Michelin Explains the Tech Differences Between Racing Line & Performance Line Tires
@nicoenduro: I think the rolling speed is part of Michelin's tread and casing design for off road use. I have some Pilot Pump Competition tires and they are the fastest rolling tires I have used in a skatepark by far. but even Michelin xc treads like the pilot slope (which uses the old xc tread no longer made) are unusually thick casing and slow rolling.

Kazimer's Randoms Round II: China Cycle Show 2026
@sp00n82: @sp00n82: Translating from Chinese to English is hard enough. The chinese digital torque wrench I bought is nearly as accurate as a snap on but 1/10th the price. What original name did they choose for the company? Suercup. Pronounce that and realize how bad an idea the name was. Copying can save some embarassment in translation.

Kenda Announces New Dagger XC / Trail Tires
Anyone know if Kenda changed their casing and bead? I have blown out or gotten a wobble in every Kenda except like 2 of them that I have owned.

Atherton Bikes Launch New 3D-Printed Titanium Cranks
Hey, if they don't ever break, that is more time riding rather than repairing. Your bike might not be faster, but you will be.

Vee Tire Co. Rolls Out Three Radial Tires for Gravity Bikes
@dantecusolito: The albert radials really are not bad on fast dusty hardpack at all. They give more feedback at the limit and respond well to small corrections, but they aren't really any less grippy in it. They are certainly not point and shoot in dust.

How Did an Unreleased Next-Generation RockShox Boxxer End Up on eBay?
@gearbo-x: man it says Lineair XL. It's clearly an integrated dual negative spring like the Vorsprung Secus just direct from Rockshox.

Review: The 2026 Propain Hugene is Light, Responsive, & Polarizing
The stuck to the ground front end is possibly a function of Rockshox's choice in fork damper tune. As a lighter rider, I have cut the CST value of the fork oil by about 65% on my Charger 2.0 Pike and added about 50% more shims to the rebound stack to get low speed rebound nearly fast enough and high speed rebound under control. The shock tune just needs the high speed rebound to match the front to keep the bike matched and stable.

Specialized Works with AliExpress & Chinese Law Enforcement to Seize Over $1.6 Million in Counterfeit Goods
Did it on an Orbea Oiz knockoff/discarded proto mold. The geniune Rockshox Sid World Cup Carbon steerer cracked first (for the fourth time, though at least this time it made sense why). Though the frame no longer can hold any fork without rocking back and forth.
