Just got this from Knolly: A Message from Noel Buckley I'm going to keep this simple because you deserve that. The last few years have been the hardest this industry has ever seen, and Knolly has not been immune. But we have been fighting through it: restructuring costs, tightening operations, and doing the difficult work of right-sizing the business to match a new reality. We were making progress. That progress was cut short. Our bank, RBC, has made the decision to call in our account. This comes at a time when RBC is posting record annual profits, $20.4 billion last...

New Fox 38 release date is March 26th 4pm UTC Nothing crazy - Glidecore air spring, X2 damper, speed hole arch. Weight starts at 2200g for 29" New 40 release date is March 19th 4pm UTC Similar treatment as the 38, but looks like a new mud guard and cassette tooling for the air top-cap

Coming from the PNW and never seeing running water on a long ride in SoCal has been a real adjustment, and it means I have to carry way more water on my person, or spend a lot of time looking at maps to figure out where all the stores and water fountains are, or both. I miss creeks. And shade. And overcast days. Don't ever leave. Stay there as long as you can, Cam. AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

I hope Vital is doing a no holds barred Cascadia downcountry grudge match between the Spur v2 and Reya.

3/11/2026 6:58am theoretically speaking, what would be the ideal/optimal hub / axle system interface configuration for an inverted fork?

This is great @PUSH Industries!!! I really enjoyed our conversation about hub designs, but my review was already at 6000 words and I had to make the tough call to leave a lot of this hub talk out of it. Stoked to see you wrote this up yourself, and I hope this info can help hub buyers and manufacturers going forward.

3/6/2026 8:15am a few things to add here: certain processes - like anodizing - are generally outsourced because of the high cost / capital it would take to try and set up that kind of process in house. for the companies that do specialize in something, again using ano as an example - the high capital means they typically need to keep...

3/5/2026 12:33pm what makes these stand out over eewings (to me at least), is that they are rated for DH use. (worth noting here I own 2 sets of eewings)
