It's based on budgets. Those budgets are a financial blueprint for company activities and, due to a slow down in sales right now, the budgets are not adding up. This means they are getting re-balanced, and companies are looking for ways to cut expenditures to make the math add up. Budgets set during the covid boom may not have reflected...

9/1/2023 9:49pm

Myself and 4 friends bought either the carbon or the alloy version of the Rise within the past 1.5-2 years. Not one person is still riding them. All of us are 40-something, good riders, technically capable with full home workshops and some with past bike industry experience. -Woefully inadequate spec for an ebike - fox 34, 2 piston brakes w/180mm rotors, light weight trail bike tires. All need to get replaced immediately with parts appropriate for an ebike - keep this in mind when you consider what the actual weight of the bike will end up being, because there goes...

I like that VitalMTB has gone the route of big bro VitalMX with discussion threads for each event, but the forum needs some cleaning up otherwise there are like always four parallel discussions all on the same topic.

Depends on the Slayer. The 27.5 and 29 have different amounts of travel and overall progression. I'm 6ft, 175lbs before gear, and use a range of 400-425 on the 29, and 450-475 on the 27.5. Here's the starting chart for Slayer coil setup: https://www.bikes.com/sites/default/files/resources/MY20_Slayer_SpringR…

3 reasons. 1. because 97.5 is a radio station. B. "reverse mullet" is breaking our community apart and we need to come together. III. beavis and butthead would laugh at 69er. if we need to go to court over it, our lawyers said that the "6" could come from "650b" and we'd probably have the case thrown out.

Random fact about the heat treating, or lack thereof. The frame could have been age-hardened.

10/17/2018 10:42am

I am sorry, but FRM Obi1 seatpost is not even available on FRM´s own website. Maybe you can tell me, why? Where can you buy it, or where can you find information about it, besides the old articles? Also the FRM weight is for 60mm drop and 27.2 diameter. DIVINE SL is 30.9 an 80mm drop. Quite a bit of a difference.

Geometry: even today's inexpensive bikes have better geometry than the bikes of 2010 or earlier Kinematics: same goes for kinematics. We've learned quite a bit in the last 10 years. Suspension: Low end suspension today was the high end suspension of yesterday. Take the guts of Motion Control. That was in the high end forks 10+ years ago and now...
