2/27/2024 8:21pm Short course enduro laps? So like, extreme cyclocross? Because that's surprisingly fun to watch. I could get behind it.

thing looks like it has a wicked rising leverage ratio. I hope I'm wrong, but you'll have to run all the air spacers and all the high speed compression to keep it off the bottom.

11/17/2022 1:52pm Transitioning back and forth from BMX to MTB can be rather difficult as the geometry is so vastly different. On a BMX, BB height above the axles, mega steep head angle and short chainstays makes them a different beast entirely. The more you ride both the less of an issue it will be. Don't go thinking you can't get a...

I agree. A dummy shell for the Bosch/whatever motor when I don't want it and I'm in. Duel wielding. The Cannondale moterra SE with the 180 boxxer with that and I'm so in.... I want a Cannondale and an ebike... This is the end times

That looks cleaaaaaaaaan. know its still unpopular, but i'm slowly being pushed towards the option of an ebike in my line up. My Jeep and friends trucks get beat to shit every year and maintenance costs and gas add up from riding at my local shuttle spot. It has an 9km fire road all the trails plus the same on the way back from two sides and someday's i'm just one or two people. The idea of getting a few more pedal laps in and be out longer with far less shuttle truck maintenance is really appealing to me. I've...

3/23/2020 6:44pm I’m waiting for the e-bike that converts to a regular bike in 5 mins. Swap out the motor for a shell with normal cranks and bb, remove the battery and you’re good to go. 17.5kg for the forestal is pretty good anyway though.

3/21/2020 2:35pm Surely fork companies could make room for that extra stuff higher up by extending the stanchions up to around the height of the top of the head tube; then you could even connect those two extensions with an extra crown or something and even maybe mount the stem to it.

3/17/2020 3:14pm They only make it for singlespeed but Profile's Z-coaster would work a treat for suspension performance I reckon. The beauty of it is that when you can't hear the pawls clicking it's in coaster mode and when you can hear them it's instant engagement, so no nasty surprises. https://www.profileracing.com/product/mtb-zcoaster-hub/

I’m assuming Cannondale based on a clue he posted a little while back on his insta. Same corporation, different brand.

11/13/2019 7:51pm Turbulent times over at 'Dale maybe? Seems like they're going through an identity crisis. They need some more of that CG/ACC magic from the early 2000's.

11/13/2019 2:23am That’s what I thought too so it could have just been a shirt that he or she was given. It seemed like a pretty solid hint in the post though, and like metadave said below, they might be wanting to shift more focus to Cannondale.

11/11/2019 8:58pm Maybe nothing. Chris Akrigg posted a photo of his very pregnant wife wearing a Cannondale "This Is a Test" T-shirt. Akrigg moving on from Mongoose would be big news. He's been there forever.

6/26/2017 8:49pm Too tough to call! And that's how I likes it! I would say either Minnaar, Hart or Gwin. I would love to see a different winner at each race.

Part of me wonders if all this and that about the tracks and wheels is really just a manifestation of how the riders are just bored racing the same tracks year and year out. Honestly, only 1 or 2 tracks should repeat and there probably shouldn't be any years where a track is used three years in a row... FT. Bill is great, but there aren't any other great tracks that could be used in the UK? I think there would be a lot more excitement about Ft. Bill, MSA, etc. (the classics) if they were every couple years. Val...

Bruni sure has a lot of skin in the anti-29er game, not sure that is going to work out well for him since he seems pretty stubborn. Also his arguments have a lot of circular logic. He has said that 29ers will make the sport too dangerous and fast, but then he says 27.5 makes the sport more loose and wild (aka more dangerous). Also the anti-29 crew keeps citing Ratboy leaving racing as a justification for being anti-29. Meanwhile he is flying around on a 29er for the majority of his latest edit, having a blast. Pretty sure that...

I thought it was the opposite since they use a sprag clutch instead of pawls and springs which rub together. The only drag should come from the bearings. Must be cool having a silent rear hub too!
