Hey all, I can finally take off my very sneaky blue tape camouflage to reveal that yes, I’m reviewing the new Nomad. Because I’ve spent so many years on the old Megatower, I’m framing this as a Megatower vs. Nomad comparison. Especially interesting for me because of the rumors that the Megatower is going away and the new Nomad does not take 29” rear wheels. I only have a couple rides in on the new bike, but so far the geometry feels really good and the bike feels solid and stout. Weirdly I haven’t been able to figure out the...

More from them- plus seems to be released now

New TLD Stage Stunt seems to be ready. Better build quality, hopefully the Stage 2 will be like that. Stage Stunt

We did each of the pivot axles as a mirror image to keep SKUs and costs down, allow anyone to work on them and for the general ease of not needing to guess which is right and left. We made these bits as user friendly as possible. We knew they will be intimidating as they are gearbox bikes with a lot (like 80%) CNC billet as well as a different suspension than what is out there in the mainstream (there're a few copies and others that are their own variant). all external routed cables too.

David , maybe because you are just posting pics with little to no context?

As a prototype it might be mirrored and the hex bolt heads are just on the other side

Colorblind guy here so take this with a grain of salt but very similar, maybe same, as Nomad 3: Life is too short for bland ass colorways for my two cents.

is that the same launch color as the nomad 3? that miami vice colorway was fire 😍

sounds like 5 underutilized support resources to me

My comment "idler goes on swingarm" was a gross over simplification. An important point of context about the itrack patent is that the application was submitted in 2013. 26" wheeled dh bikes were still mainstream.

Say the forks are dry, still showcases just how smooth the Lefty is. Add oil, still smoother. Unless Im missing something, compared to the other offerings of modern USD forks, an old SuperMaxx Lefty still seems like a more logical option. Especially if it had a modernized damper. If we are strictly talking about stiffness, smoothness, and weight. I feel if Cannondale did come out with a modern Lefty they would not have such a negative reaction of "looks weird" like they did in the past. I mean we went through the era of pregnant Ebikes. Now the weirdest thing...

Not sure what the patent situation is like with Cannondale's lefty forks, but they use needle bearings because they need them. Leftys only have one stanchion and they need something to prevent rotation, thus the needle bearings. As for why not use it on conventional forks, it incredibly expensive compared to classic forks. While precisely grinding the insides and outsides of an aluminium tube is anything but easy I'd imagine, additionally grinding three (Ocho, previous Cannondale forks had four) flat surfaces that have to be smooth for the needle bearings and have a tight angular tolerance (as close to 120°...
