Very nice race build! Don't pass on Specialized tires,they are very good. Fast Trak front with Air Trak rear is a great combo for hardpack,or Ground Control F,Fast Trak rear if it's loose.

Hey all, I can finally take off my very sneaky blue tape camouflage to reveal that yes, I’m reviewing the new Nomad. Because I’ve spent so many years on the old Megatower, I’m framing this as a Megatower vs. Nomad comparison. Especially interesting for me because of the rumors that the Megatower is going away and the new Nomad does not take 29” rear wheels.

4/7/2026 7:11am Nice to see the Lyrik doing 170 again! I still have an older model with air shafts from 130 to 180, it never says no to a party

4/3/2026 2:14am 32'' seems like an overly elaborate plan to revive super boost :D Either way, very interesting stuff by Newmen.

3/21/2026 1:06pm I'm a big fan! Have both a XD and Microspline version and only seen some more considerable wear after a few months on a SL ebike. Never seen any discounts though.

At least they haven’t devolved into a discussion of if Dario’s chainstay is the right length.

2/19/2026 10:39pm I'm a big fan of his. Round 2 of the Roundabout Epic or the TransMcDrive is something a brand should definitely support :D

I can speak to clothing as I run a tiny MTB apparel brand, Abit Gear. The short story is that for USA brands, tariffs are making it a royal PITA and covid saw a glut of inventory that isn't yet cleared. Sure, margins are good on paper, but you have a SKU problem with apparel do to size and color variants, you have to carry a lot of aged inventory, and fight discounting from competitors more than with hard goods. For technical apparel, China is, by far, the best quality. Most of the technical apparel factories are in China. They...

If Dak goes to Scott, they better make him one of those stupid integrated stem / bar combos with 75 mm rise. And then run the brake cables through it just to stay on message.

@rodrigomorais Haha, good one! No, truly, these words mean a lot to us. That's also what we're doing this for! It's great to know that people are appreciating the effort we put into trying to make our products sustainable and user friendly instead of cranking out one iteration after the other just to create that fear of missing out. Of course we do want to sell new posts (and we need to), but it's so much more rewarding, hearing people tell us that their BikeYoke dropper (particularly the Revive) is that one thing they take from bike to bike. I...
