isn't there an e-bike thread?

@TEAMROBOT's favorite rear tire

Interesting news from I9 following the We Are One acquisition, they named We Are One's founder Dustin Adams CEO of the whole company. I say "interesting" because it's not unusual for the management team of the acquired entity to be more or less dismantled as the smaller structure is absorbed into the acquiring one. Sounds like Dustin is the right man for the job at hand! ------------------------------------------------- November 6, 2025 - Asheville, NC DUSTIN ADAMS JOINS INDUSTRY NINE AS NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER New leadership appointment set to drive the future of Industry Nine’s global business strategy Industry Nine’s founder...

Just a heads up, Fox Factory and GoPro both report results tonight. I'll do my best to aggregate results, listen to conference calls (at least with Fox) and put a little post together. Cheers!

Mmh i loved the look, plus the 203mm have smaller cuts compared to the 160mm for example I might listen to you on this one and get some radic rotors Light and thick

Post your roots and rain page, sir.

I re-read this post and couldn't understand what you were trying to say. Not to mention your response seems filled with unnecessary vitriol over someone just mentioning a persons name. Judging by your response I can only assume that you're harboring some deep seeded PTSD from him crushing you at the local beer league endubro. Which I do personally feel like that might be worth seeking some help for as it's never good to cary such such a burden mentally. All that besides, I'm glad you feel like Evil's 435 rear center is what you want in a size XL...

Aston and Cahal have their quirks but calling them mediocre riders is complete BS. Both of those guys rip. Also 435 chainstay on a modern XL mtb is a joke IMO. Especially for a frame that costs $4k.

dh krypto soft rear, dd highroller 3 front for socal.

I gave up on rotor truing tools entirely... I found that I end up warping them worse then when I started. Knipex pliers are the move for me when truing rotors. Fortunately, that means one less tool to take with me on fly away trips.

" I'm a big guy and always looking for more power." My Large Mammalian Maple Brother... as a 6'3" 230lb Brique Shithaus, the answer you seek is still Hayes Dominion A4's Dead Dog on Mt 7 on a Norco Shore running 220/203 Rotors and Sintered pads and Conti' DH SS Shoes was smooth, confident and in-control with 0 Fade or wander of bite on the Hayes magic. Hell, I can 10mth old baby slow crawl the chutes on Puma Grande in the dry with these bad larrys. Promise you'll love 'em

My riding buddy got a set of GR4 and I like them more than my Intends lol

The new Loam Gen 2 from PNW that we just reviewed uses a 26mm stanchion for the 30.9/31.6, and a 29mm stanchion for the 34.9.

34,9 mm is not a dropper post related standard. I had a Scott Scale back in my xc racing days in 2005 that had a 34,9 mm seatpost. As for binding and bushing overlap and the like, there are very few dropper posts that have a 34,9 mm specific upper (Bikeyoke Max series) as opposed to just running a thicker lower/outer tube with the rest of the parts the same as with 30,9 and 31,6 mm posts.

But is it laterally stiff while maintaining vertical compliance?!?

Well, I haven't heard this one before. 🙄
