simonbriend Added a reply to 2026 MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation - Longer and Slacker
8/29/2026 9:24am In Pompom’s bike check on pink bike it was initially mentioned that her frame has 220mm of travel and that they can run the fork with either 200 or 220mm of travel (saying she chose 200 for Val di sole). It has since been updated and only mention that the frame has 220mm travel. I wonder if it was a...

8/12/2026 6:04am I suppose the weight limit is just one more argument for them to refuse warranty claims rather than a strict limit, the bike is not going to desintegrate under someone 120kg. There is no mention of the adjustable BB in the geo chart, I can’t understand how companies can be so bad a communicatif basic info about their bikes

8/12/2026 2:42am Cube just released a bunch of new bikes, the new downhill bike looks good (especially at the price) and it has a very interesting feature, it seems like the BB position is adjustable! It's a bit cryptic from their text but this is what I understand from their text and photos. It's the first time I see this https://www.cube.eu/fr-fr/cube-two15-slx-deepteal-n-clouds/1174600

8/21/2025 11:18pm This wooden berm is killing one of the most insane spot to be at a World Cup… maybe they did it on purpose to block the crowds from running into the corral at the end of the last run. The madness was always starting from behind this corner

So it took me way to long to stitch these together and export it properly, but I did this test with the tyre at 18psi and 26psi, the 18psi gave the best result. Using parts on hand like some springs around 11.8 N/mm, a 250g mass and a 600g(250+350) mass. (*edit using the 2 opposing springs halves the rate so more like 6 N/mm) The wheel alone is about 1800g so total system about 2.4kg Tyre rates are roughly 35N/mm @ 18psi and 44N/mm at 26psi BUT they are slightly progressive in the first few mm plus I trimmed the...

10/1/2023 8:38am Hi all, I am an avid downhill fan and by chance I will be in Montreal next weekend for a work trip. I was wondering if anyone was driving from Montreal to MSA to go see the downhill finals and would have some space in their car for a fellow rider! (I pay my share of fuel and beer ofc)...
