Vorsprung Announces Smashpot Coil Conversion Kits for Öhlins RFX36 m.2

It the VS coil conversion a better handling system than the stock coil? I'll assume it is with the longer spring, weight be damned. And if it is, are there any plans for a conversion for the MRP Ribbon?

Tinker Juarez Announces Split with Cannondale in Now Deleted Social Media Post

He still kills it in the pro class in all the Southern California series and single day races and I'd bet SC is Cannondale's biggest market, although I haven't owned a Cannondale since the late 80's. I shy away from manufacture propriatary components.

The Moorhuhn is an Additive Manufactured Frame Hoping To ‘Make Steel Sexy Again’

@threehats: I had two frames I designed and had built back before long, low and slack was a thing. Both had six inches of travel. The steel front end was fillet brazed and weighed six oz more but rode better than the frame with the AL front end. While the AL front end was stiff, the steel front end could be led into turns. It was heavily gusseted but had that give that steel frames are known for, not to be confused with flex.

Bike Check: Isak Leivsson's Homemade Steel Downhill Bike

@makripper: In 2006, I desined a low long and slack bike with a 24"TT made from Prestige. It had a little too much lateral give but a couple gussets fixed that and it was a ton of fun to lead into turns.
