6/20/2026 4:50am I have always liked POC Coron Air b/c its using EPP for that reason. Small crashes, I don't have to worry if the shell is still in good shape.

6/20/2026 4:50am That's not a Shimano mount, it's the Stiffshifter from Eightpins. They're only available via pre-order. Mine arrived after 4.5 weeks.

6/16/2026 12:07am Aventon is cool in my book. Sponsoring Tippie and Angel and making a quality, reasonably priced ebike. Sounds better than one more super posh boutique brand making a product that costs five figures.

6/15/2026 6:16pm First, when you install make sure they're properly secure and can take a lot of force w/out coming out- one of two didn't tighten until I bashed out all of the plastic end of my old ODIs. I'd try out both and see what works for you depending on the issues you have. I do a bit of both but was more actively pressing against them when fatigued towards the bottom of laps and end of the day to compensate reduced grip strength. Dakota mentioned in the last inside line episode that you can use them for more leverage on...

6/15/2026 6:15pm Downtime mentioned how widespread the breeden bar ends are becoming, with people like Bruni, Pierron and many many others using them. Owning a pair, having recovered from 2 broken hands (left then right) in 3 years, I've found they definitely live up to the hype and really helped with arm pump and security of my weak hands on the bars. The bar ends are a much more interesting innovation than I originally expected, because they significantly change the biomechanics of the upper-body while riding. Stopped by the Orbea pits this weekend and they've cut grips down (pretty sure it was...

6/15/2026 6:13pm Nah I think it's just a modern perspective on an older brake. The Code RSC has always felt like an OK brake for trail bikes for me and that's about it. Code R belongs on Trek Marlin factory builds and not a lot else. Codes have plenty of power in the same way that my old Transition Patrol from 2015 had plenty of wheelbase. Got great memories of that bike feeling fantastically long and slack, I hope to never ride one again because the memories will be ruined.

6/12/2026 11:39pm Last fall, I noticed that some Shimano factory-supported teams had riders still rocking the M9120 lever over the new M9220, and I'm still seeing it today. Guys like Luke-MS on Giant and Ryan G of Yeti in enduro, and other random bikes in pit videos. What could the explanation for this be? For all intents and purposes, the M9220 is a better, updated version, so what reasons could there be not to make the swap? Like, when Mavens came out, it felt overnight that everyone was using them, and we haven't (and won't) see a Code RSC on any of...

6/12/2026 11:31pm Nathan Pontvianne looks to have gotten his hands on the same unreleased fork stanctions (steel?) that the Specialized team have been running for a while. You can see them better in the latest Vital RAW.

6/12/2026 6:11am Zero info on their website about these brakes ... other than the fact they are 1000€, made in Germany and supposedly powerful. Couldn't even find the pad type!
