matmattmatthew Added a reply to 2026 MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation - Longer and Slacker
1 day ago Is imminent next week? I've come close to pulling the trigger on a new frame a few times over the last couple of weeks. I've partially been hesitant because I had a feeling Yeti would release their new mid travel bike the day after I bought a frame.

8/12/2026 10:11am I guess I'm core because I made the Tomac/Ridemonkey post.

8/10/2026 7:53pm Or a horizontally mounted Mass Tuned Damper. Reduce lateral vibrations and add weight down low. Win win.

8/9/2026 11:30am On the Tomac subject, does anyone remember there were rumor and even pictures I think, of Tomac and a few engineers with one of the Honda Bikes at a bike park in Colorado doing testing. This was a year or two after Honda folded, apparently Honda loaned the bike to Tomac with the idea that Tomac might bring the bike...

8/6/2026 6:45pm Funny timing. I just bought a pair of 2FO cliplite in my size on PB for 55 bucks, they are brand new. They are my 3rd pair, I actually bought my 2nd pair before while my 1st were still going strong. My 2nd pair bit the dust a couple months ago and I’ve been searching for my size on eBay...

7/29/2026 12:39pm I'm hoping so. The SJ15 is on my short list of new bikes; I've been holding out to see what Yeti releases. The new LT looks phenomenal, but it's more bike than I need, and the $$$ is a little hard to swallow. I know there are rumors of new shorter-travel Yetis that will be released, but I can't imagine...

7/29/2026 8:53am That is so true. I have Maxxis on most of my bikes, even my wife's bike, and every time I need to order new tires, I have to refresh myself with all of their nomenclature and different models.

7/28/2026 2:23pm I know it's the highest spec model, but it's still a little refreshing to see a longer travel (enduro light?) complete bike that is around 30lbs. Nowadays, it seems like downcounty bikes are hovering around 30lbs and longer travel bikes are 35+. As someone who likes to do big days in the saddle, it's nice to see some new bikes...

7/22/2026 8:26am I was thinking about doing something just like this for my SS epic evo. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have iscg mounts. I was thinking about having something coming off the swing arm pivot but I’m not smart enough to implement it.

7/21/2026 9:40am I had no idea that’s how people were racing SS. As a SS aficionado, I’ve seen a few workarounds with the slope style tensioners, one of them advertises the biggest compatible rear cog is 17t but plenty of guys have squeezed in an 18t and made it work. Other guys have used the Wolf Tooth goat link along with the...

7/21/2026 8:22am As someone who owns multiple Singlespeeds, I wouldn’t even pay that much. I’m currently running a SRAM DH derailleur as a tensioner on my SS epic evo.
matmattmatthew Added a reply to Does anyone actually believe T Type shifts under load better?
7/20/2026 3:38pm In my personal experience, I think it shifts better under load than it does in the stand. When I built up my first Transmission bike a couple years ago (XO), i shifted through the gears in the stand and was like “is this it?” It seemed slow and a bit clunky. But, when I took it out on my first...

7/19/2026 11:21am The rider currently leading the Men’s elite Overall EDR is on a Belt driven high pivot gearbox bike. Interesting times we are in.

7/17/2026 11:19am 32" Procaliber (hardtail) and Superfly (full suspension). Both will come in 5 sizes, not releasing until 2027 is what I heard.
