Brian's Randoms: Rumors, Tech, & Insights from Taichung Bike Week 2026
I read your BRAIN post too, and I agree...I too would like to see all this tech and innovation go towards making bikes more affordable and available for more people. I wanted to know why we don't see more manufacturers making decent sub $1000 CAD mountain bikes, with droppers, good geo, good disk brakes with real rotors and pads and decent forks...so I used AI (so who knows how realistic it is, but at least it gave me an idea) to cost it out and wrote a post about it...It opened my eyes to the reality of it and how much tariffs and shipping costs really kill things. I think a decent alu hardtail at a super competitive price point would really do well, and I know Polygon and Marin and a few others do have some options, but I think more option are needed.

Tenet Refines Its Flat-Pedal Lineup With the Occult V3, Omen V3 & All-New Omen SL
The Deity Supervillains weigh 20g less than the SL and cost over $100USD less and are the best pedals I have used. I am sure these are great, but that is quite the price jump for an already pretty expensive pedal.
