a few hours of work, we were rewarded with a super loamy line. A few small jumps, some turns, and good dirt are really all you need to have fun. The crew brought the vibes. On day 2, the jumps got a little bigger, and the soft enduro setup was swapped for a harder freeride setup. It took a few tries for everyone to feel comfortable on the jumps, but it made the session all...

iceman2058 Added a new Press Release Starling Updates the Beady Little Eye To V3

1/9/2026 3:39pm
The Beady Little Eye is the freakiest, fastest, weirdest beast in the Starling brood. A single gear, tiny travel, a skinny and steel frame, a shed load of lo-fi fun. And it’s now back in the Starling...
Yep, that's been my experience too, the Hope braided lines do nothing for lever feel, the external steel braiding is just there for additional protection. Additionally, installing them is a huge faff, the steel braiding splits open real easy and then getting it all into the olive is a royal pain. They are also thicker and thus may not play...

Nobble Liked a reply to forum topic Nerding out on Brakes shall we? Not another tech deraliment

I had T4V4’s on my Enduro with standard lines, my friend had T4V4 with braided on his Patrol. Same pads and rotors. They basically felt the same, the only real upside is durability. Hope even says the same thing themselves. The steel braid isn’t tensioned, it isn’t going to do anything significant to resist expansion.

Yeah, the press release Michelin sent out didn't contain any of that info, thanks for looking that up! The casing for the Wild Enduro seems to be dual 33 PTI plies, and they do indeed mention GumX for the center knobs and MagicX for the side knobs. They also feature bead-to-bead casing shields for puncture protection. The MS tires are...
