Just saw this on MBR... The new Scalpel XC / Downcountry (WTF does that mean... :unsure:) has come out sporting a “Horst-ish” 4-bar linkage. They’ve dispensed with the chainstay pivot completely and done this... :oops: I know Cannondale have often pushed the boundaries in the past (the Lefty...

Probably not huge news here compared to what it will mean to many of our roadie colleagues, but Strava are shaking up their service and going all in on subscriptions to try and become profitable... https://www.strava.com/subscription/from-our-founders...

One for the experienced mechanics here, calling @Gary... ;) I am converting my daughters 26” wheel MTB to 1x, but it currently has a worn one-piece Altus triple crank in the front which will need to go. I believe they are for a square taper BB, but before I bought the new crank I thought I’d...

Looks like Fazua finally got the message their clunky remote needed an update, though I am not sure the touch sensitive bit is really optimal for an eMTB. Still, at least it has a push button rain mode so you can change the power levels in typical UK conditions! At the end they also talk...

I am going tomorrow... Hoping to get a go on one of the new Gen 4 Bosch bikes, see that elegant new Kinesis Rise hardtail and ogle the new Whyte's too. Oh, and Sir Martyn of Ashton is talking too. Should be fun!

...when it's the new Marin Mount Vision, which seems to be taking the whole stealth ebike thing from the opposite end - it looks like an ebike, but is actually analog! Not completely new I know (the Wolf Ridge and Polygons all use the same NAILD suspension design), but on this the chainstay...

Worth watching to see Steve enter the pain cave alone ;) - up... ...and down (with Mr Vouilloz being rather more successful)...

It's an open secret they have a range of ebikes in development, but it appears Whyte have moved into F1 with the Haas team!

Suspect this is a question for @Gary... 2018 was my first full year back on 2 wheels since Uni over 15 years ago. I rode my 120mm FS trail bike, then at the end of autumn got a gravel bike for staying fit through the winter; whilst I would always prefer to take out the MTB cleaning pivots in...

Courtesy of Deity components, Joel Anderson shredding a Kenevo - location unknown (Revolution bike park maybe?)... Edit - This was apparently filmed at Tirpentwys trails near Pontypool.

Moterra NEO | Trail | eMTB | E-Bikes | Cannondale 130mm rear, 140mm forks, Bosch Powertube integrated battery and much nicer to look at than their previous ugly duckling. Not sure it is going to satisfy @Gary in the geometry stakes though with 457mm chain stays and a 68 degree head angle...

Thought I would write a mini report on all things electrical that I saw at the show yesterday. Unfortunately it's more of a story of who wasn’t there… EMTB absences Whilst there were plenty of EMTBs on show, almost none of the big newly announced bikes were there. There was no Haibike...

Self explanatory thread... Anyone going to the Cycle Show at the w/e? I am going on Sunday; it should be good (certainly was last year) though I am not sure any of the most anticipated ebikes of 2019 (the Levo, Lapierre EZesty or Haibike Flyon) will be there. Still Cube and Canyon are definitely...

I rather like these affordable hard tails, and the geo numbers look pretty good too. Shame Marin have not done an FS too, though... Marin Nail Trail E range

Not an MTB, but here's another new Fazua powered e-bike, this time in the gravel/adventure genre with 650b wheels and chunky gravel tyres. It's got a bonkers (presumably prototype) paint job too: "Cairn Cycles e-adventure bike first ride impressions There are next to no photos of me on the...

Newcomer to this forum, currently ride a 120mm full suss non-ebike and a gravel bike, but after trying my Dads Trek Powerfly HT recently can see an ebike in my medium term future. Will probably wait until there are more lightweight options similar to the newly announced eZesty from Lapierre...
