the ultimate in pedal kick back elimination! seriously though, they have to be fun on a DH bike, don't they?

And Veronica Widmann

A little bit of contrast and image levelling and it’s super clear. Yeti nailed down.

I'll stick to Horst link. Gotta take a loan out to do a full bearing job on that 😅 Very cool stuff though. I saw their belt drive stuff when the Gates guys were out at Outerbike Crested Butte earlier this year.

that's freaking sweet! here's a blown up detail from that pic. lots going on, eh?

New aluminum dh/freeride bike from Chromag? From Max Grayston in his latest IG post. Looks like it has a pretty similar rocker and same rear dropout as the Lowdown. https://www.instagram.com/p/DFNkX6CpPg5/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share…

Looks like the new X2 is almost production ready.

When I was shopping for my short travel bike the headset routing on the Tempo took it right out of the running for me, shame cause that Ohlins build looks like a hell of a bike otherwise.

Orbea taking a step back from headset cable routing is a bigger deal to me than their DH bike! I was one click from ordering a Wild, but after seeing the heaset in the flesh and reading the horrendous reports on forums I just couldn't do it. They quite litterally have the worst headset routing implementation (knockblock that breaks and knocks your spacers out, dedicated spacers + dedicated stem, need to disconnect your brake hose to get rid of all that stuff and mount an adaptor for a regular stem, horrendous looking cable angles to get into the headset no...

Enduro-MTB mag is in such a weird spot, and I don’t really trust their reviews. They used to like very conservative geometry for a while, then a year or two years later when reviewing the same bike that they complained about being too long or too slack against a field of new competitors it was now fine. They also used to complain about bikes being too heavy, then two sentences later the lighter tires are way too prone to puncture and every bike should come with DH casings. Their test riders are good from what I’ve seen, but their reviews...

And heard on the Geek Warning podcast a while back, the road team will be on Pinarello bikes for '26

in an alternate universe, there is a Guerilla Gravity DH team sponsored by Gorilla Glue

Loic posted this on his insta. Is he moving to Sellotape, 3M, Gorilla tape? Wild!

Looking at the Cast offering, it's just so random. A 35 mm diameter handlebar with either 35 mm or 38 mm rise and 8/5 or 9/6 degrees of sweep. Then a 28 mm rise bar with a 31,8 mm diameter and 9/6 degrees of sweep. I was kind of expecting them to only have one diameter of stem, but at least both options are covered. One length only though. Another peculiar thing is the fact that only the direct mount stem had an "EFBE certified" claim in the bullet points, the standard (EFX) stem and the handlebars do not. The...

for 2025 pidcock is racing scott road bikes for the q.36.5 team, but will be racing pinarello bikes from mtb (xco/xcc). edit to add some context - in this particular instance, the owner of the q36.5 team also has a controlling stake in pinarello.

So it is written in the book of Spomer
