Read that... Definitely Interesting stuff that really deserves some details.. Especially with Swamp Donkey, I mean Sea Otter, coming up.. Get the name out there now so people are looking for you guys there.. If it wasn't for LinkedIn, I wouldn't have a name to put with those images and what to look for if I was able to go...

Any open-house days in Vermont?

Can’t remember the frame I was working on, but it had aluminum pivot axles with a thru-bolt. The bolt broke, and then it was really hard to get the aluminum pivots out because it was just a round hole where the bolt was. They would’ve been much easier to rotate out of the frame with a hex like you implemented…

Avinox is over-hyped. This new Oso is just about ideal as a non-ebike owner. It seems to be very thoughtfully designed. My only hangup is the price ($2k more than the old one). I still hope they do an SL version. Also, I think the modular dropouts bode well for the next HD6. I heard a rumor that will be dual 29. Or will it be the HD7? 6... 7? hmm.

David , maybe because you are just posting pics with little to no context?

Make elevated chainstays great again

It's been all but fully revealed by the sleuths already, but here's the officially official word on the new Nomad: https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/2027-santa-cruz-nomad-here.

This. The energy dissipated is the same, the time doing it is different. If you have more flex (or more crumple zone), the distance of deceleration is longer. If the starting speed and end speed of this deceleration are the same, the average (and usually peak) deceleration are lower if the duration is longer. That's what gets you on the force front. Peak acceleration. F=m*a.

Did you ever consider the possibility they’re machined with a hex to facilitate removal after the bolt inside them is removed?

As a prototype it might be mirrored and the hex bolt heads are just on the other side

Personally I don’t think it’s cool when brands post their own stuff here if it’s not being discussed directly. The Cascade guy is great because he weighs in on the conversation but just dropping your stuff here when nobody is talking about it comes across as a bit of a lazy marketing strategy. Post it on instagram and if people think it’s interesting it’ll get picked up. That being said it’s an awesome looking prototype!

The funny thing is... the garbage can is still the most important tool for cushcore install....

Billet trash can!

I've always though Cushcore was missing a good April 1 jab with green trash cans. Or honestly as a real promo most shops would take a green trash bin. #realorfake
