4/12/2026 12:10am Is that the new Saint brake, just the caliper has been machined down more from the other proto calipers? The proto had bottom loading pads

3/21/2026 11:07pm The tacky chan gravity pro I ordered the other week on Bikeinn keeps getting its delivery window pushed back, so I'm assuming it's the new tyre Saying 25-31 March now Please hurry up 😬🙏 these shreddas are so sketchy now the trails are dry 😂

3/15/2026 10:45pm They have some "gravity pro" options on there which are listed as 2.4 🤔 a gravity pro is their radial casing isn't it? I've taken a punt and ordered a gravity pro soft 27.5 x 2.4 last week, shipping status hasn't changed for a while though so maybe it is the new tyre. Bikeinn are known for publishing unreleased products...

3/7/2026 1:51pm First ride on shreddas today (running a shredda rear on both front and rear wheels) Super draggy and too aggressive now the ground is getting firmer going into the spring - squirms a bit on the hard pack and quite a bit over roots and rocks Would be awesome in steep loam with the braking and deeper tread, but will...

3/4/2026 1:30am Anyone in the know (or Schwalbai) have an idea of when we'll actually see Tacky chan / big betty in radial? What's taking so long?

2/19/2026 12:30am When do we think the new Saint will actually be released? With SRAM's DH Transmission being ~ 5 days away now, surely Shimano are going to have to go and release it some time this year? Most of the new XTR testing seemed to happen under wraps but more and more of the top level Shimano riders seem to be...

1/5/2026 1:13pm Also just seen this on Andy Kolb's instagram - what's that silver part in front of the rear caliper?

1/5/2026 9:48am Anyone able to narrow down a bit more for the release date for the radial tacky chan? Will they be doing a big betty radial too? Would love to have either of these as a rear tyre to help with rolling and braking compared to a radial magic mary on the rear. Going to try the shredda rear on front...

1/5/2026 9:46am Has anyone heard anything further yet on the new Saints? The protos seem to be cropping up on more bikes as opposed to just Jackson's bike halfway through the season.

rich.gardiner Started a new thread The Nukeproof comeback thread
10/22/2025 1:46am Starting this as there was some good discussion in the Team Rumours 2026 thread but it was obviously getting off topic a bit Mods - can you move the posts from that thread into here? What would you love to see coming back from nukeproof in terms of products, riders, team etc? A couple of products I'd love to see...

rich.gardiner Added a reply to DH Bike: 29er 148mm-rear end and a water bottle, does this exists?
10/9/2025 11:41pm Orbea Rallon - I think if you convert it into the enduro mode you can run full 29 but as a dh mode it's mixed wheels Water bottle, frame storage, 148 rear end, super adjustable, 2 bikes in one
rich.gardiner Added a reply to Feedback Wanted: Strava-Like Racing App
8/20/2025 5:27am Not strictly racing related but a shuttle / uplift / bikepark mode would be great where it doesn't record uphill segments. It's a pain trying to remember to stop & start your watch again for each descent so it doesn't record the uphills (strava throws a hissy fit saying you're in a vehicle and therefore shows no segment times). I...
