2120mtbrider Added a reply to Silent Bikes - What tricks do you have to keep your bike quiet through the season?
12/3/2025 9:29am I have been a big fan of I9 hubs lately since I think they sound cool and I like the high engagement especially since they are relatively light weight. I know many people have issues with bearing wear, driver rings, pawl deformation, etc, but I am light and they seem to have great durability for me personally. Mainly considering Onyx...

12/2/2025 7:30pm I've never owned an onyx hub but I have met/worked on bikes for many people who now chase endless noises from their bike..... Also personally not a fan of Onyx designs anyway....there are much better hubs out there that can be pretty quite if thats what you want

12/2/2025 6:47pm Sorry for the thread revival but I thought this might be a good place to pose an interesting question. I am considering a new wheel set and contemplating either I9 Hydra2 hubs or Onyx Classics. For those who have ridden Onyx before, obviously the hub itself is quiet, but does the overall ride get perceptibly noisier since there is no...

11/19/2025 8:54pm 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.

11/19/2025 3:48pm As others have shared in this thread, the unknown six bar bike was spotted all the way back in 2023, before the newest Yeti bikes with the latest cable ports launched. To my eyes, the cable ports on that new mystery prototype are a dead ringer for those old SB165 cable ports. SARCASM MODE ENGAGED: Did you even read the thread before posting? Disappointing.

11/19/2025 3:48pm The cable entry design at the headtube, lack of in frame storage, and the overcomplicated pivot/link situation at the bottom bracket, all lead me to suspect Yeti. I feel like Yeti needs something complicated like dw6 or switchfinity is to convince people they are buying the premium suspension option. Meanwhile, suspension designs from 30 years keep winning every DH world cup

10/29/2025 8:38pm I think that Cornelius has completely outclassed Fox in the Upsidedown fork space. Options, quality, weight, price, reliability, performance, etc. Intend wins on every aspect. What the Podium did for me, is make me really interested in the Intend...

10/23/2025 9:11pm Hey look what I found in the parts bin: This was one of the last things I worked on at RS before I left... goal was to control big hits by weakening or slowing down the return of the air spring. I run my setup with a lot of spring and no damping, so getting bucked on big hits is part of the deal. This thing 'gulps' all the air in the positive chamber on compression and lets it out with a tiny delay (since it all has to go through the tiny hole to get out). No delay on...
