I’d love to see a shoot out of trail bikes using the same linkage designs. It would really interesting to start to dig a bit deeper as to what sets them apart - quality control, kinematics, maintenance, etc etc.

That shipment of revolts was pretty heartbreaking for everyone at evil that day….. The bike itself was nothing short of brilliant imho, at the time of 26inch dh racing bikes, combined with Dave Weagle, Thomas, and Stevie? The marketing, the design AND THE SWEET RIDE, man that bike was something. I think that’s a really good second try, aluminum MX...

Very nice. It’s just, like, soooo nice. Niceness. The white powder white coil ? TIMELESS. Maybe white rims wood have been a bit much….

Then the tyre would hit the lower crown at full compression. Extending the lowers is the correct way to do it.

Miss those days. Enduro was the hottest shit, clothes were semi baggy and not skin tight, no ebikes… ah yes, beautiful times.

Eeww! I got a pretty good one for you. So I'm converting my old homemade 26" DH bike to 27.5" to give to a friend's son. (If the son ever gets it away from his father...) It's a second gen Santa Cruz Bullit swing arm on a steel front end. It's got modern geometry from before it's time. The drawing says "Atherton style." because they were the only ones doing long, low and slack at the time. I'm just making new bolt on dropouts to fit the bigger wheels and we'll put a 27.5" fork on it. So today I...

Did you guys see my new green bike? It’s so dope. 3.00 minions are very much a radical trail experience - mounting them on the old Stans Hugo 52 was proving pretty shit lately, pulling and pulling. And wrestling and I just could not for the life of me get them around the rim wall….. it’s a wide rim and...

"10 Years Raaw" sounds more like a special edition paint job than a new bike, but fingers crossed for an XXL downcountry bike.

Mug’s and replacement units for older e-bikes is actually fucking dope to combine. Kinda figured someone would jump to offer a upgraded motor for old e-bikes, like a smaller TQ unit could be made to fit backward compatible, but going all in on a gearbox and making the whole system serviceable is actually making your clanky-clackattity old Shimano bike relevant...
