I have my 9yr old on a mega mini mullet. Front is 24" and the rear is 20" inch. It's a hardtail with a Manitou kids fork, it looks like an old school freeride hardtail with a Monster T. He dug out an old white Chromag seat from my spares pile and put it on, the proportions of the adult saddle to the small kids bike is again like old school freeride with those massive Tioga seats. I should take some pictures of it.

I have a Commencal Clash I can set up super-mini-mullet (26” front, 24” rear). On the right trails it is super duper fun.

6/11/2026 9:06am Anyone have one or done this to an older bike? If you have one post it up. About twice a year I really get the itch to build a single speed Calling, 5010, older Scout or something along those lines in a 26” rear/27.5” front. Ultimately I always ditch the idea when I start adding up costs. But sometimes it’s...

Nice looking build. Purple hubs would not be something I would have thought of but it looks really good with the oil slick, chrome and black.

It is a lot. Specialized frame only options have always been stupid. There seems to be a lot of people with a lot of expendable income or just willing to rack up credit card debt. Either way Specialized knows there is enough of those people for these to sell. I would be curious how many they plan to sell annually

I’m sure people will be 3D printing them in any color available shortly. Would be even better if Crankbrothers just offered a 3D print design (not sure if that’s the correct term) that was open sourced

4/9/2026 6:30pm I use SQ Labs 711 in size L. Amazing. Also have Meaty Paws on my DH bike and they look cooler but aren’t as comfortable.

The polished Dorado looks nice. The single speed is also sweet. Perfect park bike.

2/9/2026 8:05am I’ll also recommend the Montana de Oro area. Used to live down there and that was a beautiful area and the trails are fun. Outside San Luis is a little town called Pozo, it is a big moto area. If you can round up some locals it’s a fun shuttle spot. Nothing super technical but really fast and loose. Be...
thejake Added a reply to Modular Bikes: Evolution or Devolution?
1/30/2026 8:00pm I think if the overlap is close and well thought out it’s possible and can be good. Overall though I’m not a fan. Majority (and in my opinion +95%) aren’t drastically changing their bikes. Really how many people are going to buy the Rallon and a spare fork, proper DH drivetrain, different shock, etc and swap all that crap out...

12/30/2025 5:28pm I could see a marijuana company sponsoring a free ride event. “Hey we know everyone is doing it already, let’s just sell a bunch of merch and we happen to co own a taco truck we will have onsite also”

- the juniors will do well, but won't be a smooth transition to elite. - Jackson and Loic will continue to dominate, but a healthy Amaury will mix it up. Henri will be a regular on the podium - Vali on a Commencal and a stable team will be tough to beat. Being Canadian, I hope Gracey has another year like last year. - the Specialized Demo is released. A new precedent on how expensive DH bikes can be is set - more park/freeride specific bikes (think Transition Bottle Rocket, Commencal FRS, etc) are released. Hopefully Kona comes out to...

8/23/2025 9:13am Interesting question. I think it really just depends on how bad the erosion is and how far ahead you’re looking. If you have good sight lines and can tell it’s a mini rut to track you thru a section, sure hit it. If it starts small and turns into a blown out mess of trail avoid it, go high, low...

8/2/2025 4:11pm True but I think a “cheater” motor would be tiny and add a few pounds and just give the rider an extra few watts. The battery would only have to last for about 60 seconds. The trick would also be to make it so you don’t blow second place out of the water by 10 seconds, would look super suspicious...
