All

should i post the new fox dampers again? since no one seems to have seen it before fox pulled some strings to get it removed.

No, this is now the MTB Brake Lever feel thread because who doesn't like to talk about their feelings on the internet.

Could always just fire up another Commencal or Canyon team

THIS is an appropriate piece of design then. Didn't see it on the website. More embarassing, I didn't thought about this possibility, diving all the way in all the "hate" around Ari Bikes. My bad.

Just got back from a day at Dyfi. This is the production-ready model, two were being tested by journalists in preparation for the official launch on the 12th. In person it’s absolutely striking and looks like nothing else out there. If the frame only price is reasonable then I’ve never been more tempted by a bike. (If anyone from Atherton bikes wants me to remove the photo I’m happy to, but as it’s been seen by upwards of 100 people today I’m sure it’s fine).

I'm just hoping I have it and they forgot to write it

Has anyone ever seen Christopher Waltz and Boris in the same place at the same time?

I'm picturing one guy alone in an dark cold warehouse putting together the remaining 370 Nukeproof bikes, holding onto that last flicker of hope.

Add to that, he loses his shit when someone breaks one of his records.

It may seem uninteresting probably because you're missing it has adjustable CS length, BB height, and head tube angle, almost completely independent of each other. Mullet/29er compatible, adjustable leverage ratio through included shock mounts, 148 rear dropout for more wheel compatibility, and ZS56 | ZS56 head tube for angle and reach adjust. It's also already won Proving Grounds last year and best trick at Darkest this year. There's a lot going on with this bike when you dig in a bit deeper.

Sorry to detail the rumors thread. Back to rumors: hope that new altitude comes out today

Definitely going to take a look at them. Hard to say what all will really be possible until can see what the pad retract numbers are. There are some specific things I want to try that could work out quite well knock on wood.

MTB hydraulic brakes are a sensitive and complex system. I don’t think we give them enough credit for what they do, and how well they do it. But you’re going to lose me when you admit that “probably yes” you shouldn’t have “skipped a step” during install/setup.

The other part of the equation is master cylinder piston diameter. The smaller it is the more leverage it has over the pistons in the caliper. Think of it like you had interchangeable dropouts on your bike and you added 100mm to the rear end of your bike, that’s going to increase the leverage on the shock. The lower the amount of fluid moved for the same amount of piston movement/lever movement the more hydraulic leverage the master has. Hayes use a 9mm bore in the dominions (as far as I know) which is why they have very high hydraulic...
