Unfortunately I'm an idiot, so I'll answer your question even if it is sarcastic. I found a known value that's easy to measure, the rear brake rotor. I set it to 203mm (as mentioned in a bike check from my memory) 16.2cm = 6.377 inch, rounded up however the app used rounds things and also not a perfect angle. Closest match for phone size would be a Iphone 16/17 pro max at 16.3 cm or a google pixel 9/10 at 6.3 inches. I'm going to go with the iphone 16/17 pro max. I should touch grass. I'm also either going...

All the debate on compliance between 31.8 & 35 bars and I'm over here thinking a set of Doom 22.2 cromo bars might be in my future unless I can find someone else making a 55-60mm cromo rise bar.... Or buying a pipe bender and making my own.

Chainstay basically aligned with top tube, round looking cable entry on the down tube. Closest I could find is a Trek Sesh

I agree that this should be celebrated as far as someone doing what’s best for her and has a support network that is sticking with her. I do think that the “sad” part (though I don’t think sad is necessarily the best descriptor) would be that she’s coming off her best season results wise but clearly there are underlying issues that she’s experiencing with either burnout or mental health that have left her needing to make this decision. Only time will tell, but if she emerges on the other side and returns to form or, conversely, doesn’t return to form...

I don’t find it sad. I find it amazing that’s both she and her team are on board doing what is best for them at the moment. So many racers would never do this as even less teams would allow it.

Jacks announcement took a few of us by surprise last night. It's sad that one of the best riders in the world, arguably the most charismatic too is unable to secure a ride for next year and in some ways, coerced into retirement. I hope he finds a role somewhere, he would be a fantastic "face" of a company. The content would be top level. Jack is majorly responsible for MTB in Australia spreading so far, his influence on youngsters and his personal approach to grassroots racing that I have seen first hand is commendable. He truly is one of...

Kinda lame/sad Mondraker didn't even spell his name correctly in their farewell post.

Greenland to Frameworks?

Thats Dale McMullan of Nukeproof with the prototype Dissent they are working on.

In honor of the 1000th page, we should vote on the best meme of 2025: 👍🏻 for “Crab” 👎🏻 for “6-7” edit: Carcinization is the antithesis of innovation. Maybe we should keep crab talk on the crab talk forum and keep this thread focused on MTB tech rumors and/or innovation.

Also, websites like this tend to be an echo chamber populated by a minority. The vast majority of people don’t care. I’m 6’3” and honestly, if the post is 170mm+ I don’t even think twice about it.
