First Ride: The Shuvl eMTB Can Work With Any Motor, But at What Cost?

concept is great, but i have never liked the "fat belly, precrashed" down tube angles on any bike. needs a single downtube, and a straight line from the BB/Shock mount to the bottom of the head tube.

Intend Teases WonderNipple Concept

never use aluminium nipples guys, please. If you feel its a common ennough issue to drop a nipple into the rim, you could just put a tiny o-ring over each nipple, to hold it in place?

No More Tiny Spacers: Shimano Finally Releases 200mm Rotors

so its the "anything but the metric system" american company, who have to dick about with the standard to be awkward, meaning the rest move ove to metric. Gotcha. Mostly pointless anyway, as the braking track surface width varies from brake to brake

You Can Now 3D Print Your Own Professional MTB Bearing Press Tools

dunno about "innovation", but i have wondered why the likes of orange havent just upped the bearings to big fat bois that never need replacing (or put two on each side, that might help too)

You Can Now 3D Print Your Own Professional MTB Bearing Press Tools

Brilliant stuff. 3D printing doing EXACTLY what it should be doing, not making stupid floppy dragons. I love the idea of a bike shop having a printer on the team, and being able to print custom presses. This would be a great option for getting bearings out of funny shaped frames. I recall my Giant Reign being a bit of a pain to get the bearings out of, because the bearing housing was a weird cuvy shape and basically impossible to support. I ended up chipping a load of paint off the first time i ham fisted it. TBH i could see Momentum building a who business solely around designing 3d files for all the weird and wonderful proprietary tools needed to service modern bikes properly.

Clever and Curious Bike Mods At The Bespoked Handmade Bike Show

Oh Cy. Youve function-over-formed it again. the old Jeht Shape, the droplink, looked a bit different, a really great looking bike. Im sure the new one rides well, and now has space for a bottle, but it looks like every mid 2000s trail bike
