You joke, but mfers talking bout this...

Its shit like Canfield getting upset that treks proto DH bike has bars of metal with a spring along with an idler mounted somewhere and an adjustable pivot point that makes me roll my eyes. I have countless hairball linkage drawings that look super similar to this that I have just drawn up and looked at how they would perform for fun... I didn't steal his "idea" I arrived at that shit the same way anyone else would... I used my brain. I understand how the industry works I just wish at times the industry could you know "be cooler"...

Hot take. Patents on suspension linkage designs "We'd be a lot cooler if we didn't"

Loooool! Dario DiGiulio just mentioned bike brands converging on crab in the latest PB podcast (17:50 if you want to hear it). 🤣🦀

You are aware of people are running 600g cassettes these days,right? And dh casing tires on double blue flow trails lol

Hardline not Hairline. Back to the racing.

ITT: People with no tech rumors arguing about how big their dick— er, uh, I mean how big their legs are

Says 530 % on their site. Looks like you get an effectively 10-53T cassette with very fine gear jumps and quite a bit more complexity (parts, shifting methods, etc.). I would love a Classified system (and is an option where I would like electronic shifting) if the cassette was 6spd 10-14-18-24-32-44 with a Classified-esque system filling in the gaps. So not to offset the whole cassette, but to actually use each cog of the cassette for 2 gears. And do it via a single remote.

Both Pivot and Evil frames are, or were as of 2020, made in Myanmar at a place called Very Impressive Prospect Co., Ltd (VIP). Allegedly the factory workers tried to unionize and the labor leader was stabbed by goons. https://globalmayday.net/2020/10/18/myanmar-union-busting-at-sporting-g…

Moi Moi pulled down his video and Spomer nuked the Fox info. Tech rumors forum bringing the heat this week.

Frame definitely cracked somewhere. Looks like maybe 'seat stay' snapped this time. Bike low-riding and rear wheel pitched to the right.

New coil shock by Intend? 🤤

Interesting take. I don't think you would get nearly as many takers if that was the case. Honestly, I think this format is great. Also, I know everyone wants this to turn into a direct competitor to world cups. While that would be cool, I actually really love watching the camaraderie that is on display at the hardline events. Still, i'd love this to become a series and more wc guys to rock up to the event. But it feels like its in a good place right now.

" OK so a little more complicated than that" yes. First you must perform the proper rituals to appease the machine spirits. After that it's kinda like powder coating, except with plasma. *still grossly oversimplified

This is the (Horst) linkage, defining the axle path: This drives the shock: If it's the same colour, it's a single piece. The chainstay of the horst link has an extension, to which the red short link attaches and pulls down on it to rotate the silver rocker, driving the shock.

None of you tech-sleuths can enhance/superzoom the fitment details scribbled on that rear axle, and backwards translate it into what frame it's for? You all got high Freckle-gate standards to live up to.

Not necessarily trolling, the X01 DH cassette (CS-XG-795-A1) works with 11s chains

Surprised I'm not seeing anyone mention SRAM's post regarding Commencal/Muc-off's full roster. Nice to see Maples still on there and the Alran's. Commencal saying PomPom, Maury and Loris are on fresh 3 year deals. Stacked team

Which makes me hope Gate ups the ante after someone takes the win and allocates &500k to a $1mil to someone who wins an overall on a gearbox. For men and women.

Bikes that now have heavier, more expensive wireless shifting, that not everyone wants.
