I could believe Session because DH is at the forefront of investment and media again now that Enduro has been axed at the international level. The point of the Rail is that people out there do want full-power e-bikes. Another, perhaps more cynical thought, is that the Rail is what would be competitive for E-Duro, which (again leaning cynically) could...

Showed up today. Will likely head to a bike park on 8/30 so that's probably when I'll try it out and will post a review in a separate thread when I do (sorry not a rumor but relevant to what we had discussed). Feels very solidly built and installation looks extremely straightforward.

Re: that small batch steel frame first look on the other website: The statement that the founder's priority is durability, being "less than impressed" with modern day full suspension mountain bikes nicely captions the opening photo of a bike with a Cane Creek air shock

Presumably its name is "Spear" (which is German for "Spear")

See, the difference here is that ten years ago Charlie and company had an entire blog essentially dedicated to being pedantic little shits about bike industry garbage and we all loved them for it. So when he does it now, it's nostalgic.

That's normal for XD and XDr. Hope does the same thing. been like that for a few years. XDr 12 speed uses 11-speed spacing between gears so it needed a bit more room - just shy of 2mm as it would happen. I am assuming 13 speed comes about by SRAM using a narrower-than-11-speed spacing on the XDr driver. Certainly...

I believe I heard new bars and stem were in the works. Frames, not so much. I've personally seen a few roll out this summer but seemingly only for industry affiliates/staff (and I guess whoever wanted the Edmonton Oilers custom frame). Wouldn't be surprised if they keep making them but only for VIPs, events, and show pieces. I strongly suspect...

I used to complain about gravel gear range until I remembered that gravel is for people in the Midwest.

My understanding is that there won't really be a Range for 2025 and a likely early MY2026 will see a new platform.

So the rumour mill this week is swirling about the current Range being a single model year generation (spec/colour has been carried forward since release).

" there is no way to prevent forcing a shift" Let me introduce you to the latest, greatest, new thing from Shimano that just came out only 20 years ago, Rapid Rise! 🤣

I’m getting the vibe this is a word salad thing for everybody. Maybe try this: The chain “knows” when to shift because of how the system/cassette is designed. Or even better: the chain “knows” what to do after the derailleur instructs it to move. Almost sounds like I’m describing a mechanical drivetrain…
