Video: Danny MacAskill Explores Exposed Ridgelines in Norway
@pedrujo: So to you this isn't a bicycle. That's fine. People can like more than one thing. People can like different things. Did this video or Danny's trip in some way genuinely hurt you? Or are you just butt hurt?

First Ride: Atherton A.150 M - Titanium Lugs, Carbon Tubes, & 22 Sizes
@VorsprungSuspension: Yes. Or even better let people buy the rear and front lengths they want, so the long chainstay guys can go long and the short chainstay guys can go short

Looks lovely, but 120mm of reach variation (+29%) and 10mm of chainstay (2%). Sadface

Randoms Round 3: Made Bike Show 2026
@Ih8Hondas: Banjo's are the biggest (avoidable) air trap in the system, adding more is questionable. But it's still a very appealing end result and the stiffness should feel lovely IF you can ever bleed it properly...

Agreed. Got to wonder about that slit. Putting a slit in a tube essentially destroys it's torsional stiffness, but putting it right next to two huge braces going back to the seat-tube makes at least the lower half pointless, so it has probably done "bugger all" (technical term) except create a big stress point at the top end of the slit.

Check Out: Flexible Flats, Alt Grips, a Geo-Adjust Saddle, & More
Grips that are £37, Seats that are 130E ? These parts should be way less than this. The Chinese are coming for the bike industry and this kind of thing is propping the door wide open.

Motion Engineering Unveil the World’s Lightest 120mm Suspension Fork
Bravo, linkage forks that use a stock shock seems like a great idea to me. Hope it sells well. I too will be waiting for something with more travel and the axle path the other way round (rearward then up).

First Ride: The Odyssey Optis is a Tunable Tire Insert
@dissend: Anytime. I was supposed to come ride Bellingham with Taj this year after Sea Otter but pinched a nerve in my neck the week before. Hoping to get out there one day. The digressive nature of tyres is a big part of the reason for OPTIS so I think you would really appreciate being able to tune some progression in there.

Review: Zink Vacay - The Responsive Freestyle Specialist
Testify. Short chainstays aren't everyonels cup of tea but they ARE some people's cup of tea and they are MY cup of tea. Currently riding a specialized with stays cut down to 417 and considering going shorter with a 26" rear wheel.

First Ride: The Odyssey Optis is a Tunable Tire Insert
@dissend: Run-flat is very limited with OPTIS. The main benefit is that you can keep the bike under control following a tyre failure rather than careering into a tree. You should get plenty of time to bring the bike to a safe halt. But, if your tyre is fully flat and you press on at full pace the OPTIS bladder is likely to pull off the valve and you will then be unsupported. With a slow puncture, where there is still a little air in the tyre, you should be able to ride out gently for a good distance though rather than having the tyre burp the last of it's air and leave you stranded.
Hope this helps clarify, and thanks for the interest.
