Attention tech nerds! I'm currently out at Sea Otter Europe, working on the coverage from today, I figured I'd drop this here for you guys - KYB is coming to MTB! The upside-down fork shown here should be available as of November. It's got a few cool features, like the ability to run it in 27 or 29 configuration by sliding the fork legs up and down in the crowns (because the crowns are bolted on)! It's a coil fork, but it also has an air pre-load system in which you can run between 6 to 9 psi of air...

Odd design choice to have adjustable legs on a single crown IMO. Very small sector of 27.5 front wheeled bikes these days…

In the same interview he says they've been trying to figure out why it happened, and nerve damage from a crash in Val di sole is a theory. For those who speak la langue de molière or wanna machine translate:

Commencal quietly dropped the Tempo "V2" with the only revision being they got rid of the headset cable routing. (praise be!)

Speaking of prototypes, in the vital pit bits the Santa Cruz mechanic dished out a ton of new Saint details. 12spd chain, 8spd microspline cassette. Must be close to release...

I shudder to think what that nicolai weighs, my XL Range VLT is 30kg and it's a huuuuuge bitch. I have to put an event in my calendar to eat pasta and pre workout if I want to try a manual or bunnyhop on the weekend.

It's cool to see Manitou on a stock build.

Is WR1 still made in Canada? I recently got a new rim that replaces "made in Canada" with "North American made". Stoked on the actual rim and warranty,but I'd hate to see it move production down to the reich

Just found an unlisted Telum video embedded on a customer facing website (sorry Steve). Might be interesting.

Anyone else feel like the rumored Loris to Commencal would be boring?

on the Cyclingnews piece about hims 2 days ago, they said he might ride SCOTT on the road, but Pinarello for the XCO as a privateer/britishcycling. or he might join Scott-Sram and ride Scott but I think Nino would prefer he stays out of it 2025 is: the last contract year of Scott with Q36.5 and the last contract year of Pina with Ineos. and Glasenberg owns Pinarello. so...
