A little bit of contrast and image levelling and it’s super clear. Yeti nailed down.

Most Horst links like the Frameworks have low anti rise values, and the floating brake can help further tune it without changing a thing else about the bike. Seems pretty normal to me. Cube was testing then out too a little while ago.

77designz just released their new bar after parting ways with WeAreOne. Looks like they are using the same principle as before with a thinner 33mm bar and a thicker 35mm stem clamping area. Instead of a alloy sleeve it is just thicker layup. Their previous bar was 258g and this new one is 220g. Also much cheaper at 163.85 € compared to 279.95 € before https://www.77designz.com/barlerina

Buddy of mine works for an mtb brand that did headset routing and they saw a noticeable dip in sales on these models. They’ve pivoted back on a newer model. Not sure if they’ve seen better success with that model but it will be interesting to see. My wife has a repeater and the headset routing has been a nightmare.

So a "buddy" of mine used to write reviews for MTB brands/apparel/components. He/they would not/hesitate/re-write negative reviews of things so as to help maintain the relationship they had with the companies they were dealing with. Sometimes, they just simply wouldnt publish a review for the product they were sent. Think back to the last time you read a overly negative review of a product. Now I get that most products are really good nowadays, and most reviews are written in a way to highlight the favourable aspects of a product, or to highlight that a certain product might not be...

The RS has MIPS Integra Split “ which combines an impact-savvy, dual-density foam layer and a Low Friction Layer between the two, to reduce rotational forces in a crash that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain.” The other speed frames have MIPS Air Node, which actually increases your likelihood of a brain bleed as punishment for not buying the $280 helmet.

Sorry to disappoint you guys... Its not a banshee. Its a mule we use to develop kinematics and geometries for the new Porsche bikes.

Gee I wonder where Elise Empey is going. Her robotic style was on point and she lugged that bike to solid results

he built that one 4 months ago and had the previous gen one built in 2023, he explained it in the video that since focus and santa cruz are under the same company and he wanted a DH bike he just gets a v10 with a focus paintjob/stickers

New Orbea DH bike?

alexandre fayolle back on UR NS Team - full roster Fabien Cousinié Team Manager “In today's environment it feels like a victory to come back racing for the 17th season! Through those years the team has done things its own way and we will keep doing that in 2025. As a team we have decided to not chase UCI points but rather be loyal and keep supporting our current riders Kye A’hern and Tegan Cruz while also giving another chance to the extremely talented and fast Alex Fayolle for his Downhill comeback. It’s going to give us more work to...

None of you tech-sleuths can enhance/superzoom the fitment details scribbled on that rear axle, and backwards translate it into what frame it's for? You all got high Freckle-gate standards to live up to.

*if the markings were acurate. You‘d be surprised how big the tolerance actually is.

Dunno to me the feel is less " It feels like some people decided to start a thing after a good ride and a couple beers." And more "vulture capital cash grab by churning out more "same, same, but different label" " marketing.

Cast must have spent some money to get Danny Mac Askill off Continental Tires. Automotive should have deep pockets... Otherwise I can't feel the least bit excitement looking at the Cast components...

I guess with DNIS brakes you skip steps 2 & 3 and go straight to neglect?

Freudian slip typo in the bio 😂 "de sigh"... 😑

Ronan Dunne with a saint crank that has a direct mount, xtr looking chainring

Cast went live now with their lineup of stems and handlebars. Strong list of riders on their rooster, but probably the least innovative new mtb company i`ve seen. Anyone up for a "38mm!!! high rise" handlebar? Read all about it: https://castmtb.com/
