That would be a crazy tooling/fixturing setup to machine that from a billet if that's the case. My bet is that its cast then machined to provide the necessary tolerances and surface finish. Either way I would really like to see a video of the machining in action!

June.

J-Tech Suspension makes them

I know there's already a bunch of info on it, but looks like Ritchie Rude was racing on the new Fox USD fork at the Squamish Enduro on the weekend.

New e*thirteen Helix Race Alloy GR Cranks and Chainring Helix Race Alloy GR Cranks e*thirteen developed the Helix Race GR Cranks to meet the demands of downhill, big bike park laps, enduro, and freeride riders, engineered and tested with their World Cup and Enduro athletes for durability and performance in challenging conditions. Working alongside our World Cup DH and Enduro athletes, e*thirteen engineered the new Helix Race GR Cranks. These Forged AL-6066-T6, CNC-sculpted aluminum cranks are designed for the rigors of downhill, big bike park laps, enduro, and freeride. The Helix Race GR shares the spindle design and low-profile shape...

it will be priced so they can stay in business and continue to make more stuff in the future. you are free to continue using cheaper* asian stuff if you like to. *not anymore, lol

This also doesn't look like the Trinity brake caliper?

Might be safe to assume Garbaruk is cooking something electronic here?

can we please stay rumors in here?! i get that these discussions are fun, but also annoying to most who just want to read about new tech/rumors and don‘t want to scroll through pages of off-topic discussions regarding chainstay length/right amount of travel/dropper post insertion/ etc. thx guys!

You just adjust your technique. If you rode exclusively high pivots for a while, then hopped on a more traditional design, it would immediately feel very strange the other way too.

Notower or megamad, pick a crab and be a dick about it.

This is not mtb but its one of the more interesting ideas lately, has it been already mentioned here?

Shrinkflation, just like the box of cookies. Pay the same get less.

this press release i just received seemed pretty tech but maybe it belongs in the geometry thread. i'll start here... I am reaching out to you because I believe your audience would be interested in our company's launch in early May and the two new products we're launching with, the Cardio Speeder and the Super-E. These are the first-ever "procumbent flying position" electric bikes on the market. The procumbent flying position, a new riding position invented by Martoni CEO, Marty Williams, is a posture that combines ergonomic riding with speed. On a procumbent bike, there is no saddle; riders step...

Holy Shit. They found Nessie?

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...
