4/21/2022 4:07am So Canyon have their tall EWS champion riding at somewhat 440mm reach (Rude, Maes and others are in a similar case), then say that 1,78m racers need 480mm of reach...

4/18/2022 1:28pm 'Down country' (just typing that makes me feel dirty) bike test -Needs 203mm rotors, 4 pot calipers and dual ply tyres to make it ridable. Enduro bike test, The 150mm travel bike with 180mm rotors and shortest/steepest geometry was our favourite. Being light is vey important. They are hard to take seriously tbh.

4/18/2022 1:26pm That 10k price seemed too good to be true considering previously they sold frames only for ~5k. But there's a catch, all other frames previously were "FULLY DESIGNED, ENGINEERED AND MANUFACTURED IN BARCELONA", while BOÖS is only "DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED IN BARCELONA." Not all Unnos are created equal!

4/14/2022 11:03pm I believe that a 475mm reach is ideal, and every other reach is factually inferior. All bow before my infallible personal opinion.

4/14/2022 1:11am What are the chances Redbull puts their weight behind the IXS cup and tries to pull off what Freecaster wanted to do back in the day and move mainstay racers and teams away form the UCI? It almost happened before when the redbull switch happened but I dont think there was enough money. And I guess it did happen in the 90's as i remember stories about how big the NORBA series was. Maybe Redbull makes it happen with everything they've learned, bigger, better stops and an actual "World" series. They know what their viewership is and they know they...

4/11/2022 5:56am Scott not designing its own bikes? That's crazy what I can read in the recent lines... The Spark looks like the Bold because it uses a similar layout. Period. The Ransom and Genius share a family look but every single part is different from each other, just look closer. Peace. Scott MTB Lead Designer

4/10/2022 1:19pm FWIW, the tinkering comment was aimed as a quote of Big Birds comment. As far as I've been told, Forestal's operations are damn serious.

4/10/2022 1:19pm CG and Forestal are not tinkering anymore, they are up and running. I'm surprised it hasn't been discussed more in here, but ok - it's just an ebike. Technically their Syrion is an 18kg enduro bike with a 60nm motor built by Bafang in cooperation with Forestal and a 360Wh battery, and it rides great, and turned me from eBike hater to enthusiast. How? I have one in my garage since January. About the company: CG mentioned a while ago on GMBN that he was a partner in Forestal, his role is somewhat of an ambassador. One of the other...

4/7/2022 1:16pm After just going through a Cushcore install, this would actually be magical. I wonder how long it will take to be available on AliExpress, if it's not already up there
Also, linkage on an Orange, say whaaaaaaaaat?? :O

4/7/2022 12:36am Those new Conti tires might have the worst MTB product names I can think of. I haven't even looked at the tread design because I'm so transfixed by how bad the branding is.

4/7/2022 12:35am Because Dave Camp is a RockShox suspension engineer, and says not to. I'd trust him over some forum 'experts' any day.

4/2/2022 10:42am I thought Pierron's head tube angle looked steep, and by my Photoshop measurements (after leveling the wheels), it looks like it's 64.0 vs 62.2 on Coulanges' bike (which looked like the slackest of the bunch). I don't know if that's relevant or not for any of you, but I felt like checking it out haha!
