How are brands so far off on what is needed for compression and rebound damping with all the development time and money behind these products?

Yeah, let's go back to rumors and stop with this sensitive ankles pedal kickback talk

Would y'all want to see a 15-minute VitalMTB video with back-to-back testing on a section of brutal rocky chunder with different pedal kickback theories to see if the Ochain really works as advertised?

At first glance it looks like pretty much all impacts would go through the IFP system until the IFP has bottomed out inside it's bore and then things would flow 100% through the shim stack. As long as the IFP can reset from its bottomed out position you'd be able to have access to that super light damping at any point unlike with a bypass. Whether that's for better or worse deep in travel, I'm not sure. In the automotive world Bilsteins are usually fantastic bang for your buck. I'd hope that would transfer over as well.

Anybody posted this yet? Saw the serial number of one of those fox live valve shocks and entered it on the ridefox site as a joke

"press this button if you want tacos at the finish line"

I used to look after the rental bikes at a bike park. People used to blow the forks and shocks up all the time so I de-coupled the compression adjusters. They'd come back complaining about the bike and I'd turn the knobs a few clicks for them. They's come back next run raving about how much better it was now.

Plz point me in the direction of Schwalbes for half the price of Maxxis thanks in advance

don't miss the homepage because you'll miss this. mclaren ebike with 161nm of torque and this "display" https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/mclaren-yes-mclaren-launche…

There are a hundred riders who are more worthy of a sponsored ride than Lucas. If anything he might get a deal for a mate from Lusty who imports Transition into Australia to plug on his podcast. After a summer of hanging out with OF models on the GC, I cant see him being competitive. Sam Hill, is a legend of the sport but unfortunately is well past his prime between the tape. Filming some shredits may be the only value to a sponsor.

So exactly what tyre wiz does?

they should add it as an accessoire when buying a new tues. kinda ridiculous to launch that „new“ bike and their team riders are already using a different configuration the next day

When we get to page 666 Im going to give everyone a little bit of hell and start asking questions about tire treads, brake modulation, brake pads, calipers, ebike battery specs. All of it.

This forum is FIRING and I am so happy for it.

Wonder if Greg would be interested

Might've just figured out the name of the new schwalbe assegai resembling tire. Oops my bad. Albert Gr___? Also looks like new schwalbe branding, not sure how to feel about that

first ride of the new YT tues is up on pinkbike. underwhelming is all that comes to my mind… bike looks the same 99% plus geo from 2020. using that diaper just to generate hype. the YT hypemachine strikes again IMO!

As expected “the best” wasn’t the best and it won’t be again i still see clevis mount shock and headset cable routing 👎

I happened to stumble across two new Devinci Chainsaw builds that I havent seen posted anywhere: XT My first post on here pertained to a Chainsaw listing that had Deore groupset that seemingly was incorrect but now appears it was just delayed? (display picture is the SX build) https://www.devinci.com/en/bikes/mountain/chainsaw_deore12s_silver/ DH build gets a new colorway:
