Check Out: Very Light Backswept Bars, A High-Rise Stem & The Dakine Slayer Helmet
Depending on whether you roll it vertically or in line with the head angle, a 60mm rise bar either lengthens the effective stem length or shortens the reach of the bike, it's not some magic solution that increases stack while keeping everything else the same

First Look: Actofive's I-Train is the First Production 32" Wheel Trail Bike
Surprised they didn't go superboost. It's not like anyone has a 148 boost 32 inch wheel laying around they want to be able to swap over. Seems like 157 makes sense if you're starting with a clean slate

Video: Brendan Fairclough Builds & Rides a Huge Treehouse Line
Didn't some rando ride his line after the event? And during the event Brendog said none of the other competitors would be able to ride his line, which is clearly bs because some rando rode it two weeks later?

@DoubleCrownAddict: thanks for sharing. This rapey image made me rule them out instantly: https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/20058412/
No YT for me

Spotted: The KTM Sixty-Four 32" Hardtail - Lenzerheide World Cup 2025
@Jprestidge: 5 years ago the full 29ers were quicker... than the 27.5 bikes at the time. Not many folks were testing mullets at the time. Which now seems to be the go to. So it went full 27.5 > full 29 > mullet. Or at least that is how I remember things

Spotted: Hope's New GR4 Brakes - Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2025
After trying a lot of brakes (mavens, trps, dominion a4, code, shimano 4 piston xt) I haven't found anything I like more than the tech4 v4. But the bleed process & lever shape are the two things that bug me. If they address those two things without messing up the rest, I'm sold.

Review: The New Pivot Firebird is Well Balanced & Refined
@privateer-wheels: gotcha - although flange spacing isn't determined by the spec is it? Seems like all the hub manufacturers are choosing to make their flanges on SB hubs as wide as possible on the NDS (and, it goes without saying, the DS as well). If it leads to a weaker wheel, why is that?
