Knolly Shows Off Prototypes for Future Bikes - Eurobike 2022

As long as the rear post mount isn't 160, decently steep seat post angle on the 138 Fugitive, and this comes out in the next 1.5 years, count me in. Never had an issue with my 2016 Carbon Warden. Great bikes, but the frame styling was a bit out of date.

Muc-Off's Clever New Product Allows You to Hide an Apple AirTag in Your Wheel

Pretty sure last time I checked the FRAME is worth more than the WHEELS. Do your homework!

Now Finished: Ask Us Anything with Pinkbike's Tech & News Editors

High pivots? What's the overall consensus from the team for trail bikes currently or future trail bike potential? Should this be a pursued set up or likely a fad?

First Look: Lal Bikes' Supre Drivetrain Splits The Derailleur In Half Before It Happens On the Trail

First of all, smoked by the Canadians again !?!. I'm a previous Knolly and current Druid owner, and already spend too much time trailside explaining my thing for BC bikes. Now this...

Knolly Bikes Suing Intense for Alleged Patent Infringement

I like Knolly bikes a lot. However, I think this suit is pushing to say that the infringement is regarding the bottom bracket with the straight seat tube positioned behind it, which is a very Knolly trait (for which they took a lot of flak for having "ugly" bikes). However, the patent doesn't seem to focus on that particular aspect. I don't fault Knolly for the suit; Pivot appears to be taking the design, and did this righteously so because the Knolly patent is unfortunately as clear as Canadian snow.

And to think Chris did all that on a "noodle" of a Pike.... blasphemy!

Updated With Video: Forbidden Bike Company's New Longer Travel Bike

@sspiff: Torn grips have no place on my bike. Also - 1) keep your brakes in top shape. 2) tire mismatch to terrain is gambling 3) and almost most importantly: wear shorts that FIT. Laying back over the seat, I've had many times my Fox shorts (baggy and with open buttonless zipper) caught on the rear of the seat. Baggy MTB shorts sure are cool...when your crotch is torn open in the emergency room. I cold go on, but honor thy 'nads.

Damaged floppy grip end (exposing carbon) direct to the crotch from off camber over-the-bars was enough for a Friday night emergency room visit and surgery to the pouch. Weirdest shit happens on the mildest mistakes.
