It kind of reminds me of the pachycephalosaurus

Wonder what will happen with that product. Joe Breeden himself seem to be doing some product development with Wolftooth. Picture from MBUK

15 years ago we had an athlete turn up with their fit numbers all out of whack, old bike gone back to sponsors etc etc, BUT: they had a sticker prominent on seat tube that was identical to one on my tool box. I managed to print an a3 image of the old bike and translate all the measurements with a pencil and ruler. It took quite a while, but ended up bang on. Saddle height, offset, reach, bar height, stack. All this by hand…

Unfortunately I'm an idiot, so I'll answer your question even if it is sarcastic. I found a known value that's easy to measure, the rear brake rotor. I set it to 203mm (as mentioned in a bike check from my memory) 16.2cm = 6.377 inch, rounded up however the app used rounds things and also not a perfect angle. Closest match for phone size would be a Iphone 16/17 pro max at 16.3 cm or a google pixel 9/10 at 6.3 inches. I'm going to go with the iphone 16/17 pro max. I should touch grass. I'm also either going...

Just visited my parent’s house and I’m going home with some early 2000’s MountainBike Action copies. Looking forward to the 2005 buyers guide and early day gearbox ideas. Print is fun.

notice in the race replay from TN national that dylan maples' pivot dropouts look custom/different (sorry, wish i had a better angle). edit - found this

The Vital MTB Forum Law strikes again: "given sufficient time, all threads descend into pointless tech talk" 🙏

Nope, stanchions still flex a helluvalot under impacts. Dig into the old G Out galleries Vital used to put out regularly and you can see a number of examples of most every RSU fork flexing, visually coming out of plane with the headtube.

It’s almost as if the chainstays are proportional…

Coming from the PNW and never seeing running water on a long ride in SoCal has been a real adjustment, and it means I have to carry way more water on my person, or spend a lot of time looking at maps to figure out where all the stores and water fountains are, or both. I miss creeks. And shade. And overcast days. Don't ever leave. Stay there as long as you can, Cam. AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

Not specifically tied to Fox, but in general launching at Otter has lost its luster. You spend a year and tons of money developing a product. It gets shared on the media at Otter and then gets shuffled to the bottom of the page pretty quick because so many new things are coming at the same time. Launching just before Otter gives more time of consumer attention and then gets seen again at Otter. I think that trend will continue with less and less officially launched at Otter, especially for those with significant marketing budgets.

Re: IMBA (and other trail associations) besides them building almost exclusively flow trails, I find the biggest drawback is the mob mentality of people that take part. -Come in and gaslight local government into letting them be the judge jury and executioner regarding how the entire trail system will be built and managed moving forward. -Build exclusively flow. (Requires excavators) -Gaslight local government into requiring parking permits to support excavator trails people didn’t ask for. Parking used to free. -Extended and unnecessary trail closures whenever it even slightly rains. “It’ll ruin the flow berms bro, be a good trail steward...

I have it in a few bikes. I WORK AT DT SWISS. I have not ridden o-chain. I live in Western Colorado and basically ride in the 10 degree setting all the time. When I go to the bike park, then I swap to the 20. On my e-bike, it is always in the 10 setting. On my PNW trip last year I swapped depending on where I would ride. Around here, trying the 20 degree at our techy trails, you do get a bit of a thud when riding technical terrain on the analog bike. I haven't noticed that...
