4/15/2026 1:49pm Hey all, I can finally take off my very sneaky blue tape camouflage to reveal that yes, Iām reviewing the new Nomad. Because Iāve spent so many years on the old Megatower, Iām framing this as a Megatower vs. Nomad comparison. Especially interesting for me because of the rumors that the Megatower is going away and the new Nomad does not take 29ā rear wheels. I only have a couple rides in on the new bike, but so far the geometry feels really good and the bike feels solid and stout. Weirdly I havenāt been able to figure out the...

4/11/2026 11:33pm My carbon Optic with XT, air springs and no inserts is 8lb heavier than the first Tempo build I clicked on in the bike checks section. Lol.

4/10/2026 6:24am What Avinox pulled off is impressive engineering but I would have rather seen them stay in the 90-100 Nm Range and therefore make the motor smaller und lighter. Having a Bosch CX4 bike myself (Canyon Strive:ON) I really don't miss more power but less weight would be really appreciated.

4/9/2026 11:27pm Curmudgeon moment incoming, my apologies: This is exactly the reason I don't give a shit about motocross or cars or a million other things. I 100% don't give a shit about numbers. "Oh, but this one can do 150nm of power!" Cool. I don't care. I don't ride a bike looking for the easiest way to do anything. Does it do 150nm of making my will to live stronger? Will it do a 30-second boost mode of shutting my brain off? Is it 1300W of power that'll die in a year and completely brick the bike for two months while...

4/9/2026 11:11pm Ya know, I'm changing my tune about 32" wheels. I don't really have all that much interest in owning a 32" bike, and I fully expect most, if not all of the first 32" bikes to not be in my wheelhouse... But right now, I'd kill for anything that isn't related to an ebike to read about. Never before have I yearned to digest some bike stuff that just involved the measly 250w that I struggle to put out. So... bring on the 32" content please, I am primed and ready for it.

4/5/2026 8:15am Well, turns out the manufacturer of such shiny products, happens to be engineers themselves, and after testing and comparisons came to the conclusion that, with their design, the difference in stiffness between the 15 and 20 was only 4% a % that can easily be offset with the right choice of hub rather than something random like most people run ( see Yeti and their podium builds with dt 350 ) After riding the Edge with the 15mm axle and i9 hydra 2 front hub, I came to the conclusion that I donāt need a 20mm axle and the pain...

3/12/2026 3:46pm The Chinese play dirty? Have we not come to the point where we realize all money guys play dirty? Itās called ābeing good at business,ā unfortunately. I know we were taught differently but dude. Singling out The Chinese is bonkers! Ten years ago I was asked, in writing, to go on Amazon to pump up positive reviews when I was at the bike company. I couldnāt believe it but nobody around really thought it was anything untoward. Luckily my slimeball director was also a total coward so I was allowed to just laugh at the sales group whoād brought it...
