power is nothing without control. 42 vs 1 status updates per wheel revolution is what sets avinox apart from the competition. they just know so much more what the wheel does and can react so much faster. just a better systems design

Somehow, the orange looks even worse on the Podium

Thumbs up for the magazine. I miss print.

Is it just me, or is Gwin missing a chain again?

Norco and spesh in a silent competition to see who can take the longest to release their DH bike to the public

Sounds like you've got DVO confused with Marzocchi.

Fuck me this thread is interesting

$100-$500 billion? Seems like a stretch. 🥁

Just got this from Knolly: A Message from Noel Buckley I'm going to keep this simple because you deserve that. The last few years have been the hardest this industry has ever seen, and Knolly has not been immune. But we have been fighting through it: restructuring costs, tightening operations, and doing the difficult work of right-sizing the business to match a new reality. We were making progress. That progress was cut short. Our bank, RBC, has made the decision to call in our account. This comes at a time when RBC is posting record annual profits, $20.4 billion last...

My understanding is that manufacturers mostly build carbon frames from the ground up (as opposed to being assembled from pre-manufactured tubes, a la Atherton Bikes), and that layup patterns don't vary much or at all between sizes ( with a few notable exceptions). But that might be old wisdom on my part, and perhaps the industry is more sophisticated in the way it designs layup patternds now. Maybe everyone is tuning thickness and layup pattern between sizes, but only a few brands are explicitly advertising it. Here's an example of Unno's layup for the Dash 130:

Frame storage DOES add weight. A tube is a pretty amazing piece of a construction element. Lightand stiff in multiple directions, in torsion and bending, bending left and right AND up and down. The problem is the moment you cut into it, while a small hole won't really affect things that much, a long slit will though, you're breaking all of it. So to make a downtube with a big hole cut into it to be able to fit things inside of it, you need to add a lot of material around the rim to bring back the stiffness. A...

I'm confused. If people describe me as a salty person, does that help or hurt my hydration levels on a ride?

Hot take but I hope the Forbidden bike doesn’t have internal storage. I’ve never owned a bike with internal storage. Also never carry ANY tools with me (I don’t really go on huge rides) I probably have to walk back to the car once every couple of years. Bikes are pretty good these days. Im biased but I don’t get too turned on by internal storage. Anyways, would a XC/DC bike be the perfect candidate for internal storage or nah? The whole point is to be light. Seems like skipping it would mean a lighter bike, easier to manufacture, less...
