rich.gardiner Started a new thread 7 Speed DH Drivetrain Cross Compatibility - SRAM shifters with TRP Derailleur?
7/8/2026 2:39am Hi guys, Has anyone managed to test if the SRAM X0 / GX 7-speed shifters work nicely with the TRP DH7 EVO derailleurs? I'm struggling with the feel of the TRP shifter, way prefer the SRAM one, probably what I'm used to. Thanks in advance

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

6/18/2026 1:12pm about to pull the trigger on some maven A1 calipers to use with my xtr m9120 levers For those using the BH90 hose & banjo, are you using the saint hoses (gold banjo) or just the regular bh90 with silver? Regular Shimano o-rings that come with the banjo all good to use? What banjo bolt is best to use for...

6/16/2026 1:20pm Looks like Burgtec have done those custom MX dropouts for Kolb - it would be awesome if something that allows for UDH comes out further down the line

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.
