Noticed that the demo has a free-wheeling pulley on the crank, haven’t seen this in any of the other shots. Maybe I missed it… Waiting on more details about the brakes. Between the new hopes and these I really want to see what gets released first. Hard to imagine that the project black brakes are actually Brembo. I have a Brembo MC on my track bike and this design aesthetic doesn’t scream Brembo at all. My 2c is it’s a specialized design ripping off TRP Just like Lewis stole Trickstuffs patents lol.

Appears to be some sort of belted purse.

Enhance!

Cold cannot be the problem here. Do timing belts in cars break when its cold? I run a pinion/belt equipped fat bike all winter when its 0F and I have never broken a belt... The times I have broke a belt however, is after a rock strike. While all of the pinions have bashguards to protect the box, several of the bikes dont have anyway of protecting the belt specifically. If a rock kicks up and hits the belt, there's a good chance its damaged and can break. I have thousands and thousands of miles on gearboxes/belts and design bikes...

From the other site... Orbea uncovered and no magic found

Some close up screenshots from the Vital pits bits video of the brakes. Caliper appears to be forged which could mean the die is ready? CNC/3d printing might have been easier if this was a prototype. Possibly mass produced in the near future. Banjo and hose looks like from SRAM Code. The split clamp is also very similar to SRAM's matchmaker right down to the T25 bolt. There are lever reach and bite point adjustments. Carbon lever suggests molds are ready to go.

Only based on how others do it. If that’s the way they’ve been designed then there’s a good chance its ok

Thanks for the scrolling format. I love the nerdery, but always give up on having to swipe through.

What if we venmo you $3.76 to keep them up? Bidding war over spy shots, community vs brands.

have never seen this before - enormeus - https://dhsign.it/en/

They have been using the Enduro seat stays on this and the previous iteration of the bike. Old one has sandwich hanger, new one has udh

breeden goes into deets about the intense M1 gearbox DH bike

There was also a couple shots of the Ohlins shock in there with a view to see more of what they have going on. Electric valve on the HSC circuit. Maybe we are getting close to them sharing the info on it.

finn on the new prototype specialized does anyone else hope the derailleur is fakeNews?

The other levers that Hope do on Joe Barnes new bike (11th pic)

Oops, similar situation TQ HPR60 search and Yeti's new eeb just popped up.

Also doing the bike check Friday on the 38 USD but racing with the 36. 🤔

Not quite yet, I'm going to wait until the next two sessions are complete before getting into that. After each run I record notes on general feel and "perception of speed" before looking at the actual time. It is already quite interesting in regards to the data, not the results I was expecting for this track. The shocks being tested are both Marzocchi Bomber CRs (Fluid Focus tune and Avalanche racing tune) and the Vorsprung Telum.

Apologies for the radio silence, the winter/spring transition was a tough one for the test track. There were some changes made to the testing protocol; the number of test shocks has been reduced from 5 to 3. I want the data to be as accurate as possible, and as such the shocks are all run on the same day back to back. Given that it is a self shuttle situation, it was just not possible to do 11+ runs/day without fatigue being a factor in the times. The pedal back to the start of the track is a steep 15...
