12/23/2025 2:09pm I could be reading this wrong, but looks like Brage and GT are officially over. Surprised it took this long for an actual announcement, but maybe they wanted to wait for all the Trolldom stuff to be released first? Maybe? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSnyhjoDLrr/?igsh=MTJzb2Vhcm5obDJtbg==

12/23/2025 9:51am Atherton just announced an e-bike will be released in 2026. Doing a three part series talking about development, but no pics released yet.

12/23/2025 9:15am MTB adjacent, but Dylan Stark is sponsored by Stranger BMX now. How many riders have multiple bike sponsors? If I remember correctly, he re-signed with YT, right? Also, I just double checked the YT site and they have NOT updated their athletes. Still have Vali, Kolb, Oisin, Tippie and everyone else still listed as part of The MOB. (at least...

Chasing your friends down your local trails as fast as you can and sharing the stoke at the bottom, continued progression in your 40’s, crashing but not getting hurt, tall bars, ripping a corner so good it makes you smile, building and riding my own frame.

12/22/2025 12:29pm I'm not sure if I'm reading into things more than I should, but is it weird that Laurie hasn't posted (or re-posted) anything about being off Syndicate? So far, no parting words or thanks or good luck to the team or anything.

12/22/2025 7:11am 2025 was an all time year. Some stand-outs: 1. RAAW Madonna - what a bike. Fast, composed, jumps fantastic and reliable. 2. Vorsprung Telum - expensive, but so good. I'm 260lbs and have been hitting bigger drops and jumps than ever and it's stayed calm and composed without asking questions. Having a custom tune from the start helps, but having...

Thanks for all the love Vital! My goal is to continue a career that allows me to contribute to another 1000 pages of the tech rumour thread.

12/17/2025 7:39am That's good news. I picked up a whole pile of stuff when I happened in Les Gets just before the WC stop. Saved something like 40 euros on shipping to Canada. Ha ha

12/16/2025 9:37am Long wheelbase setting. Zeb Ultimate, Vorsprung Telum coil. NSB cranks. Hope GR4 brakes. WAO dh rims laced to Profile Elite hubs. DH casing Conti tires. Beefy build and it's an XL frame. I haven't weighed it, but there's no way it's under 40lb. It's never going to be the quickest uphill, but at 260lb, neither am I. Lol.

12/16/2025 7:43am I've got pretty much the same set up: 1. Madonna - built for strength, not weight, so it's a bit of a tank. Pedal's okay when I want to put some effort in, but I mostly shuttle and ride park. 2. Sirius - single speed, 130mm hardtail. Definitely a different kind of riding. 3. Transition PBJ - no substitute for...

with youtube you can use all kinds of good music these days without copyright strikes (just like insta reels or tiktok). the video won't get monetized but who cares when it amounts to like $87 for an action video under 30k views briole video and all commencal vids are 🔥

Blown away when the Method Man dropped. Like the actual visceral feeling you get when you see a rider you like with a proper run time video from a brand that does good work and the music is fire and the filming and editing is good and the track/zone is SICK... It's ALL coming together. Gave me the feeling I got as a kid popping in DVDs of the best skate/BMX videos. You KNEW it was going to be good. They couldn't afford for it to be bad. Despite saturation, kinda hard to get that feeling these days. The only...

12/15/2025 3:25pm Not necessarily bike related, but just saw a post from Subaru wishing Semenuk well in his future endeavours. Not sure if he’s retiring from racing or what that means. Maybe more bike content again? Ha ha. https://www.instagram.com/p/DR7VZT_DeuE/?igsh=MXY5MTlsbjAyMDFqaw==

12/11/2025 10:58am I wonder if there will be more bikes like the Bottle Rocket? I'm not sure there are a ton of enduro racers on 170/180mm "enduro" bikes, but rather on 150/160mm "trail" bikes. Along those lines, I know some guys who are doing 20-30ft road gaps/jumps/etc on Spec Enduro's and don't seem them replacing them with Stumpy's anytime soon. I wonder...

Outlier Pendulums are definitely different and innovative. They may not be for everyone, but I love mine.

12/10/2025 12:38pm I'm going to preface this with "I absolutely zero interest in electronic shifting", but I think it's hard to argue against Shimano actually producing a wireless groupset being one of the biggest tech stories of the year. It might not be groundbreaking in the same way AXS was, but I appreciate SRAM doesn't have a monopoly on wireless anymore. I...
