Hear me out: Mountain Bike!

Calculated is 172mm

If only someone made a linkage that allowed a longer shock to to be run on the Levo and it yielded 170 mm of travel. That would be wild.

Hey all, I can finally take off my very sneaky blue tape camouflage to reveal that yes, I’m reviewing the new Nomad. Because I’ve spent so many years on the old Megatower, I’m framing this as a Megatower vs. Nomad comparison. Especially interesting for me because of the rumors that the Megatower is going away and the new Nomad does not take 29” rear wheels. I only have a couple rides in on the new bike, but so far the geometry feels really good and the bike feels solid and stout. Weirdly I haven’t been able to figure out the...

Because it wasn't updated at all. This looks like it's getting an update though. @noideamtber you mean proven to grenade and lock itself preventing the spring to return the cage and tension the chain?

Static and dynamic climbing rope also comes to mind. Hanging on the two ropes, loads are the same, as a freebody diagram would suggest. A 40' whiper on a dynamic rope is survivable, maybe even fun. 40' whiper on a static rope is a potentially life ending event, both for you and the rope. Something to be said for slowing down the acceleration over a bit of time.

David , maybe because you are just posting pics with little to no context?

I've got to say, Horst link bikes that have the shock mounted to the seat stay just feel a bit dead to me, mounting it to the rocker or link just feels a lot more lively. No idea why

The funny thing is... the garbage can is still the most important tool for cushcore install....

In static cases that is true, in dynamic cases the stiffness influences the peak force that is transmitted.

I found a better rendering on Commencal website :

Definitely a Horst link.

🤔 edit: apparently v3 clash

Ya know, I'm changing my tune about 32" wheels. I don't really have all that much interest in owning a 32" bike, and I fully expect most, if not all of the first 32" bikes to not be in my wheelhouse... But right now, I'd kill for anything that isn't related to an ebike to read about. Never before have I yearned to digest some bike stuff that just involved the measly 250w that I struggle to put out. So... bring on the 32" content please, I am primed and ready for it.

I saw the original post and read the comments, user stated it was a split belt. If you guys post insta screenshots make sure to include the username or hyperlink so people can take a look for themselves.
