7/1/2026 11:42pm I am going to be completely transparent here in that I work for FSA, but I will say I worked really hard on making the 31.8 40mm Gradient alloy bar one of the most compliant on the market. and here is the proof: (chart from PB article)

Skunk Works Suspension Liked a reply to forum topic Ride 886 Introduces TopHat, a Modern Dual-stage Air Spring System for Fox and RockShox Forks
6/24/2026 7:32am You can change the effective piston stroke, the initial volume it takes up in the fork, and the internal volume of the unit itself (to alter the ramp characteristics). It is not limited to a specific travel like the other options are if you want to change air springs. And it comes with a top cap socket tool. A true puzzlers delight! 😊 I'm hoping they'll make one for Intend forks at some point. The Linearizer option Intend makes is quite limited in comparison.

6/22/2026 11:12pm $40 per month is a ripoff, idk what you're on about. The season lasts from May-October (6 months), which is $240. Each elite race is about 3 hours. 10 races per season is 30 hours of racing. That is $8 per hour of livestream, more than minimum wage in 20 US states. It costs WBD almost nothing to distribute the stream to each additional viewer, yet they are charging more than they would be willing to pay somebody for manual labor for that same time period. I know biking is a fairly affluent sport but it sickens me to see...

Shinook Liked a reply to forum topic Bar ends ... so hot right now
6/22/2026 8:01am I got my first ride on these today. I'll get more in the coming week I'm sure. I paired them with a grip change to Wolf Tooth's lockon grips. For a little background, I have pretty significant neuropathy problems in both of my arms due to long running Cubital Tunnel syndrome. I've had surgery but the pain still exists when I ride and sometimes it still lingers after. My problems are somewhat the opposite of Joe's, his seem to stem from being highly athletic and having forearm pump, mine stem from sitting behind a computer since I was 8 years...

6/15/2026 11:28pm Thanks for sharing this. I'm super curious about the bar ends, and especially what grips people are running. I don't want to start it because I don't have anything to contribute, but I'd love to follow a thread devoted to these things where we aggregate people's experiences installing and riding them. Bet of lot other people would as well.

Teknik Liked a reply to forum topic Bosch CX Goes to 120nm / 600% Support & More - 2026 E-Bike System Updates
5/24/2026 7:57am Honestly, full Garmin integration is the only compelling reason I’d see to finally trade in my old Purion-controlled CX bike. It’s a shame it took Bosch so long to open up the ecosystem, but finally getting all the data to a real bike computer instead of diving deep into the messy eBike Flow app is the real upgrade here. Okay, and maybe the 12A charger—if it’s not the size of an oldskool VHS player.

Primoz Liked a reply to forum topic Suspension Component Technology/Functionality Discussion
5/23/2026 8:02am One quick question, previous gen Super Deluxe Air had the option to be udoated to the high flow piston and the new force-named compression and rebound shim stacks. On the coil side the update was pushed out in the form of Super Deluxe Coil being renamed to the Vivid Coil. Is there nevertheless an upgrade option for the last Super Deluxe Coil in the same vein as there is for the Air? Or could I revalve it to the same tune I had previously in my air shock and get similar results? (there are some cheap used options out there...

5/22/2026 8:45am The Murmur has a rising rate (anti-progressive) and riders much better than any of us ride it with this coil shock, which to my knowlege has no HBO nor a progressive coil. The Yeti Switch Infiinty bikes all had/have progression less than 20% and they ride amazing. I know Mr. Cascade thinks anything with less than WC level progression is unridable, but I actually like less progression on a short travel bike. Keep it firm so you have something to push against and preserve geometry.

5/22/2026 8:44am That's good. I have said it before, but the phantom was a bike so good i bought it twice (with v1 spur in between). And now the frames still available were cheaper than EPing them. They better fix seatpost insertion. Otherwise, any other tweaks would just be icing on the cake.

4/29/2026 7:12am Thicker rotors only reduce lever travel (which comes from less of a gap between pads and rotor) till the pads are worn a bit and the caliper seals let the pistons slip out a bit to make up for some of the wear. Then, the lever throw is only depending on the seal roll back of the caliper piston seals. The same effect can be achieved by pumping the brakes and by that advancing the pistons slightly before you insert a thinner rotor.
