Yeah, go ahead and put a 29 x 2.3 tire on a 700c road bike. Hell go try to put a 45C tire on a road bike. Hell some road bikes won’t even clear a 32. I don’t know what the hell you guys are trying to say but you’re wrong and it has nothing to do with the fact that 32 inch wheels are than 29. If you are a racer there is no chance in hell that you are going to leave speed on the table. Our sport will continue to evolve so long as people keep racing...

I clicked that video for a laugh and a trip down memory lane, but yo Laurie is straight up destroying on that old bike and flat pedals. Super impressive and entertaining riding on any bike. RIPPING.

Brembo's decision to not fill the brakes because "they don't do that for car brakes" is the most Italian reasoning I can think of, so I would fully believe that

Back in my day we used to tie onions to our belts, it was the style at the time.

This has me way more excited than any other product launched this week.

How many of us would have instantly paid $350 to have this when we were balls deep on the first CC install 🤣

sounds like 5 underutilized support resources to me

I’ve had t4v4 with and without mod T4e4 with mod t4tr4 with mod Tech evo GR4 with normal and power lever T4v4 has light lever pull When paired with the bearing it has a slightly sharper bite point GR4 feels the best to me, a tad less modulation and harder lever pull, partially fixed with the power lever I ran the power lever with the bite point contact half in so get the levers close to the bar, that’s where it feels the best to me V4 calipers are noisy for whatever reason, same with the e4 Tr and gr...

So, to preface what I'm about to say is that I am not anti-e-bike and that I'm ready for the downvotes. I don’t disagree that adding a motor is a huge innovation; my point is more about where the innovation energy is going and how uneven it feels right now. When I say “analog bikes lack innovation,” I don’t mean there’s none. Things like improved materials, better tolerances, frame designs, wireless shifting, etc. are all real advancements. But compared to the explosive pace of e-bike development, it feels like the entire industry’s R&D gravity has shifted dramatically toward electrification and...

Interesting read and some good thoughts here. Im not really the target audience Since I do all my own service, More because I cant help myself - I like to understand how things work and how to get the longest life from a product I spent money on, as a bonus It's quite fun and Takes up some of my Free time, which I luckily seem to be in excess of. Now, I have been caught busy before some Events especially during summer, so I have dropped my Bike/s at the shop/s in the past(or for warranty work eek) It...

Hello! I admit I have seen the ”Shimano Reports Bike Maintenance a Hidden Barrier to Participation” title on the home page and I got curious. I didn't read the entire thing, nor did I read all the comments here, as I don't have time right now (but I will make some time to read), so excuse me, but I feel the urge to say something. From my understanding, Shimano is whining that in Europe people are cycling less, because bike maintenance is hindering them. Did I understand right? If yes, than I find Shimano to be at least a bit...

I have designed a 40mm rise, 25mm reach for 35 handlebars for my 29" modified Intense M9 not long ago😜 I do it for the love of the game, maybe we can work together on something? We can end up designing something custom and having it made there in the land of the free (?)

Absolute game changer. Imagine producing a new alloy bar and stem combo and not going 31.8mm🤦‍♂️

Now it all makes sense!

Just do a custom Vital Crab World Racing jersey. I'd spend 50$ on one of those

In honor of the 1000th page, we should vote on the best meme of 2025: 👍🏻 for “Crab” 👎🏻 for “6-7” edit: Carcinization is the antithesis of innovation. Maybe we should keep crab talk on the crab talk forum and keep this thread focused on MTB tech rumors and/or innovation.

I think for those not as in tune with skateboarding they're kinda missing... The context. Phelps is the type of asshole that people tend to refer as "our asshole". He was not 'nice' and he was never attempting to mislead people into thinking so. Quite the opposite. He made it as known as possible that he is polarizing, and that skateboarding itself is polarizing. THAT SAID... He wasn't quite 'going out of his way' to specifically ruin someone's day. He is not evil. He is basically the end game level of core lord. The absolute apotheosis of lot lizard. He's...

Bizutch standing right here waiting for permission to go off on a rant... "Mountain biking doesn't owe you shit... Mountain biking owes you a front tire washout right before a rock garden. YOU OWE MOUNTAIN BIKING."
