Stephane's Randoms Part 3: Sea Otter 2026
Oh it's much worse than that.
That 2007 Norco Shore is locked to the chainlink wires, not the upright post.
Sidecutters, tinsnips or maybe even some sharp fingernail clippers could get through that.
Free bike, wheel and free lock.

Video: Jack Moir Compares 3 of his World Enduro Race-Winning Bike Setups
I love this type of content too.
It's good to hear about the older bikes after using them for a few years, what works and what doesn't.
Sizing down makes a lot more sense for his reasons about racing, but not for most people who want to use it for everyday riding and at bike parks.

@boozed: The mic was ok until Jack pinned it onto his collar. The same when he's holding it at 15:30, but the fuzzy cover blocks wind noise and won't do much for him inside. If he can't adjust the gain or the compressor he should do a sound check with the mic in an appropriate place (ie pinned lower down) then don't move it. Holding it isn't good either cos it's picking up noise from movement or touching the foam cover.

Shimano Patent Reveals a Co-Axial Brake Mount
My 2022 Norco Range has a separate rear brake mount that is almost identical to this patent filing.
I don't see how this patent should be granted when so many other bikes have done this before.
It looks like Norco did that for a different reason though. They have adjustable chainstay lengths via the aluminium chainstay extender piece, but use the same size chainstay carbon peice for every size of bike. They made a disc brake mount piece that fixes off the axle and part of the aluminium chainstay extender piece.

First Look: Polygon Collosus T - Aggressive Bike, Impressive Price
This might be one of the frame layouts that doesn't pass side loading through the yoke to the shock, because the front triangle is braced to the rear triangle by the 2 links.
Pinkbike, can you look at this in your Field Test?

The chainstays are very short on the XL size. So is the seat tube length, especially if it only has 200mm insertion depth (claimed). That may really limit how much drop you can run on the XL. The stack is low but can be addressed with high rise bars or stem spacers.
Great for anyone shorter though, although a mullet would make more sense for those sizes. I'm really looking forward to the field test review. A VPP bike without a ridiculous price and a leverage ratio to run coil or air. Sounds fantastic.

Release Layer System Puts Canyon Deflectr Trail Helmet at #1 in Virginia Tech Safety Rankings
One big positive with this helmet is it's easy to know when you should replace the helmet. I've had a lot of small crashes where I've kept running the helmets. A small knock from branches etc could release the panels and RLSlayer haven't published a minimum release impact force. Maybe they should to quiet the detractors, otherwise a lot of people are probably going to sit on the fence until its been out for a while.
Hopefully they put it in a budget helmet like the Specialized Tactic or a cheap fullface.
