You can still get 2.3 Minions, Schwalbe still has Magic Mary, Conti has some of their new tires in 26

Nah. Full 29 feels like Im a passenger, lacking nuance and playfulness. 26 is a bit too sketchy and catches too many edges/holes. But 27.5 and mullets are perfect, great balance of stability when I need it but can flick the rear out precisely when I want it to.

Yeti Files Patent for Rotary Suspension System
I'd imagine a hex axle system like Manitou uses on their forks would do the trick. Maybe add a pinch bolt for a bit of security/clamping.

Race Analysis: Breaking Down the Numbers from Red Bull Hardline BC 2026
@gangster-jacob: Id agree there is time left out there 'in theory', but in the practical real-world execution of a race like this, I don't know how much more there is available. By pacing the top and leaving enough energy to dominate the super physical traverse sections, he built a nearly unbeatable gap by sector 4, which he continued to extend to the finish. Once everyone can stomp the features, this race became about energy management and average top-speed.

Race Analysis: Breaking Down the Numbers from Red Bull Hardline BC 2026
@jwdenver: Winner gets $15K USD and everyone gets an appearance fee of $2,700 USD. So Asa is walking with $17,700 for the weekend. In contrast, a World Cup win only pays $4,200 USD, so he'd have to win four UCI races to equal what he just made. WCDH racers don't make that much in comparison to SX/MX, so that amount of money is definitely a motivator.

Final Randoms: Whistler World Cup DH 2026
I saw a comment on another post confirming a spectator went down in the rock garden. Sounded pretty bad, potentially broken neck is what they said? At first I thought it was Remi Thirion because he never came down, but apparently he was a DNS after a practice crash.

@makripper6: For most people its the opposite - the Zeb is TOO rampy and they want it more linear.

The Aventon Current eMTB Offers Serious Performance at Half the Price
My advice to brands like Aventon and Amflow - SELL FRAME ONLY!!! You've done the hard work of building a cutting-edge drive unit and then having a frame manufactured around it. I like the affordable build kits, but don't force an enthusiast customer to buy cheap parts that they won't use. Offer the carbon frame at $4K range and you will sell a lot of them. Many consumers have nice parts from other bikes laying around, or you could part swap a regular bike to an Ebike frame. The new Intense Tazer will be available this way at $6K and Im stoked to see another option besides the $9K S-Works Levo frame.
