That's a negative on both "rumors." Uncle Cliffy is closer than Sasksier, though.

Goggles and a half shell are amazing when the temps approach freezing. Combined with a neck buff/face gaiter, they make for a pretty great day in the cold. It would be interesting to see how many pro riders with poor vision wear lenses or how many have had laser surgery. I strongly recommend Lasik or Lasek. I was nearsighted, had...

Man, that Van Rysel is a bit of a harbinger of the future of XC. Was it one or two races where Cannondale was experimenting with deep-section wheels and the field was running near semi-slicks for the short-track races. 32's and deep-profile wheels could mean courses with few to no tight, twisty tech sections or sudden transitions. More long, sweeping...

Looks like a quirk developed from running a crank stopper, plus keeping his feet and pedals in the sweet spot. I dusted off a Hope Pro 4 hub for my flatbar roadie that does the same thing every time I'm coasting and hit a bump, crack, or paver. Reminds me of life before high-engagement ratchet hubs, while punishing me for...

That’s it, Shaft driven bikes. Shafted Purse 2028, I’m calling it now.

I have faith that in 2-6 years, if they don't fold the program and based on inflation, we'll see a magnificent carbon frame-only option become available that costs as much as a fully loaded 1994 Geo Metro. Maybe a complete bike will make the Demo 11 look affordable! #dreamer

Ride inside the poles. They are the same for everyone. If there is one that is in an utterly stupid place, hopefully it gets realised early on in practise and gets moved. Its like a berm. Do you ride the main line through the braking bumps or do you try riding on the smooth top 2.4 inches and risk going over the top? Frankly I'm more impressed that the commisaires were actually watching the runs in such detail that they were able to pick this up within a few minutes. I'm more interersted in justice for Kiefer. Dropped from 6th...

Specialized definitely needs a response to Avinox ASAP. I'll tell you something funny about the Levo. Levo's were probably like 60-70% of the Korean E-bike market. On rides, I'd see groups of 5-10 E's where only 1 or 2 weren't a Levo. The Gen 4 battery voltage exceeds the e-bike category and is classified for E-motos. Specialized Korea has been...

Oh my gosh there are some negative Nancies in here. I’d rather pay even $22 and know it’s helping to pay athletes than throw money at WB and MAYBE get to see race runs that aren’t interrupted by literally anything else they think has higher ROI. I bet every single person reading this thread spends more than $11 every time they go to a coffee shop. That stupid (delicious) cardamom latte could help pay for high quality DH racing. I know I’ll be paying for this, come join me on the virtual couch.

To be honest, World Cup isn’t on our radar- we’d rather do things our own way. In saying that, as others have said, we don’t have the accommodation to support a traditional World Cup event. The smaller Beyond Gravity athlete group allows us to bring in the fastest of athletes, while looking after the athletes well on all fronts. This also ensures our broadcast can properly showcase each athlete.

Yeah, bit of a bummer. Bespoked is always a two-wheeled nerd fest. Dresden especially seems sweet for the mountain bikes. Oregon is so heavy on the road and gravel. Have a feeling Osaka will be the same.

9/16/2026 1:33am

I think it was a Rob Rides video that said there aren't any plans for a bottle-shaped range extender. The logic they used was that riders should/would take a break while riding and be able to charge their bikes enough to negate the need for a range extender. Great for those doing laps/loops, not so good for the epic out-and-back...

Love it! I'm also both surprised and disappointed that there hasn't been a "make another thread" comment, as someone is usually on top of this 😄 Now for a proper Tech Rumour comment. That new Magura brake looks like a very cosmetic update on the MT7 caliper. I'm guessing they're taking a similar route to Hope with the V4/E4 where...

Normally Cush Core's marketing is cringe at best, but the Bead Bro really is like having 3 hands. Best $20 I've spent in my toolbox.

I've used a Giant Control Tower HP/HV for close to a decade and never had a problem setting a tubeless bead. Ditched my charger/inflator because of it. Not all High-Volume pumps are created equal. Prepare your jokes... The Control Tower's handle shaft is the maximum allowable diameter to fit into the main shaft, so you get nearly double the volume...
