Probably not going to be featured under "Beautiful bicycles" on the Radavist.

I started a new thread to keep the conversation going around TPC’s without bogging down tech rumors. Discussions around metals are also welcome! Materials and Processes for Cyclists

political posts and responses deleted. take them to " off the bike"

Double upvote.

One thing missing here is the fact that with the proliferation of composite know how, there are more people around able to safely repair a wider range of issues. Rather than pretending we are recycling carbon bikes I’d love to see more frames designed in ways that facilitate repair. Repair is verifiable in a way that recycling is not, it is cost effective for everyone concerned, and it is as close as you’ll get to good for the environment. It probably flows on to other design decisions to ensure repair is viable (like bearing placement, etc etc), but designing bikes...

potential inappropriate content warning 🤣 updated version of neko explaining his 32" experiment from mountain creek

Long time lurker, first time poster here. For some background I’m an aerospace composites engineer and spent several years in Advanced Product Development with an emphasis on environmentally friendly materials. There’s so much to get into on this topic and if folks are interested I’d love to start a dedicated thread on materials and environmental impacts. The TLDR is, carbon fiber as a green product on its own is a fallacy. The raw fiber production may result in a certain level of carbon sequestering, but the process is still so energy intensive I wouldn’t call it an environmental positive. As...

I’m trying to find a spare ride 60 motor. Not easy to find

Also looks like no Ochain on Jackson's V10, which would be a big change from his normal 16 degree custom Ochain setup. Either this is a freeride/bike park V10, or he has some hub magic going on. Wonder if this is a result of SRAM buying the chain of O.

With Santa Cruz crew shamelessly parading around Galbraith on the unreleased Tallboy I wonder how soon I am gonna see a spy shot of the carbon version? I know there was one that looked aluminum on here a month or so ago.

Can't sell 34" as the solution to all of your problems in ten years time if they go straight there now.

I'd be extremely disappointed in the bike industry if they didn't take this opportunity to also introduce a new hub standard. That would be VERY uncharacteristic of them.

Not to disrupt the 32" hub spacing convo but - I'm linking up with Specialized next week to ride/film a video on the new Demo 11. I want to focus this video more on getting everyone's questions answered about the bike since we will do a proper test of the bike later this summer during our DH Test Sessions. So if you have anything you want explained or answered, drop a comment here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/specialized-demo-11-what-do-you-wan…

Even the PB commenters are stealing from us now...

Can check out PB right now. lol at Kaz citing Skye Schillhammer, 'Transition’s marketing director and parking lot supervisor' with the spy shot in Transition's hq.

I love that it's Neko Mulally doing this. Nobody else would get out alive.

Remember folks we don't have to stand for this. We can report this inappropriate content. 😆
