MRP Teases the Otto - A 38mm Coil Fork
Isn't it technically an air damper if the air is released during rebound? Just something to think about

Schwalbe Reveals New Romy Tire, UltraSoft Compound & Radial Tacky Chan
In case you need another data point, I've been running that combo since the fall, and at first, the Albert wasn't great in the deep dust over hard pack, but then it became great for "winter" riding. Super predictable in hero dirt. I live in a dry area where conditions are ideal in or right after rain. My tires are holding up well so I see them holding through summer, but by then I'll be wishing for more bite in the rear like from this new TC. Albert is a bit draggy too. Not as much as MM, but I would assume more than TC.

SDG Releases New ‘Open Core’ Thrice Grips
Favorite grips. I wire them on but they're grippy enough I probably shouldn't need to

Magura Gustav Brake Review: Plenty of Power, It's Just Not Immediately Available
@nerdymtbiker: We're your Magura originals race (gold) pads? Just curious. I found the individual race pads substantially better than the combined performance pads that came with my MT5s. Wouldn't mind a bit more power and have been considering Galfers

Gravity Components Launches New 3D-Printed Titanium Brake & Dropper Post Levers
Wish these aftermarket lever makers would post the length. Even though these wouldn't make sense for me, I'd love MT5 levers with the same length as the stock 2-finger, but with the same ergonomic features as the 1-finger HC.

The 2026 Polygon Collosus T Isn’t Perfect, But Holds Its Own Against Bikes Twice the Price
The OEM MT7s don't come with gold pads? I don't think I've seen metallic magura pads

Where is Mountain Bike Culture Headed?
In BC MTB is the new golf in the sense that it's a new thing to do on client outings.
