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

cushcore's newest wonder tool - https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/rotary-tire-tool-radically-…

I think hucking to flat or nose casing a jump are both examples of extremely high frequency loads. A low frequency load would be a frame and fork bolted into a hydraulic test rig in a lab, where the force is cranked up slowly and consistently. Think about shaft speeds on a damper. Either one of those impacts would be considered a very high frequency (aka high shaft speed) impact, even if they don't literally happen over and over again at a high frequency. Just because I'm not hucking to flat 5 times per second doesn't mean I'm not applying...

Thank you. This was my thought, too. If you drive a car without a crumple zone into a brick wall at high speed, even though the same total force is being applied to the wall and to your body, your body and the wall will notice a difference compared to hitting the same wall at the same speed in a car with a crumple zone. In this analogy, the dual crown fork is the car w/o a crumple zone, transmitting all the force immediately to the headtube area, and the single crown fork is the car w/ a crumple zone...

The glovebox on the Stigmata has the same "bump". I'd theorize it gives more room inside, since the mechanism for the door would fight for space with the frame bag if you packed it tight on my MT V2. I'm pretty bummed if the Megatower is going away. A friend said they think it isn't, new one is launching soon but I haven't seen anything to indicate that.

I found a better rendering on Commencal website :

I'm just surprised they didn't call it the "rim jobber"

It's not a derailleur. It's a singlespeed chain tensioner that Reverse has sold (in a few different versions) for at least a few years.

Tbh I don’t get what the hang up is regarding dual crown comparability. I think that’s more of legal dept. jargon vs its actual capability. Toss a 40 on that hoss and don’t look back. If a frame can take a pro-level rider and a zeb, there’s zero reason it can’t take a dual crown.

It is me or the glovebox door is positioned a bit out of the frame perhaps creating a bigger opening? Or the down tube is slimmer but there is added room to make the glovebox usable.

is that the same launch color as the nomad 3? that miami vice colorway was fire 😍

I‘ve been told from a source I think is credible that there will be no Megatower V3 this season.

Looks like the new Nomad is coming Tuesday!

Yeah, it can be a headache. Korea is crazy convenient once you're in the digital ecosystem. Often a nightmare if you're not. In other news, course inspection with medical teams and WBD today!

I was so excited for this to be released, only to be completely let down by "443mm chainstays found across all five sizes" 😢

On the latest Kavenz prototype video it was hidden and mentioned "you probably know more next week".

🤔 edit: apparently v3 clash

A few days late but worth it.

yep, I rewatched it and realized you can see a Bosch wheel magnet twice. So I guess the question now is, did they use the CX or SX motor? My guess is CX since most people want full power.
