Bike Check: Cesar Rojo's Avinox-Powered Unno Mith Commuter
@Kilian1b15Gt: The reason cars get away with 3-4 years is partially as there's a lot more fluid so takes more water to be an issue but mostly because your average car never get anywhere near boiling it's fluid, only repeated heavy braking will do it and if you drive like that, likely on track then i bet you're replacing fluid more often and using high performance fluid, or you should be, your average car is more like a commuter bike and gravity MTB is like track driving.

Bike Check: Cesar Rojo's Avinox-Powered Unno Mith Commuter
@Jtstar: attracts is probably the wrong word, moisture can build up in both systems it just mixes with DOT and sits below mineral oil as it's hydrophobic, just means you can get away with it for longer in DOT as it's gradual performance reduction rather than sudden if you manage to get water in mineral oil system, but it is unlikely to get water in mineral oil and hence usually longer service intervals.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Suffer From Arm Pump When Mountain Biking?
Only get it when pushing it on a long rough full race run (usually just Fort William) or when riding loads of runs day after day in the alps, now I'm older i rarely push it far enough for it to be an issue, just have more socialising breaks on rides.

Cannondale to Shut Down Factory Race Program After 2026 Season
@BiNARYBiKE: Just because your like minded buddies (who are likely all riding buddies because they're all similar) aren't into the racing scene doesn't mean it's not a big part of the MTB world and affect a lot of peoples choices, the sheer number of Scott sparks at the last XC race i went to (when Nino was still the main man) will attest to win on Sunday sell on Monday.

Cannondale to Shut Down Factory Race Program After 2026 Season
@rrolly: I suspect you weren't buying a DH or XC race bike though, alot of riders like yourself won't care because they buy what they like or get a good deal on to ride for fun, but there's also a huge race market, especially in XC and those people want what's fast, if you're not a racer then you probably don't see that side and are looking for a trail bike rather than XC bike, influencers might work better for that market, along with things like freeride like i mentioned but i can guarantee Cannondale's XC bike sales will slump, but maybe that's not their priority any more.

MTB influencers are cheaper than top level XC racers, although influencers may work in freeride, in XC where the clock is all that matters, people want proven race bikes, don't think this is a good move.

Could This Flipped Drivetrain Solution Be The Future of Mountain Biking?
So much negativity and nitpicking in here, we should be encouraging innovation and ideas that might improve drivetraines, it's not like normal derailiers are without flaws.

XC Tech Randoms II: 2026 South Korea XC World Cup
I have a soft spot for the Spark (i have a 2018 one) and i really like this new one, thank you Scott for being different and not following the default XC layout, but for what it's worth my feedback is please steepen up your seat-tube angles and stop it with the huge stem for integrated cables that just lets water in your frame and headset.

Day Two Randoms: FSA Riva Bike Festival 2026
@spencer81: and even if someone was inclined to avoid the big 2, there's so many more great reputable options like Cane creek, Formula, DVO, Ohlins, Intend, EXT, even SR Suntour.
