Its pretty common for early press photos to be on whatever bike they could get to them immediately, so its often the previous years stock-standard bike thats a size too small with a few minor parts that aren't sponsor-accurate. Then you'll slowly start seeing new content with the proper spec for the new year. It always seems to be way more manic to get riders their proper kit in time for the race season than it would appear from the outside.

Has anyone heard something new about the supposed highish-pivot Trek Slash?

Can we table the "pick a brake fluid and be a dick about it" discussion and get back to tech rumors please?

I’ve been working thru the same bottle of shimano mineral oil for sometime now. Even have used it to sharpen a knife when the honing oil i use was backordered. not remotely expensive. Put in smaller bottles for travel. Infinitely more convenient than dot in practice.

What are the chances that sram switches all brakes to mineral oil but makes sure to use a mineral oil that’s incompatible with shimano’s mineral oil. That’d be just like the bike industry!

DOT X is DOT X though. Mineral oil fro. The manufacturer X is not the same as from manufacturer Y. That's my issue. If the mineral oil brake guys agreed on a standard and all ran the same off the shelf fluid available in every town, I don't have an issue.

We are all the best riders you can find on this globe, just a bit shy to go out and dominated world cup racing, but we do indeed boil our brake fluid every morning on our warm up ride before breakfast!

But it's the best, it keeps my skin soft after a day of bleeds.. The DB8's lever feel is excellent but I've yet to have any real world feed back if them being ridden hard on long descents. I'm a Shimano brakes guy but I do enjoy a properly set up pair of codes from time to time.

Less refined too. I sincerely hope they stay on DOT fluid as long as the brakes are as good as they are. I don't want to deal with some proprietary baby oil fluid...

no it doesn't, actually. shimano dura-ace track gourp 7710 debuted in 1996 and has not had a single update since. there's no reason to replace it. just like saint works, best brakes in their line-up, ain't broke, don't fix it. sram is the reason things come out so fast now, they don't wait until a product is fully ready, they just release it, and update every 2 years. shimano just doesn't do that, they are a bit because of the competition, but i guaranty shimano would still have us on 11 speed and front derailleurs is sram didn't shake things...

It’s an old race face post. I actually have a Magura Vyron but the remote isn’t here yet. I got the frame for $700 so for an experiment wanted to see what it rode like.

This frame does look like ass but at least it’s aluminium. If they’ve found a way to make aluminium frames financially viable again I’d say that’s a good thing. I for one am super excited to see how and where their new downhill frames are made when they hit the market.

I'm not buying this unless they can engineer the automatic pressure release valves to sound like farts.

DXR was launched for the inaugural bmx at the olympics in 2008 and Dura Ace 7710 (track) is older than the hills (1996).
