Beyond Pedal Kickback: What's Really Causing Drivetrain Feedback?

This article represents some super intelligent analysis and dissection. I'm super impressed. I would be more likely to gain a modicum of understanding if the knowledge was illustrated by a video, but I understand how much more work and resources that would require. Thank you for the depth and sophisticated treatment of the subject matter. Well done.

Randoms Round 1: Made Bike Show 2026

I wish Kalshi was taking bets on whether 32fers are the future. I'm pretty sure it's a sure thing. The question is not "if?" but, "when?" I want the big brands to get the major growing pains sorted out so that when I buy one the geometry is as settled as can be (for our industry). My trails suit the idea, I was looking to go for less travel on my next bike, the weight is a non-issue (for me) and I love the idea of a smoother ride. My only concern was how quickly 36ers will eclipse 32fers.

Race Analysis: Mud Masterclass & A Dominant Win at the 2026 Leogang DH World Cup

I was and am beyond stoked for Finn. To have promise and take all the right steps and be denied any results is difficult. The character and persistence he showed by continuing to put in the work and trust his team was evident at the end of the race. His second taste of victory seems to be more hard-won than the first. I feel as though the viewer had the privilege of watching someone work toward a goal and express true gratitude and success after years of not seeing the needle move. I was and am very happy for Finn.

How come Wyatt Lisk isn't mentioned? He is the face of the brand as far as I'm concerned.
