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.

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.

As long as there are tacos around is all good. You can't go wrong with tacos, even bad tacos are better than no tacos. Bikes are just bonus items for tacos.

This is why I probably won't ever buy a complete e-bike - I want to slap on a bunch of CUES parts, coil suspension plus DH wheels and tires, so a bare/minimal frame makes much more sense. I see no reason to drop $15k on a carbon bike with XTR/XX/Factory/Ultimate when I'll be stripping those parts off for something more practical and less expensive.

5/31/2026 12:23pm You can really tell with the delay that they're announcing off site. They're always a moment or move behind where Rob and team would explode in the moment that something happened if what they were watching. It takes the enjoyment out of it almost completely. When Gracey hit the hole in that corner and almost lost it, she's recovered and...

5/24/2026 4:43pm The service "light" is already there. Most brands allow any shop to set their own service intervals and most bikes will have a wrench or error code show up on their display, showing that they need to bring the bike in for service. You can set it to time frame or amount of kilometers ridden, so you could have different...

I'm sure you'll get lots of opinions on this. I switched last year from 29er to mullet. Initially there were some moves on local tech climbs I struggled to make on the mullet but then I think I adapted... On the one hand rollover is worse but on the other hand if you do get hung up it's less effort to get things rolling again.
