New GX cranks on Ben Cathros story - being built up onto Santa Cruz’s going for sale, meaning we can’t be far off the GX launch

Observed this lever going to the new “code” caliper on a bike belonging to a Sram tech. Bleed port clearly states mineral oil

In college, I lived relatively close to Cane Creek's HQ when the original double barrel was created. I was fortunate enough to ride with a bunch of riders that were the first to get the shock, at that time North Carolina had multiple National Champions in DH and Slalom and they were all running the DB. Gerritt Beytagh even had a one-off itty bitty DB on his slalom bike. Ohlins US headquarters is in Hendersonville NC which is about 20 minutes from Cane Creek's HQ in Fletcher. I also seem to remember that Luca Shaw's dad worked for Ohlins USA...

Please let's just move on from the crank drama. I'm sure both sides have learned from the experience. It's Sea Otter now; let's see some spicy tech rumor shots

They DID offer Cam a refund or warranty replacement (to the DH/Freeride spec) though! Cam is one of those customers that is impossible to please. And made it worse by publicising the entire thing as he went along. 5Dev are right to get rid of him and focus on sorting out their other customers. 5Dev should have handled it better but I believe in this particular instance Cam would've behaved like a self-entitled child anyway. As for the other instagram example that's been posted here, the person said "Andrew strikes again! I don't know a single soul that destroys more...

Cor, this price point rumours thread is riveting guys.

$1499 would be a STEAL. I'm going near double that easy. $2699

But this looks so easy to work on!

cables thru headset meh

New Propain Tyee

I can’t imagine anyone would actually sell the volume of cranks that these guys are trying to sell in a country as litigious as the USA without going through a lengthy design and testing process. You guys think you’re tough on people’s ideas? Between insurance carriers and lawyers these guys wouldn’t have have survived this long without doing some basic FEA… and then more testing than I can imagine. It’s not worth continuing to guess at what we think the problem is. I come here for some good tech rumors…

Jesse Melamed whatcha hiding? We’ve already seen it all… or have we???

I was out shooting the Oceania Champs this weekend which Richie won by 4 seconds and 2nd was Sam Hill. Interesting setup by the looks of things, chainstay is attached to a link that goes through the frame.

I'm sure the new Forbidden flipped Horst-link (or whatever it is) functions better, but it definitely takes a hit aesthetically.

Sadly that's probably a niche joke since a lot of people born after 2000 will never read a book with an appendix

I've got to say I've always expected a new Code caliper to pop up that does the same thing as ours. Hasn't happened yet. Kind of funny considering it's specifically designed to work with Sram parts you can find in bike shops. Whatever this new Sram brake is will determine the future of our Code caliper. I think the upper limit on brake power will be set by what is a reasonable amount of pad retract. I can't foresee people being okay with pad rub all the time so I don't think pad retract can get much less that what...
