1/19/2026 8:37am The Radavist just published an article testing out a prototype Manitou 32" Mattoc. Didn't really go much into the fork and more into 32" wheel stuff.

1/18/2026 10:30am Good call on the tape to keep an eye on things. The boys at the shop got a little creative and I think we managed to figure something out. Ultimately, the zip ties along the chainstays are a little looser and we've got a bit of extra line routed by the BB to allow a bit of movement. I'll have...

Yikes. That's just how the Madonna is designed unfortunately. You have to remove the shock and cycle the linkage to make sure it doesn't tug on the rear brake line under hard compression. RAAW build video shows this pretty well. I measured 3 times before finalizing the position and also used electrical tape to make sure the hose doesn't creep back and forth as the linkage cycles over time.

1/16/2026 9:04pm I think it pulled out when I was compressed. I was taking things pretty easy (on my own and first ride since, like, November? We're supposed to be skiing over here), so I wasn't at speed or after any kind of big jumps/drops, so it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. The shop I go to was...

1/16/2026 3:33pm Welp. First ride on the GR4's and initial thoughts: Pros: look amazing. Tons of power. Short throw (which I love). Light lever feel. Cons: the rear brake line pulled out of the calliper, so I lost my rear brake for about 3/4 of my ride. Chunky, loose, dh trails are sketchy with only a front brake. Lol. Looks like with...

1/15/2026 6:51pm This isn't anything other than a "Hope Evo GR4s are the sexiest brakes out there" post with a little side of "Profile makes the best sounding hubs". There is some dry dirt and warm temps in southern Alberta and I've got the day off tomorrow, so will report back on how they perform.

1/14/2026 6:24pm This is a rumour thread. Why not have fun with it? lol I don't seriously think he's gonna go to Kona, but ever since the original owners bought it back, I think more than a few people are hoping they go back to their roots and bring back some big bikes. A man can dream, no?

1/14/2026 11:31am Looks like Caleb Holonko is off Kona. Making room for Brage and a big comeback?

1/9/2026 6:23am Brage has to be one of the biggest ones we're still waiting on.

1/8/2026 6:21am Does that mean Gwin no longer has a stake in Crestline or that Crestline is no longer making DH bikes (acknowledging they were already super limited) and just focusing on e-bikes? Will Gwin be training on Specialized e-bikes?

1/7/2026 11:09am Are you just making up these team breakdowns out of thin air? Specialized - French, Canadian, Danish, British. So... not super French? Norco - Canadian company, three Canadian riders, SA team manager, one Brit, one NZ and one Austrian jr. No Americans? How does that make them a South African and American team? lol Canyon - Australian x2, Canadian x2...

1/7/2026 9:10am Personally, I'm not American, so that doesn't play into it at all. Winning doesn't make you likeable. Dak presents as a nice guy and people like that. Having a bit of a unique set up could also play into it, but I think it's mostly just the nice guy thing. People also love an underdog and a comeback story, so...
