4/13/2025 12:22am Possibly related, in the recent MBR video about the new Levo, there is this foam model next to the one of the designer's desks: In the (possibly relevant) rendering above the models, it looks to be a bike with a single crown:

4/13/2025 12:19am There are a few people who I eagerly await pre-season race footage of, top of the list is Loic and based on his recent story I'd say we aren't disappointed. New/Raw brake calipers, possibly uncovered rear shock finally, new chainstay, new/kinked seat tube? There's too much and yes I am hoping someone posts the screenshots for me.

4/13/2025 12:16am Yes, it looks like Praxis is using the same/a very similar shifting system as the Vyro shifting chainring, but they've packaged it in a gearbox. The Praxis gearbox looks awesome if it works. As others have mentioned, the old Honda derailleur-in-a-box system was the king of efficiency and mechanical simpliciaty, but limited by the size of a cassette that you could fit in the box. This system from Praxis looks like a way to fit more gear range into a more compact space by routing them in series. Super cool. Chains are a billion times more efficient than my last...

4/13/2025 12:16am I can't figure out why anyone making an inverted fork in 2025, especially a single crown inverted fork, wouldn't use the Manitou hex axle to add torsional stiffness. The patent is expired and it adds almost no weight. I imagine a 15mm hex axle is significantly stiffer in torsion than a round 20mm axle, and doesn't require a new front hub. Especially if you're already doing pinch bolts, you can do it the way the Dorado has been doing it since 2002? It's so simple! We'd finally settled on Boost 15mm as a trail bike front hub, and now it's...

4/9/2025 2:00pm +1 on the horse issue. They’re literally the single most destructive/disruptive user group I can think of (post holing and eroding everything they touch, shitting everywhere, easily scared, etc.) but they get minimal flack as far as I know because the user group is mainly rich old heads that have more influence over public land use in most places. I also think a lot of these issues would be alleviated if local govt/land managers would allow/invest in more mtb specific trails and infrastructure. You look at areas like Bentonville Arkansas, Knoxville, TN and lots of other southern/southeastern cities where mtb...

4/9/2025 2:00pm Hikers/walkers/runners generally don't expect anyone else to be on the trail when they are, regardless of speed. Runners in particular can get incredibly upset if they have to adjust their pace for whatever reason. Whenever I'm on my bike and I meet other users (except bikes
), I always slow down and try to be courteous. Even then the amount of people on foot that are completely oblivious to their surroundings never ceases to amaze me

4/9/2025 1:58pm I think mtb riders are finally experiencing what hikers have felt since we started riding their trails. Having a bike pass you at 15mph when you walking or stopped on the trail isn’t all that different from being on an analog and having an eeb pass at 20. Now the eebs are pissed because Expensive Eebs will pass them at 28? Welcome to the club. Can we all agree that horses are way worse than class 3 eebs? I’d love for us to all rally around a common cause rather than let the man divide and conquer us

4/9/2025 1:58pm It isn't. Hikers aren't expecting bikes to be passing them uphill at almost 30MPH just like pedestrians aren't expecting cars to be passing them on the sidewalks.
