Zerode Releases New Shadow Gearbox Trail & Enduro Bikes
I feel some of the engagement issue could be solved by not having a rear hub with pawls and springs. There is a freewheel in the gearbox No? Why isn't there a solid rear hub? Waiting for two freewheels to engage seams silly. Not that Pinion couldn't improve the gearboxe's engagement as well.

A Brief History of Gearbox Mountain Bikes
I still haven't seen a rear disc brake hub without a freewheel which means you have to wait till two sets of pawls engage.
Why isn't there a solid rear disc hub option?
I have a front freewheel mid motor Ebike with a fast engaging rear hub.
You know what's better than a fast engaging hub?
A solid instant engaging hub.
Seams a no brainer to me.

Check Out: A 6 Kg Belt-Drive Bike, Cushy Bike Trailer, Magnetic Goggles, Fall Lights, Gloves & Pants
I need a full suspension dog trailer for a decent size trail dog. If a dog overdoes it chasing bunnies or injures itself, or to ride to the trail head so the dog is fresh.
Single wheel but without the risk to the tail.

Adolf Silva Confirms Serious Spinal Injury After Rampage Finals Crash - Fundraiser Launched
I can't believe he is alive at all.
I was sure he died when I rewound the replay on .25 speed.
I feel guilty for loving double flips.
I hate it when they are underscored because of how dangerous they are.
Silva, Reynolds and Andreu became my favourite riders because of this trick. Testa and Rogatkin get barely a bump in score when they throw them while Watts, Bas and Bizet were similarly not rewarded. They are throwing triples in BMX comps now.
Half of me thinks they should be marked down to discourage them and the other half thinks that anyone who does one especially variations or new setups (like this one off a drop) should automatically win.

Red Bull Rampage 2025 Men's Final Results
The only thing harder to decide was who had the most beautiful other half waiting in the corral. These guys are slaying it in more ways than one.

Red Bull Rampage 2025 Men's Final Results
@nilswalk: Reed to Riddle was impossible to separate for me.
TVS first TG 2nd Rookie or Lem third.
I'll have to watch the replays but there was very little in it.
Isted was robbed the most but I am biased.

[UPDATE] Adolf Silva Sustains Serious Spinal Injury Following Double Flip Crash at Rampage
@plyawn: he over rotated the single flip in practice.
He knew the pull needed and it was well within his ability.
We all knew as soon as he left the lip that he wouldn't make it.
Pitbulls will be Bulldogs he's got no quit in him.
Any other rider would have ejected.
I for sure thought he was dead.
Sam Reynolds and others have returned to ride after breaking their necks on Double Backflip attempts.
I so hope he does the same.
Double Backflips are always under scored compared to the risk. Maybe to discourage them.

5 eMTB Motors Ridden & Rated for 2025: Bosch vs DJI vs Shimano vs SRAM vs Specialized
@Justfucnsmash: my $2600 ebike kit motor can beat up all these motors with decades old tech. 4000 W and 90NM and do well over 25km/h.

First Look: Kona Process 153 & 134
@Keegansamonster: My 2019 Process 153 has 420 stays and I wish it was as playful as an Entourage when it had 415 CS.
Way better Allround bike though.
Stability vs fun should have two geo options.

I waited till they went out of fashion and picked up a used one cheap.
Insert all MTB gear for they and repeat adnauseum.
I mostly use it for guinea pigging.
