We are one hubs look like they’re on the way. Reminds me of the old 90s Nukeproof hubs with the carbon shell.

Hey, yes these are from CounterShox. the blue one on the fork is straight off the moto bike. I tested on my Yamaha 450 first and then had to try on DH bike. I knew it would have a bigger effect. The mount is off a 85cc dirt bike, they have the same diameter clamp as dorado. The one mounted to the seattube is lighter, about 1lb. I 3D printed a mount so it doesn’t rub again the frame. These TMD are not adjustable, from talking to the folks at CounterShox, they have put so much R&D into weights, springs...

Still unsure how I feel about you picking this photo for the thumbnail 😂

Sexual. You're feeling sexual about it. That stirring in your loins means you've finally blossomed in to womanhood. Congratulations!

Pretty sure that’s a Brain

Similar product, spotted at the Snow Summit National last weekend behind someone's van. Asked and he said they work great, exactly as intended. We compared notes about how blown away we both were the first time riding a heavy ebike through choppy rough stuff. The front one is apparently an off-the-shelf moto product that fits a Dorado upper leg without modifications. And yes, these are definitely suspended mass dampers. Sadly, this bike needed a steering damper and hand guards to win bike tech bingo.

Got to be a suspended mass damper,. similar to the thing rimpact have been developing for the steerer tube.

world champs pit bits video. what is this thing???

Layout and exact numbers aside, there really isn’t anything that sets it apart from a Kona. Both are linkage driven single pivots so leverage ratio can be tuned independent of axle path, anti-squat, and anti-rise. But with both, like any single pivot, once you pick pivot placement, axle path, anti-squat, and anti-rise are set in stone. Exact shape of the leverage curve might vary a little for better or worse with either. With a linkage like what’s on Konas, it’s harder to get off in the weeds you tuning leverage curve, but how much you can tune a leverage curve...

I've been considering a steel full suspension frame from a small builder for my next FS bike. It's been a long time since I've been so intrigued by a bike as I am that Apogee.

That would make a ton of sense. Looks like September is going to be a big month for this threadh! Regarding the Troy, FWIW, I was told the color ways are going to be Silver and "Matcha". The matcha color can already be seen on the chainSaw on their website site. Alloy frame with In frame storage, welded in Canada, that's going to differentiate them nicely

A release from Shimano? New Saint for world champs? Di2 XTR?

I think mechanical t-type is inevitable. There is a schematic for frames on the UDH website that includes a cable stop. Posted a pic of it months ago. I can try to find it again when I get back to my computer.

2 rumors, 1 leading to another... Part of it might have been discussed previously, but I couldn't find any references in the thread. Devinci is launching a new Troy, sometime in September. There staff openly talk about it. Made of aluminum only, welded in Canada, with frame storage, will have mullet capabilities. Rear travel goes to 150, with 160 fork. Reach is growing about 5 mm. All SRAM builds. Top one with GX AXS t-type. The less expensive build are NX. This release has been pushed back by more then 6 months now. Shop employees are saying there is an...

Just feels different. Like we are all welcome to our opinions, but that doesnt make them right, certinally doesnt make them right for someone else. You might like Shimano brakes, I might prefer SRAM, doesnt make you right and me wrong, or vice versa....just differing opinions. And contrary to what American popular media would have you believe, it doesnt mean that we cant get along. bikes are cool, and thats rad

Who was asking about making ebikes lighter?
