2026 Sea Otter Downhill Results: A First Win for a 32" Mega Mullet Bike
Anyone know the story with the fork? I guess a benefit of inverted forks with no bridge is the ability to run huge wheel diameters like this, but that Podium must have taken a fair bit modification to reduce the travel down to below 100-120mm, as that looks to be all the clearance between the tire and crown.

Pinkbike Poll: When Did You Last Break a Chain?
Only chain I broke was a Shimano, and that was because I didn't have a breakaway pin or quick link when shortening it, so I pressed a used pin back into it like I grew up doing. It came apart on the next ride on a punchy climb, but I pressed it back together when a passing stranger had a chain tool and it got me back to the car.

Must Watch: Vinny T Attempts One of the Biggest MTB Drops Ever
@llama-life: The math should be relatively easy, but it means nothing if the inputs (angles, distances and speed) aren't accurate. You would certainly need a surveyor on hand to ensure it matches the calculations, and the rider would need to be able to match the calculated speed, which is certainly easy to do with any old bike computer, but I imagine focusing on the numbers on a screen is much easier said than done (mentally), when approaching something this crazy.

The floating handlebar seems kind of pointless if the brake lever can't mount to the floating part. It seems like it would be rather unnerving to you have your grips move independently of your brake levers. Easy fix, but, seems like a massive oversight for the prototype.

The riding is no surprise from Goldstone at this point. What gets me is he's able to go that fast on his second lap, while still having enough reserve mental capacity to clearly and calmly narrate the whole way down. He made it through a full sentence from the take off ramp to touchdown on the big gap.

First Ride: Devinci's New Troy Carbon
@shift9ears: I'm thinking about trading my 2021 for the new aluminum and downsizing from XL to L. Any positive or negative impressions worth mentioning? Aside from the Pinkbike trailbike shootout, I couldn't find any critical reviews that didn't just read like an ad.

Pinkbike Poll: Which of These Boutique MTBs Would You Actually Buy?
@Compositepro: Much of this is due to carbon fiber's exceptional ability to disintegrate on impact, absorbing a lot of energy. This makes for great impact structures on a cars, but I wouldn't tout that as a selling feature on bikes.
Lets not forget that every roll cage in every other racing series is still made with some alloy of steel.
