Tech Randoms II: 2026 La Thuile DH World Cup
The wear items will probably be used up in training. Including tyres (unless glued on, wth?)
At least that’s what the EWS teams did.

Belt Drives, Droppers, & Toddler Boardrooms: The 9 Cutest Kids' Bikes of Eurobike 2026
It’s hitched to a carbon roadbike and shod with road tyres. Maybe it’s intended to only ever move on pristine asphalt.

Is the UCI World Cup Prize Money Model Broken? Wyn Masters Exposes Payout Disparities
@EvolutionMTBer: There is an overwhelming body of scientific evidence that high unionisation rates increase wages and working conditions across the entire economy.
Some young, egotistical high-achievers may be better off not unionised, for a while. But as they age, even they are likely to benefit.

Mille Johnset Shares Footage of HUGE Practice Crash at Loudenvielle DH World Cup
To be pedantic: „Viking“ is not a people or geographical origin. It was a job description for part-time naval raiders.
Still hard as nails, though.

Spotted: Hope 6-Piston Brake Calipers on Tuhoto-Ariki Pene's Zerode - 2026 South Korea DH World Cup
@fracasnoxteam: That doesn’t seem logical at all. Piston surface area is what matters. The shape and split of that area not so much.
Why would 10 very small pistons have less power but more modulation than 4 large ones with equal surface area?

€100K Still Unclaimed: The Belted Purse Returns for 2026
Yea, the prize has gone unclaimed for so long that inflation has eaten into it substantially.
It might end up like those 18th century pirate treasures that turn out being shares in a long defunct company, denominated in a currency that is no longer valid.

SRAM Quietly Releases Eagle S-Series Drivetrains That Are Not T-Type
@fpeterHUN: That’s not how commodity tech works. Development costs are long amortised and production gets cheaper over time. There is absolutely no reason this stuff is more expensive than GX other than a failed, concentrated market and pure greed.

CushCore Debuts $299 Rotary Tire Tool for 'Radically Fast' Changes
@lkubica: Insert use may have declined in proper MTB. But inserts have become quite popular with gravel riders. The kind of riders who spare no pain, cost or effort to mutate their gravel bike into a worse hardtail MTB.

First Ride: The Santa Cruz Nomad 7 Gets Slightly Slacker and Slimmer
Not al lot of meaningful progress in bike tech at the moment. All bikes are good, most are pretty similar.
Companies change stuff for the sake of change.
Nothing inherently bad about that, just the sign of a mature hobby. Check back in a couple of years. Maybe by then, some new tech might have sparked innovation again.

Schwalbe Reveals New Romy Tire, UltraSoft Compound & Radial Tacky Chan
From the looks of it, they just fused the Betty and old Tacky Chan together to make the revamped Tacky Chan. Which is probably fine, should be a decent replacement.
