I've heard that the next Shimano drivetrains are supposed to be 13 speed. Both the mechanical and Di2 versions.

The Marin Alpine trail XR has a nifty +- angle cups for a budget frame. So it's totally doable even at low cost. I really want a Rocky because of the headset adjust meaning you can size it perfectly, just wish it was 6.5k aud and receives mediocre warranty standards in aus.

Million dollar idea: every frame comes with three headtubes welded in a neat row to the front of it. Users can play around with reach to their heart's content, then use an angle grinder to cut off whichever ones they don't end up using. Or save them all for resale value. Choose your own adventure.

Canyon has a neat solution for reach adjustment on the Sender/ Strive. To sets of headset "cups" so the reach is 0 or + - 5mm. It would also be easier to make angle sets etc. Watch the video about reach adjustments here: https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/customer-service/mountain/sender/#video=ad…

I don't know if you can get them aftermarket, but Rocky Mountain sold the 2019 (?) Pipeline/Instinct with a ~10mm crown spacer so you could switch front wheels and get the same geo. It sat under the crown race I think. I feel like it would be relatively easy to make one, but I am no engineer.

The memo to bike biz went out over a year ago. Dual 27.5 is dead except on XS or sm frames. But don't say anything till u get rid of your inventory.

Had this realization at northstar on closing day. Finally realized that on some drops my ankles were getting blasted by PK and that I needed to let my feet rotate on impact. I don’t view this as a positive, though. Trying to absorb impacts while rotating my feet backwards is not enjoyable or efficient or very effective. If riders have adapted to this behavior that’s fine for them but I would much rather be on a bike that is designed to avoid that phenomenon. My biggest issue is that this has to be putting more weight in our hands/force into...

Saw this EXT Vaia at Sundance loam pass event on an Ari, talked to the ext guys for a bit about it. He said it’s internally adjustable from 170-200, meant for heavy enduro and dh. He said they’ll start selling hopefully in November for around 2k USD

Is the scout dead? It isn't even on the Transition website. I would be sad, but also wouldn't blame them for killing it. I was a scout fanboy. I went with a Norco sight in 2020 because of reasons, but one of them was because they also had a dedicated 27.5 bike. I was still a hold out, but the next bike I buy will be 100% be a mullet. It still makes me sad and slightly nostalgic though. I remember when 27.5 felt like big monster truck awesome size.

This is an actual PR that I read all the way through! A fascinating read and really insightful. This is how small brands get customers. She ain't a looker, but damn, do I want to try one now(I don't like/want ebikes).

Really glad that Cy shares his full development process. I love all the benefits of this over the cleaner looking integration that is heavier. I do also love what Lapierre has done with using an external swapable battery for weight distribution and ride feel. This should be more important than looks.

Back to tech rumors! An interesting drivetrain on the KTMs! 
Looks like it’s wireless and the derailleur seems very close to the rear triangle…

New Sentinel tomorrow, not sure how much is changing, but in-frame storage will be there. There may also be another model, potentially the Scout?
