Video: LeBron James & Canyon Bicycles Partner to Inspire a New Generation of Riders
Lebron has ridden his road bikes to games/practices. It's probably in his nba contract to not mountain bike, ski, snowboard, etc. If someone like him ever got hurt riding it would be a massive asset loss to the team and league. I would not be surprised if we see Lebron on a mountain bike when he retires and is free of contracts.

First Ride: The Wolf Tooth Resolve V2 is the Longest Dropper Post on the Market
Haha. 6'5 here with oneup 240s on both my bikes. I could easily go 270mm to have it slammed as low as possible.

Check Out: A Huge Fender, Soft Grips, a Unique HR Monitor & Affordable Knee Pads
My zip tie fender ripped off first lift up, even though I tested it in the village and seemed to fit fine. So no, not fixed. I have a weird super long and slack XXL bike so that likely had something to do with it.

OneUp Announces New Hubs
I have dt hubs on both of my bikes. My 350s are on their 10th season and seen many different bikes. The only thing I don't like about them is how damn hard it is to remove the lock ring to service the bearings (like once every 5 years years). Didn't think I'd ever use another hub but these might be it. Lighter, same ratchet mechanism, and no threaded lock ring to remove. And substantially cheaper than 240s here in Canada.

First Look: The 2025 Geometron G1 is More Adjustable & More Proportional
6'5 on the previous Gen g16 with 29s, all the mutators, and long shocked with a 170mm fork to make it pretty damn close to the current edition g1. Only thr BB is a bit higher. Any tall person should ride something this large with similar geo. Changes everything. But there are more options than ever for us tall folk. Transition and Specialized have 535mm reach options that can hold water bottles.

First Look: The 2025 Geometron G1 is More Adjustable & More Proportional
I have the g16 and can fit a 500ml bottle in front of the shock on the xl frame. But now with that weird brace thing, there's no chance at that. Great bike, love mine, but I wouldn't be buying a bike that can't fit a bottle these days.

First Look: The 2025 Geometron G1 is More Adjustable & More Proportional
Running a 476mm chainstay on my geometron g16 in dual 29er mode. I think with the similar mutators on this new G1 you could run close to 500mm chainstays. The mutator geometry charts are wild.

Pinkbike Poll: If Mountain Bikes Had Never Existed, Would You Still Be a Cyclist?
I commuted by bike when I lived in Vancouver and I really enjoyed it. Lots of bike streets, dedicated lanes, etc. Never felt at risk of being hit by a vehicle. Moved to interior BC city and almost died multiple times riding to work within a month. Zero bike infrastructure. I only mountain bike now and my road bike has sat on the trainer since 2017.
