Last week Berd announced that they'd broken the record for the lightest XC production wheel from a major manufacturer, with their HAWK30 Gold weighing in at 1022 grams for the set (without tape and valves). Now NOBL has raised (or is that lowered?) the bar again, with today's launch of their all-new Ethos series. These new wheels also use Berd spokes up to and including the enduro wheels, with the super-light Ethos SL180 set weighing in at 933 grams (both the Berd and the NOBL wheels feature 30mm internal width carbon rims).

Chris King hubs used to really be something......

When I owned a Levo 3, I got a spherical eyelet bushing for the front of the shock to try and reduce loads on it from the yoke. This had an unexpected consequence that I didn't recognize the connection on until after I sold it: I could not keep the bearings in the seatstay pivot from unseating because the frame design relied on the stiffness of the shock to keep the rear end aligned. It was so bad that I could unseat them on demand with 1 hard cutty. I'm never buying a yoke-driven bike again.

A Vital MTB Tech Rumors contributors and enjoyers meetup would be a secret society event I would be fired up to show up to. Somewhere like Whistler in the summer or an apres sea otter. It could be fully unofficial to uninvolve the legal teams of the vital overlords. We could make a partiful and t shirts. All would be merry. Core lords could flex. I would go.

Minnaar 17 questions. He answers about running the Bosch anti-lock system Questions asked 1. How many times have you asked Jordi for setup advice at the FOX camp you’re at? 2. Since you’re retired and all, what percentage of your rides are on an ebike now instead of a pedal bike? 3. Loic basically said that 29-inch wheels arriving in DH saved your career and helped you earn more titles. Thoughts? 4. Do you think you’ve earned more money than Loic? 5.

I would be so much more keen to use DVO products if they moved away from the lime green ano and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Looks like a pistachio 38 ltd.

Are you guys actually arguing about if a guy that works at a different website reviewing stuff is cool or not? 🤣

Spoken like a boomer core lord. That’s what the viral forums seem to have become though. Dario is actually a breath of fresh air in mountain bike media, same as Jason. His perspective is a welcome change from the usual safe, generic industry takes the rest of the media recycles time and time again.

Considering that we've got the Marz Shiver, the Manitou Dorado, and the Rockshox RS-1, the statement is completely stupid whatever way you want to swing it.

Not knowing the price of something on release day and he doesn’t just make it up? Crazy. He’s basically a dirtbag rider that crushes out the vert and miles. He’s more one of us than most of us are…

Get ready to have your mind blown: German speakers “drive” skis (and bikes).
