New brand ambassador announcement from Tektro/TRP: Haßloch / Changhua - February 1, 2026 - 2026 is a very special year for Tektro / TRP, and we’re excited to start it with great news: Jasper Jauch joins the Tektro / TRP family as our new brand ambassador. This partnership comes at the perfect moment. Tektro celebrates its 40th anniversary, while TRP marks 20 years of performance-driven innovation. Two milestones, one shared vision - and a strong reason to look ahead together. Founded in 1986, Tektro has always stood for reliable, innovative braking systems and drivetrain components. What started as a specialist...

Chainstay talk again... This is why we can't have nice things

I think 2 Chainz might be more efficient than a high pivot idler setup. The small chain has excellent wrap and chain line so it really wouldn't be much efficiency loss, leaving you with a normal drive train (assuming the chain line isn't much worse because of it).

Pivot have said previously all prototypes will be carbon. So unless Pivot is coming out with an AL option, I don't see this being a Pivot.

i think it's time that you guys start a new dedicated "i hate BK" thread. would spare us all of that nonsense, thx

Is it even a pivot prototype? The links and hardware look all wrong to me. Who else does DW work with? Is it a DaVinci or something ?

Dialed was fantastic with all of it, the stories, the editing, and all around fun by Shaffer, and Jake. Killer work. It is sorely missed, and a shame that Fox shut it down. It was the essence of the World Cup week. One day I hope it makes a comeback.

MFR ditching Ethirteen wheels for DT Swiss? From Ronan’s story.

The rumor I was told was that every Maven lever is getting a retooling of the “swing link”, since they got so much guff for having a heavy lever feel. If anybody in here has put hands on the latest 13 speed road and gravel stuff, you’ll know Sram can achieve an extremely light lever throw. In other brake rumors, I’ve been told the other S company that makes brakes is ditching Ice Tech, going 2.2mm thick rotors, and abandoning 203mm sizing. Also, that bleed block you’ve been bleeding your 8220 brakes with? It’s wrong. It’s meant for the thicker...

Its an interesting one with Bernard and sort of the hate around him, even if he is a lot different off camera obviously he’s still well respected and good to be on a team with otherwise i’d say a lot of the long term riders on PFR wouldn’t have renewed contracts and all that. Just my thoughts.

Not gonna lie the clipless Sambas go pretty hard.

Updated Zeb also (technically not DH). Another speculated possibility is upgrade kit for Maven SLV/ULT to install the Base cam system. People have noted that some of the pros had a gold colored cam in their Mavens vs. the red one that comes in the retail.

start a new freaking thread if you want to talk about that stuff.

Although the PFR team looks more relaxed than other factory teams, it does not make them a bad team. Sure, it is not a big factory team with a big budget, but they have their system that works for them and had some pretty good seasons in the past - 2023 and 2024 were pretty good. I think the addition of Dylan and a fired up Roger Viera is going to elevate this team and make them more competitive. Dylan is going to do great at PFR!

Also interested to see what this new Burgtec bar is being made for Frameworks team. I am assuming less backsweep like Renthals have always had. we shall see

I heard Trump is trying to buy him....

Looks stoked
