Took the below photo of Asa's bike with what I think is a prototype TRP caliper, cant recall if its been posted before apologies if it has.

Dude you came in with the family planning stats completely out of nowhere. That’s wild. If there’s been a reference to an interview with Tahnee Seagrave about her future life plans somewhere that’s one thing, but I see nothing like that in this thread. You decided your info was germane to the convo. It is not. If, tonight at our 8th grader’s meet-the-teachers event, the gym coach mentions when it makes sense for said 8th grader to pivot from standing broad jump to being preggo, I’m going to make a note of it. “Yeah so we’re all about getting the...

And many folks don't want children at all. I think the real problem stems from discussing non-athletic, personal life things when the person being discussed is a dedicated, lifelong athlete and the discussion is happening in a space dedicated to the discussion of that athletic pursuit. What if your coworkers at every meeting brought up how fucking inept you are at home and that time you threw a tantrum because the sink nozzle was still set to spray rather than stream? Has anyone talked about Finn retiring to become a father? He probably only has a few prime years of...

Hey DH community, We are working to add some west coast events to USDH by hosting a few casual UCI C1 races at our ranch this October. I put a blog post together and you can find it here: https://www.vitalmtb.com/community/judd%20de%20Vall/blog/08/15/2026/ent… We have more than $17k and 1,500 UCI points on the line for Elites this year. It’s fun (and challenging!) to put these together and we hope everyone is excited to come camp and race and support the series. Please spread the word. We will also be doing a C1 the week before Sea Otter in 2027. Hopefully the ranch...

@SIMONS.LAB really cool offering! Any possibility of developing some dampers compatible with dh forks? Would love to try one in my DH38

First up, thank you to the Vital team for presenting our product here! Since a few questions came up, I wanted to chime in and clarify a bit what we mean by the Tune Adjusters. As @Slavid666 analyzed pretty much spot-on, the High-Speed Tune Adjuster changes the port configuration underneath a non-preloaded tapered shim stack. With each adjuster position, one additional port is closed off, changing the hydraulically loaded area of the stack. The shim stack itself stays exactly the same, but the way it is loaded changes, which therefore changes the slope of the resulting force-velocity curve. That is...

A 4" x 0.7" diameter rod of tungsten would weigh about a pound.

Water is pretty heavy

Am I the only one that thinks using a bike diaper to hide pretty basic suspension is kinda lame. I guess it gets the people talking though.

They have nothing wrong with their bikes. Like remove the brand from the frame and Im intrigued. But you put ari on it and I just hate it. Astroturfing, diapers and basic bikes to look like theyre apart of the same boat as Canyon or Specialized, then they just have this design… they just infuriate me lol.

It’s a different layout than previous Wilson for sure. Curious to hear about it tho. DH bikes are the bomb.

BigLinkage in here trying to sell their leverage rate conspiracies.

I know it can feel like the phone is listening to you but that would break a bunch of laws- actually what’s happening is your friend is interested in a topic, companies have mapped your social circle and know you both hit the same WiFi network/voluntarily gave them your location, so they can make a guess that you spoke about x thing that they’re in to. A lot of data driven marketing is about linking up data sets like this, arguably it’s more skeevy than directly listening to you but there we are.

I love that you think gearboxes will become ubiquitous on ebikes and will entirely replace mechanical derailleurs and electronic battery-powered derailleurs and electronic hard-wired derailleurs and autoshift derailleurs and internally geared hubs, instead of becoming one more option among a confusing sea of options and pricepoints, like everything else in the bike industry. If only it were that simple.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a 4mm increase in a 57mm width, is not lost in the noise. It will be a measurably stiffer wheel (if that's what you want). Of course both options beat the crazy drive-side dish on typical 148 12-speed wheels.

Don't forget Canadian nats 🇨🇦🤙. https://zone4.ca/race/2026-07-26/11182382/results

Has this one been posted before? This guy rides a Devinci but doesn't have a current frame sponsor.

Lawlor will be at Worlds, Whistler and Lake Placid.

Time for a project update! A lot has been going on. First, the hardware has evolved. I've done a major redesign to make the logger more robust and easier to build. It now supports up to 8 analog channels, plus digital on I2C and a UART connector for external GPS. The firmware has moved a long way too. It now supports AS5600 and AS5048 rotary encoders and DAN-F10N GPS modules (these are available from Sparkfun on a breakout board and work really well). There is now an option to write log files in a compact binary format, which reduces file...
