He had that mule last year, too, didn’t he? (judged events don’t belong in mountain biking)

Woosh

Apparently I struck a nerve. Good news is there are plenty of DH bikes with old Boxxers, and enduro bikes with 21'-23' X2's for you guys to pony up to, since they are such awesome products.

Been talked about before but now almost available to buy https://road.cc/content/tech-news/wheels-self-inflating-deflating-tyre-… From the world of gravel… Can add 14psi in a km (deflation much quicker) into a gravel tyre, would be slower for an xc tyre. At that rate, probably only plausible for xc marathon/stage racing which can have sustained road or fire road sections interspersed with difficult-for-an-xc-bike singletrack.

Maybe they're doing lights?

PNW Components has something coming out.

Right now the market fell out of mid and low end sales post covid. Top of the line stuff is probably chugging along just fine, as the target market is relatively recession immune, so we're going to see the eggs go into that basket for a while.

The price

It is called oem formula hubs

I always felt that the suspension-creep happened for two reasons (and I'm happy to be proven otherwise): 1. Refined kinematics allowing for better pedalling performance allowing greater suspension travel without as many drawbacks 2. Better long-travel single-crown forks allowing for 170-180mm front travel without flexy noodles. These two combined resulting in models like the Megatower creeping up in travel, and then the Hightower creeps up behind to maintain the gaps in travel from before. So rather than the mid-travel models getting longer legs, its the long-travel models getting longer and the mid-travel growing to fill the gap. As was definitely...
