Cast went live now with their lineup of stems and handlebars. Strong list of riders on their rooster, but probably the least innovative new mtb company i`ve seen. Anyone up for a "38mm!!! high rise" handlebar? Read all about it: https://castmtb.com/

I feel like this happened before with Trickstuff and a Chinese company 🧐 now it’s Hope’s turn https://www.instagram.com/dnisbrakes?igsh=MW9tMndjdnkwN3I1cA== Or should I say Dnis brakes “better than Hope” as they claim on the comments Using the tech evo levers and the “v4 pro max” caliper

Actually, SRAM t-type AXS is a heavier, more expensive UDH specific drivetrain when compared to regular AXS and mechanical. While I haven’t conducted a global bike brand part spec inventory, it appears to me, that most wireless shifting equipped bikes are coming with UDH specific t-type AXS. This is exactly the reason why SRAM got everyone they could on board with UDH. To launch this specific drivetrain….and that drive train is heavier and more expensive. I would argue that my point does compute.

I feel like there's been a bunch of speculation already, but looks like WAO officially confirmed they're no longer making Arrival's. On the other site, the Kamloops Trails Fundraiser, WAO makes it clear that the Arrival they are giving away is the last one they ever made. Raffle Mania — Kamloops Bike Riders Association (KBRA)

The looks will take some time to grow on you imo…and some might mistaken your forks for one from Manitou

I think the big news is Downamics is the official UK agent for countershox. Oh and the brake setup is a carbon tube and a crf hose guide. I asked 😅

is the mechanic wearing a paper bag!?

From Tahnee's insta: feels like the bike's coming soon...

Can't wait to spend another $1000 in tools just because they decided to change a bolt pattern or a diameter somewhere for no reason.

No, Pinion was started by two ex Porsche engineers.

Any ideas?

of note, I dont think of them as fad bikes, Just grinding your gears from a while back when you eluded to HP idler bikes being fad bikes.....

Looks like Trek is testing updated rear end for the session. Seatstay could be carbon or just painted? Maybe new pivot location or idler location? Machined rocker link

I hope this is on topic - But since it was news from this week. Just got the OneUp pedals delivered. Some pics and size comparison to Saints for anyone that has been contemplating them. They are very similar in size, I would say maybe 5% smaller overall platform. Tried to "dry" clip them in to my Fox Union shoes, but the pins are quite high, and the clip mechanism seems quite hard (From my experience shimano is the same, and it takes a bit for them to "break in) - So I could not clip them in by hand...

@Spomer, can we please deviate the toe-clip topic to another thread, and make it in a slightly bigger default font?

Scott can get fucked.

Forgive me if it’s mentioned before and I missed it. Supposedly the new Scott Gambler was spotted (sorry it’s in German) https://www.mtb-news.de/news/scott-gambler-prototyp-2025/
