That, is something Entirely different to a brake torque arm. The Ribi Quadrilateral. Designed by Valentino Ribi in the 70s. So much more than a 'traditional' Leading Link front end! Tested - in part, - by Roger Decoster - He even did a few GPs on VRs original steel , twin shocked prototypes. RD, persuaded Honda to buy the design / hire VR. And, they went hog wild on it - getting to the Single Shocked version in around 1982 : They never went much past that. Just another design bought by a massive company, and , ultimately shelved. Though...

Check out the Preston Petty No-Dive, from decades ago folks: There were quite a few variations of Torque Arm Anti Dive set ups tried in Motorcycling - predominantly Road Racing, plus, a some hydraulic set ups - a few of which reached production Motorcycle models. I've a couple of Preston's No-Dives, somewhere in my workshop, along with a few of his Fenders / Mudguards and his Headlights. All of the Anti Dive systems basically 'disappeared'.

Apologies if this has already been brought up, but Forge + Bond is now a pickleball paddle company. Quite the pivot.

How many bike companies have won a World Championship, a World Cup Overall, and then folded that same year?

“I keep spending revenue from my existing companies to buy more companies, and I can’t figure out why my existing companies aren’t profitable yet.” 🤔 tough question. Maybe another round of editor and content creator layoffs will help Outside mag finally realize its hidden potential.

Yeah saw that bike in the lift line this weekend at Whistler and it definitely threw me off! First thought was oh rad, someone custom painted a Santa Cruz (I love custom painted bikes) and then when he shifted, I saw the Knolly on it and got confused.

I don’t think it’s been publicized at all, but word is Cane Creek just laid off a good amount of people and seems to be feeling the overall bike crunch. I’m not sure they are at risk of going under, but they have made some significant cuts.

Harry Potter fans, of course. In all seriousness, the fact that someone at YT was manic enough to say, “...and we’ll get the Harry Potter set designer to do the displays!”, and then actually made it happen, says everything you need to know about the culture. I mean, I can kind of understand the Christopher Walken bike launch video. I'd never agree to it, but at least I sort of get it. This? HA! Nobody cares about bike displays, let alone cares so much to pay a top tier (I assume) set developer to build one. Bonkers.

10/15/2025 5:43pm What is the auction house thinking putting a reserve on those displays? Who do they think is buying those extremely specific, large marketing displays?

The glowing language about the dorm upgrade being accompanied by the photo of said dorm is hilarious. Is that supposed to be the improved version? It’s also interesting that Trek claims they did an audit of GTM earlier this year and didn’t find any evidence of CBPs allegations, so who is Giant paying back?

Time'll tell, but this reads like one hell of an ego self-pleasuring trip that'll end up with Fancy Designs on Mediocre Product.
