Esker Releases Smokey Steel Hardtail Designed for a 160mm Fork
@tim-at-esker-cycles: this is why hardtail mfgers typically state the sag assumption in the geo table. Otherwise confusion always ensues.

First Ride: Spot Mayhem 140 - A Trail Bike With a Titanium Leaf Spring
435 mm CS in the XL — hard pass. Techy uphill climbs are so much better on a bike built for my height (6’3”). 445-450 is the sweet spot.

Video: Greg Callaghan Rips It Up on the New Ripmo
Weird. I read most of the comments & the takeaway was geo numbers seem fine other than the cost-cutting decision to keep the CS length short for the Lg and XL

First Look: Kona Process 153 & 134
Since the PB summary didn’t mention it, they’re using PF92 BB unfortunately. Kona’s social media had teaser shots this week & got an avalanche of negativity on the press fit BB.

First Look: Kona Process 153 & 134
I think the bigger point here is that one of the inherent advantages of a faux bar layout is that it’s well suited to an axle flip chip giving people a choice between, say, 435/445. But UDH screwed that up.

Dangerholm's New Sub-13-Pound Scott Scale is Probably the World's Lightest 29er - Eurobike 2024
I predict Shift By Wire (SBW) will take over the industry! So many advantages. The exorbitant cost will be worth it!

First Ride: Manitou's New R8 XC Fork
lol. It is indeed a link to skid loaders. Weird error. As for the Manitou Mezzer army out there (I’m one of them), I’m actually glad that pinkbike isn’t aware of how many good riders prefer it to the 38 or Zeb. It’s like owning a McLaren when all the b-list celebrities focus on Ferraris.

Review: Norco Range VLT - The Purple Plow
@JD81: thanks for this, I haven’t had my morning coffee but Mike’s comment about the freewheel doesn’t make sense to this engineer.
