8/2/2026 11:53pm I've been shopping around for clip shoes and pedals per my recent thread, and actually surprised at how slim the pickings are at a lot of the major retailers. Most of the stuff is full MSRP, but limited selection. When I looked for Mallet DH or EN LS pedals, they were surprisingly hard to find, and I was shocked that they were $200 now (when I last dabbled in clips, I remember I got a set of Mallets EN LS for like $110) with few color options in stock. HT cleats were hard to find. Shimano GE shoes - similar...

7/25/2026 8:14am I actually know exactly what you mean. Ever since I switched to Kryptotals, I know in 99% of conditions I have full confidence in my tire to the point I've kind of forgotten about them as a factor. But the DHF/DHR2 combo of the past would side of you pushed them, juuuust a little, but you knew where they'd hook...

7/25/2026 8:06am I realize that every situation and rider is different. You learn how a tire reacts and you ride accordingly. I’ve used a DHF for over 20 years as a front tire. Maybe longer. Many other designs have come and gone, but the DHF has persevered. I’ve tried other offerings, specifically the Assegai… This might sound weird, but I thought it was possibly too good. It made steering the bike boring. I couldn’t get a front wheel slide to happen. I actually enjoy that, and use it as a cornering method. You can actually feel what the tire is doing on...

7/23/2026 8:14pm I've had countless bikes, still chasing the dragon of my Ex Dean Lucas world champs wilsons rear suspension performance. There was so much trick stuff on that bike, coil converted world cup, proto 27.5 rear linkage. Dumbest move I ever made selling that bike

7/22/2026 5:00pm All i can confirm here is that it does not look like someone took a chainsaw to it, but they have not taken a spartan approch to the design. I think it's going to create a big bang when it drops.

7/21/2026 2:12pm I appreciate the hell out of this as I had a much more complex version of this mocked up for a bike park project and will now follow your lead.

7/20/2026 5:58pm I'm surprised Trek is diving in already, given that their last few launches haven't exactly seemed to stick like other option, even though they likely should have. I'm sure we'll all be interested to see if 32 takes off or whimpers. Not to beat a dead horse, but now having 6 months on a 29" XC bike for the first...

7/20/2026 12:13pm I'm not even sure I'd need two hands. Next someone will tell me they wash their pads and gloves. I figure when it starts to feel crusty, its time for a new one anyway.

6/22/2026 12:35am After 5 years of riding and living with Dominions on a daily basis I wouldn’t change a thing. Have to give Hayes credit for not following the lemmings and routing the hose next to the bar ‘because it looks cleaner but rattles’ like the two S’s

6/12/2026 12:32pm I have one of the Seekrun demo posts that they were handing out a few weeks ago on that tour they did on my Chisel to test right now. The top is tall because the actuator is in it, but over all it works really well. I tore it down before I put it on and added some more lube...

6/11/2026 8:46pm A properly supported Angel on a winning bike is someone who has been able cross the line in the green in the past. Angels had some rough luck over the years with weird team dynamics, teams folding, and injury. I'd love to see 2-3 seasons of that guy healthy and supported.
