New 3d printed titanium levers for the Piccola it seems like, recognized the shape from a set they showed at some bikeshow a while back Lets see if there are any other reworked bits. The piccolas has been out of stock for close to a year, not sure if they have built up stock or done something more. Release is apparently april 24th according to "derbikedoc" on instagram. Pic from a bikeshow, seems very similar to the shape in the video above.

Specialized Gravity on new brakes.

And on rotors installed wrong way around.

As someone with a front seat on brake mount designs/development for a number of years, there are pros and cons to each mounting method depending on the material and frame design, and the intended customer. Often the intended customer preference outweighs the best possible engineered solution. Shear force loading the caliper bolts is a non-issue in most cycling applications. For a steel frame, the complexity and cost of using either a post mount or direct mount design might go against the simplicity and cost reduction goals of that project. Those customers might prefer something simple, inexpensive, and easy to use...

Yes. We had a standard that did not require threads to be cut into either frames *or* the calipers themselves. Roach a thread and you don't need to repair a frame, replace a caliper, or bleed your brake line -- just replace a cheap aluminum adapter. And don't get me started on how many slightly different lengths of flat-mount brake bolts are out there because every different chainstay depth requires a different bolt. Flat-mount brakes: brought to you by the same minds that think thru-headset cable/hose routing is a perfectly fine idea.

That rear brake mount can go fuck itself though.

To me its a no-brainer, the UNNO (assuming its available in your country). 38 fork, Downhill casing tires, 200 more watt/hours in the battery, and the most powerful motor on the market, but still nearly 5 pounds lighter. Plus the UNNO looks very unique, in a good way.

Tech Rumors and Innovation For rumors of tech. No one cares what chain stays you prefer take it somewhere else.

What about chainstay girth? Too far?

Came here to see some new tech news but all i got was a bunch of opinons about chainstay length no one really cares about.

No one cares... but I'm going to post it anyway. I'm 6'2", I like a 490-500mm reach and I like a 445-450 chainstay to pair with that reach. That range depends on the HTA and front center, but I can be happy with a bit shorter CS with a bit less reach or a bit steeper head tube angle. The Vala's (and the bullit) look pretty close to spot on for me, I quite like those geo figures on my XL v6 nomad. That's not to say that I don't also enjoy a short chainstay on the right bike... but...

Back when I was young and much faster, in 2011 when short chainstays were all the rage, I had the gen 2 Coilair Magic link. It had like 470mm chainstays or something (thats really long for a 26" bike from 15 years ago). I was faster on it for my local DH track that had lots of steep, loose shale where the 3 min DH segment had average speeds above 25 mph. It was faster for me than my DH bike at the time, despite the Kona having some really crappy tires on it. However, that same Kona was noticeably...

Yeah - Some new Moto suspension from Intend. Sliding bushings in the front fork, and a newly developed air+coil rear shock. Shock only recommended for people above 85kg. Also modular shock mount, so you can swap between regular eyelet and trunnion mount, cool idea. Limited to 10 pieces, seems like they are already sold out. But we can hope they start selling the rear shock in the future, but in their normal colors. Seems like a lot of work to develop a full cnc'd one piece shock housing, and having springs made+speced by Eibach for 10 shocks. https://www.intend-bc.com/shop/moto/?v=efad7abb323e

Titan is technically 5 years old and is still such an amazing bike you can happily ride it for years to come. But something new has to be cooking, last week they were selling off frames on their US store with something like 50% discount... Just hope they are not moving into the "companies be shutting down" thread, you cant be really sure in theese uncertain times 🤐

Towers are not tall enough. Said to be a new 32”. Going to be called MegaSkyScraper. Remember me as I just leaked the companies biggest news. Theyre coming for me.

Your chin is the mudguard now 🤷‍♂️

Cane creek joins the upside down party.

In theory, if your pinch bolts don't ever slip then the torsional rigidity added by the axle would be a function of OD and ID. All the hex buys you is the assurance that it can never slip.

As somebody who's tested this variable back to back on the same chassis (not two totally different forks), the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Maybe we need to do a fork stiffness deep dive like the excellent frame compliance analysis Burney did. But in short, forks also have roll and wag. Everyone usually thinks of only wag and they test it with the wheel between the legs, but I'd argue this is only a valid indicator of stiffness during full braking on dry pavement. In this situation, the hex axle can offer a small benefit in reducing wag, but in...
