1/9/2024 10:07am Crazy. And like others said, there are just as many "small" builders. I recently got a custom steel hardtail built by Neuhaus Metal Works. He's doing so well with his frames that he recently had to move to a bigger shop.

When I was younger I wanted the loudest hubs possible, back then it was Hope Pro's, which I had on a few wheel sets. I used to run those suckers dry so you could hear me coming from a mile away. When I got my 1st set of I9 hubs I thought it was as good as it gets, until I did a 20+ minute descent with a lot of coasting. My riding buddies were ready to throw my bike off the mountain when we got to the bottom. My next wheelset after the I9's had Onyx hubs, so one...

1/8/2024 2:23pm I have so many questions: "Holistic Pivot system" Zip ties holding the chainstay protectors Do I need a socket wrench to remove the shock? Are those grease fittings? Is that a 26" rear wheel?

1/7/2024 10:46am I saw the dreadnoughts on sale, but that's too much bike for what I'm riding. I'm getting ready to sell my 2021 Enduro frame because it's too much bike, I love it on big mountain stuff, it was a blast in Pisgah and Kingdom trails but despite how good it pedals, 170mm is only fun for about 3 minutes out...

1/7/2024 8:39am With the teases of the HP Optic, I have a question for those of you who have High Pivot experience. I'm HP curious, but my local trails which I ride 90% of the time, aren't the most technical. I mostly ride my 120mm single-speed hardtail or my Epic Evo, but I usually take 3-4 trips a year to "real mountains"...

matmattmatthew Added a reply to Vital MTB Bike of the Year
12/28/2023 3:13pm Glad to hear someone else come to the same realization as myself. I used to race DH and Enduro but in the last year or so I've found much more enjoyment out of doing longer adventure-type rides from my house. I've done them a few of them on my Single Speed and my geared bikes. I built up an Epic...

11/27/2023 6:25am Anyone have a guess what Push is teasing on Instagram? Apparently "A new approach to rear suspension" will be released tomorrow.

I did this for about a year with my first AXS post, which partially helped me justify the price. I got a 30.9 post which fit my Full Suspension bike, my Single Speed hardtail is 34.9 so I bought a shim from Cane Creek and it worked perfectly. I ultimately bought a second AXS dropper because I was constantly having to adjust the angle of the saddle during rides, the different seat tube angles, and the fact that one was a hardtail and one was a full suspension. #firstworldproblems

11/14/2023 8:57am https://www.pinkbike.com/news/sram-patent-shows-smarter-built-in-shockw… I knew this one coming, it felt like Shockwiz and Flight Attendant were both Proof of Concept products before they would be combined and integrated into suspension products. Going out on a limb here...I could see the future of this tied to your Garmin/GPS computer, the same way I download Routes from RidewithGPS or Trail Forks and load them...
matmattmatthew Added a reply to what kind of brake pads to use front vs back
11/1/2023 2:45pm Metallic front and rear on all my bikes for the last 10 years. Even my XC and Singlespeed bikes. I recently bought an Epic evo and did a couple of rides and thought the brakes were absolute trash, then I had the thought to check the pads and sure enough they were organic. I swapped them out for Metallic and...

10/27/2023 7:57am Fun thread. -I was up really early on the 2nd day of practice at the US Open one year, I was walking through the pits and saw Monk Dawg (R.I.P) unloading/setting up the Trek pits by himself. I asked if he'd like some help and he waved me over, after I was done he said thanks and walked over to...

Virtually every shop I have ever been in: “We don’t have that at the moment, but we can order it for you.” I can order it too, and it’ll come straight to my house. I’m going to install it myself anyway regardless of where it was purchased. Why would I make a second trip? Complete bikes are the same. I’m going to go over your build with a fine tooth comb, so why wouldn’t I just build it myself from the get-go. I don’t understand people arguing so hard to support brick and mortar just because that is the long...

They should have gone All-in and repurposed old gripshifts as throttles.
