Us bike nerds notice when there's a new color bolt on a stem. Someone definitely would have noticed Nino and Filippo winning Cape Epic on 32" wheels. They are easy to spot.

Looks like the 2026 Turbo Levo is set to release on April 8th.

My buddy who works at the local specialized dealer couldn’t hang this weekend because he to build a bunch of new e-bikes…

New fork from Intend: https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/intend-launches-essential-e… .

So we're likely to see... - Fox 34 / 36 + Float X2 / DH X2 - Specialized Levo w/ 100nm+ motor - 2 new Yeti ebikes likely with Bosch - Wireless XTR + updated brakes, maybe XT as well - Mechanical SRAM Transmission What else?

Different seat height every time I extend the dropper, and having to micro-tune seat height with the lever every time? Hard pass, for me and especially for beginner riders.

I am 6’. I ride a large Ripmo AF. I have a 175mm dropper and I have to slam my post to pedal when it’s extended. I have short legs. I would probably never be able to ride a 200mm dropper on a full suspension due to packaging constraints. If you could even get a frame designed to have enough insertion and have a short seat tube such that you could have 200mm dropper and still touch the pedals, the seat would most certainly hit the tire. I dont want to have to immediately uninstall and sell every dropper on...

It's great that there's competition at the top of the safety charts. POC shells haven't fit my head shape whenever I've tried them on in the past, but Fox does. I'm sure the opposite applies to other people, so competition means more good options for people.

New TQ will be coming on updated Fuel EXE - Run out sales happening, slash+ To get more models when new TQ comes. I was talking to a trek rep who knows me and said "just wait, You're fussy and youll like whats coming" I buy Far to many bikes.

Can we stop with the pipe dreaming, people would be more likely to glue their head to the table than properly use industrial adhesives in a frame jig. Most people struggle with IKEA,

Has anyone seen anything of the Porsche E-Bikes yet? I got passed by an E-Bike the other day and at first thought that maybe the person had put a big Porsche sticker on their bike as a joke but at second glance it was actually graphics and the whole bike looked extremely polished, different to any other E-Bike I know of and was kitted out with all sorts of bling parts. Sadly they were too fast to interrogate them or snap a pic but it would seem that Porsche might be pretty close to unveiling something given how 'production quality'...

More details from OneUp: At OneUp, we are committed to providing the best possible products and customer service for our riders. As part of this, we are issuing a product improvement and running change notice for our recently introduced Clip Pedals. We have received information from our customers that in rare and specific conditions, certain riders may experience difficulty unclipping from the pedal. Whether a rider experiences this issue depends on a combination of several variables, including the type of shoe, the brand of cleat, cleat position and technique. Many riders will never experience this issue. Nevertheless, we have developed...

Yeah not sure they got that right in the text. Clearly looks like its two separate halfs joined by the linkage and a "tube" kind of

The looks so bad. Who the hell wants a battery penis on their seat post. All this because some frame manufacturers cant figure how not to slam the rear wheel into the seat post on big compressions

The collar is already pretty fat on the AXS V1, and by the looks of it, it hasnt increased in size very much adding a battery to it on the V2 So by doing this, they've dropped a significant ammount of stack from the seat mount part/top of the dropper. Sorry if that wasnt clear enough in the above post. The old "collar" is quite fat on the old version: So by putting the battery there instead of at the top, I'd say they lost a good ammount of stack - as pictured in my last post I just measured...

Enough with the chainstay and transmission discussion - We have something else to scold Sram for. Some really clear pics from ESMTB of the electric dropper we discussed about a few pages back. I see why they did it, but it still looks terrible. But having the battery be a part of the collar, probably greatly decreases the stack height of the whole dropper, which is positive at least. https://esmtb.com/asi-es-la-canyon-lux-world-cup-cfr-de-jenny-rissveds-…

32" is clearly too large. 29", on the other hand, might not be large enough. So obviously the future is going to be 30.5" wheels.

I have been using on O-chain on my enduro bike for the last year and feel like it has some benefits. I ride a Specialized Enduro and the one characteristic it has that I don't like is how much the chain slaps in rougher sections when the suspension is set up to be supportive at speed. On repeated heavier hits, the chain goes wild. My goal with the O-chain was to hopefully reduce the movement in the chain and quiet/calm the bike down. I also feel that the chain flapping has some negative affect on suspension, but how much is...
