This is one of the best threads in the MTB world. Awesome tech rumors and new products, but even better are the discussions that follow. People have questions about MTB products. It takes time to sort it out. We’re all still learning, always learning! And the discussions about new products and rumored products are kinda central to our progression. Maybe the discussion gets too granular for some, but in my short time here I have seen what others have mentioned, a natural ebb and flow of topics governed by the actual posting of rumors or releases. I think that if...

Regarding “derailments;“ Every discussion in here is about tech and innovation. If we are discussing damper designs, rubber compounds, frame materials, etc. How are any of those discussions a derailment? Does everything HAVE to be a rumor? I haven’t seen anybody post a movie review, a story about a riding trip, or the current weather in Iowa. It’s all relevant. Funny thing about all those links people put up to discuss specific topics. Nobody engages with them. This thread is always active and always interesting. If rumors are sparse, what’s the harm?

The constant whinging that tech rumours is getting derailed is kind of annoying and derailing in itself. In my opinion its OK to discuss the tech rumour or current happenings for at least a page or two, and then they generally dissipate or move to other threads. If a legitimate large rumour or release happens it naturally takes over the thread anyway, they're discussing damping and leverage because there isn't a lot happening right now. Plus, Primoz, Teamrobot and Cascade make up some of the best and most knowledge members and are creating a valid discussion. For better or worse...

I would rather see forbidden spending their cash getting Conner to the races instead of brook. I mean I like brook but he’s not setting the world on fire on the supernaught. While we at it get alex store & Emmy lann to more DH world cups

Question - you don't seem to have comments that most would generally disagree with yet you get disliked to the depths. Is there an inside joke or something I am missing?

Rant on (not aimed to you in particular) Death and spinal cord injuries are worse than a concussion. If you are lucky (meaning the expectations is a negative outcome=bad injury) to get away with something that is just better than those injuries after a crash on a feature you willingly decided to hit, then the feature it's dangerous. This is daredevil stuff, the risk of severe injury it does not add to how "hard' a line is to ride. The gap would be just as technical/hard if it was filled with pillows. Rant off.

Waaa waaa waaa don’t watch it then. Your two cents and mine don’t mean shit.

Would y'all want to see a 15-minute VitalMTB video with back-to-back testing on a section of brutal rocky chunder with different pedal kickback theories to see if the Ochain really works as advertised?
