Downhill Tech Randoms III: Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2026
The problem I see with those is the great sliding force on the stem clamp. They may rotate.

First Look: The Mondraker Anark is a Dual-Link Aluminum Freeride Bike
It's quite disputable that long stays are beneficial for racing. You are just transferring traction from the rear to the front, which is something that can be done with the body instead, but by extending the chainstays you are limiting how much weight you are able to put on the rear wheel, unless you lift the front off the ground. I mean this in abstract. For a very long reach there migth actually be such a thing as too short chainstays, but that's more about basic geometry than preference.

Race Report: Connor Fearon Wins Australian National DH Round 4 on a 20-Year-Old Iron Horse
What bells and whistles? Plenty of excellent carbon 26" bikes. The only issue is the geometry.

Review: The New Marin Alpine Trail is More Adjustable & Capable Than Ever
"£5,225 RRP of the Transmission-equipped Marin" What is this about? Why pounds when everything else appears in dollars? I don't even see how this relates to the mentioned price of $5,399 USD for this bike.

Canyon Patent Shows Adjustable Main Pivot & Anti-Squat
The graphic makes no sense because the lower pivot positions are referenced to the higher anti-squat lines, which isn't the way it works. Higher pivot=higher anti-squat.

SRAM Quietly Releases Eagle S-Series Drivetrains That Are Not T-Type
@englertracing: Really? Maybe you should have changed the chain more often, or used a 38t. You are also sprinting a lot on your downhills! I am hardly seeing places to pedal on the DH races I have been doing this season.

The Ride 886 TopHat Adds a Two-Stage Air Spring to Fox Forks - Taipei Cycle Show 2026
@Mac1987: Or maybe it was just a reshiming job. Sorry, that was a few years ago so my memory is vague.

The Ride 886 TopHat Adds a Two-Stage Air Spring to Fox Forks - Taipei Cycle Show 2026
@Mac1987: I find the difference quite noticeable. The hands get more of a beating on the Mezzer. I heard about an aftermarket damper that might have improved this.

SRAM Quietly Releases Eagle S-Series Drivetrains That Are Not T-Type
@englertracing: I encountered the problem you mention with a 30t, but they last decently with a 32t and above, both because you won't use the 9t as much and because there will be less torque transmitted through the chain. With 32t and above, it's the larger cogs that die first. So I'm not into 9t cogs as a way to reduce the chainring, but just to get a faster gear.

@rltw2-14: I have had that and realized that 30t chainrings wear down the cassette too fast. I don't understand why Shimano doesn't do a 9-51 if it can do a 9-45, it's bizarre.
