I don’t even know if that will happen! But if I had to make a rumor, it would be that Cascade is going to make a 170 mm Tallboy link. *this may have happened at one point due to a CAD software glitch

[edit: quoted, but this is not meant in response to any previous post or user in particular] As someone who designs and manufactures aftermarket components to upgrade 'big suspension' put me on the record in their defense. I think they actually do a remarkable job at what is really an impossible task. Imagine designing something within the small confines of an MTB fork and the accepted dimensional standards. Make it light enough and cheap enough for what the market demands at retail and OEM. Manufacture and assemble it at massive scale to acceptably high QC standards, align dozens of critical...

So about a month ago I published my data logger design, latest version, which I'm calling the BODAQS A8. The hardware design and software are both open-source and can be used freely, including commercially, without restriction. I've also been selling PCBs and kits through the build website and have almost sold out the first batch, including to a couple of people on this forum. Thank you for the support and feedback :-) I'm continuing to develop the software and have some big plans. The most recent release added suspension phase diagrams, and I'm working on IMU (accelerometer) support. The latest...

Aight, i'mma head out. No bikes left.

Never let making brakes get in the way of a nice Chianti

Thread revival : TPU test report for the 3D print nerds amongst us. Bambu's 'TPU for AMS' is really good. 68d, shiny and slippery like PLA but with some 'squish', you can control that with walls and infill too. I like 5 walls, 40% infill. But don't use that earlier model I shared for TPU, New version distributes the loads better on the softer material. I'll share v3 on makerworld when I remember to take some photos.

Whistler parking lot 1 reporting in - I just saw @Jason_Schroeder roll past on a very production looking norco DH race bike 🤘

Why? do you not like the unwanted attention?

Don't just base sizing off of XL vs XXL as a lot can be just marketing. When you cross reference geo charts, you'll find XL's from some brands that are bigger than XXL's from other brands.

Commencal quietly dropped the Tempo "V2" with the only revision being they got rid of the headset cable routing. (praise be!)

To make that XL Trek 32" fit me, I'd need about an 80mm positive stem and 50mm riser bars. I know there aren't that many people who are 6'6"+, but surely there are more of them than there are 5'2" people who would actually buy that bike, right?

The link loaded for a second but I can't access it anymore. Man, that thing was hideous. I love the chainstay length but they can keep everything else, especially the 32s. Give us that f/r ratio on a 29er!
