Zuestman Added a reply to 2026 MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation - Longer and Slacker
5/8/2026 10:31am good to see, but unfortunately they say that increase to super boost incurs no cost.... that isn't specifically true as it is a redesign of the frame (though frame is already being redesigned). Also, yes we know there is a weight penalty, but they only went to a 1.65mm spoke and not a 1.8. but yes more weight. also, not...

5/8/2026 9:34am So, going to ask this question fully understanding the debates and tech here... So everyone is saying 32" will NEED new/wider hub spacing, especially for DH. WHY? Most companies are designing asymetric rims. spoke tensions are even. now, on top of that, commencal is running 32h rear 28h front. so going down in spoke count. AND most teams are running...

This is how I found out about ODI's new Rogue V2.1 lock-on grips for big hands. What rock have I been under? They look sick.

3/21/2026 10:31am I'm have not read this in depth, so bear with me both of you. But, in terms of leverage going to throw another wrench in the works 
V-brakes on a rim brake bike. Less clamping force than a hydraulic brake (though, we could toss magura hs33 rim brakes in to make it even better). and your leverage is massive...

Zuestman Added a reply to MTB Component Pricing
3/4/2026 7:50am In those specific instances as people have said, polishing and anodizing multiple colors vs. bead blasted black. More steps=more money. It can also come down to steps you can't even see. 3d vs. 2d forging. full CNC, just adding a machining pass pre or post ano, etc. Laser graphics vs. decal. All these little steps add up on the price...

2/25/2026 3:12pm because it isn't 15%. as has been noted it is 50% for steel specifically. it is then % of overall weight, so say 20% of total weight of the bike. now take 20% of the landed cost of the bike. now multiple that by 50%. It grows quickly.
