Every great messageboard’s downfall began like this. RIP vital forums…

I appreciate how the drawing looks like what happens in linkage if you only model the rear end and don't set the rest of the geo properly, like fork length etc and you get this weird 100mm travel 85 degree head angle DH bike😅

In honor of the 1000th page, we should vote on the best meme of 2025: 👍🏻 for “Crab” 👎🏻 for “6-7” edit: Carcinization is the antithesis of innovation. Maybe we should keep crab talk on the crab talk forum and keep this thread focused on MTB tech rumors and/or innovation.

Yes, MS paint reaction memes only please, have some self respect, people!

I like Santa Cruz but their crustacean justification is boiled, bruh

Big Betty Radial pls

It is crazy how much gunk builds up in the bottom of the lowers and under the bottom out pads! This $4 bottle brush from bunnings is my favourite cleaning tool and I make sure they are spotless. I remember working in shops if we had a customer with filthy lowers and you just sprayed it with cleaner and wiped with a rag, you could open that fork back up a month later and would look filthy again! You really need to put some work in it, I don't think I've hosed out lowers before but it probably works great...

I honestly think Rockshox doesn't get enough credit for their attention to friction - everyone loves to talk about the latest dampers but those come well after the friction and the spring in terms of what actually matters. I noticed things like increasing the bushing length and carefully choosing bath oil viscosity (not too thick in most forks, but the short travel skinny leg forks get heavier oil) along with good alignment and clearances in the new forks. Fox still use very short bushings in all their models, plus I'm positive the oil channels they added in the lowers do...

Yeti Switch Infinity Chainring

Normal rack 4 bolts, S-Works rack 5 bolts.

I'm more curious about the new bike rack that mounts to the front wheel of a car. Is it available for older 4 bolt hubs?

As someone who frequently lurks in this thread, I would love to see more moderation of the off-topic replies. I know threads are frequently spun off this one (like tires), but some of the frequent posters in the last month have never contributed to the topic at hand, other than to share their opinions and anecdotes. LAME!
