SRAM Patent Indicates a Future With Thru-Headtube Mounted Stems For a Lower Bar Height
@SleepingAwake: yeah it doesn’t look like it would beed to go through any bearing.
Although having a huge hole in between the bearings seems like an even worse ingress problem than headset routing.

First Look: The AL Works Gradient 30 is Wheel Size-Fluid
I quadruple dog dare you to go 32/24 mullet. Don’t let specialized see this or we may see the “biggest hit” next season.

@johnnys2010: That is true for me. I think it depends if you are someone who holds your grips close to the flange or close to the edge. Im close to the flange so in my preferred position the bar ends weren’t making any contact with my hand. So I had to cut my bars a bit to make them contact while keeping my hands in the preferred position.

Bike Check: 4 Winning Bikes from the 2026 Downieville Classic
@justinb03: norcal as well and I have an xc bike as well as dh so we likely ride similarly. I like a rekon/rekon race combo. Currently I have forekaster/rekon but it doesn’t feel as fast.
I have run rekon race/aspen and that was surprisingly good except braking was bad.

Pinkbike Poll: Are You a Brand Loyalist?
I think for most people it is just because that is easiest. Most people don’t even deviate from one brand. So they just choose the riding type front and rear tire from their preferred manufacturer. It is easy to get overwhelmed with choice when it comes to tires.
