3/2/2026 11:44am That's interesting- do you think that Specialized has moved somewhat in this direction with their DSW frames like the Chisel FS? I can see where, if scaled appropriately, this would make the welding and alignment of an aluminum frame much less expensive to produce. Then again, I keep hearing that with tariffs and other macroeconomic factors that aluminum is no...

I feel like I have to say something here. About 5 years ago, when I was the executive director of Southwest Idaho Mountain Biking, we hired Momentum Trail Concepts to build a DH trail for us. What Steve and crew did on Pick Your Poison was exceptional. I am unfamiliar with the concerns you've voiced about Eagle County, CO. But as someone who has run a trail org and who has thousands of hours building and maintaining trails myself, I would have zero hesitation to recommend MTC as a top notch trail builder.

your currency is not much worth anymore, it lost like 25% in just 4 years against the swiss franc, what do you people expect things to cost when you import everything and the fascist king wants his cut on top?

It's been a while since I regularly raced DH, and I'm far from the ideal customer for this drivetrain. But as a fan of the sport, I can see so many advantages. I remember breaking chains from badly-timed shifts, always right before the course flattened out and you really needed to get some pedal strokes in!

If true, Classified could release an XD Slim Powershift hub and we could end up back at 2x6 drivetrains.

So, to preface what I'm about to say is that I am not anti-e-bike and that I'm ready for the downvotes. I don’t disagree that adding a motor is a huge innovation; my point is more about where the innovation energy is going and how uneven it feels right now. When I say “analog bikes lack innovation,” I don’t mean there’s none. Things like improved materials, better tolerances, frame designs, wireless shifting, etc. are all real advancements. But compared to the explosive pace of e-bike development, it feels like the entire industry’s R&D gravity has shifted dramatically toward electrification and...

2/7/2026 7:16pm Definitely wish there was more communication, but with the sheer size of some of the features I’m glad they’re being super cautious.
