Possibly the most game changing technology seen in cycling since disc brakes.
Is there another Tech rumor forum that doesn't get censored out there?
(psssst...gibbon is trolling...and it's hilarious).

That would be the infamous comment section of The Other Site, the well-known Home of Wisdom. Initiation is simple procedure: it looks like a Session and is filtered by Levyathan Waterbottle Mounts. Then you need to laugh and thumbs-up at command, except for posts of that smarter Swedish-Polish dude who leads the pack. Rare blessings come with drawn corgis and Poles of critique and of course, crowd-funded modern hardtail start-ups.

This forum is famously evil and is censoring everybody; I pity us! :D

I don't necessarily want to perpetuate my shitty attempt at trolling and being funny, but I looked it up and everything related to the dude was deleted. I am just blown away... Honestly now, I love this forum over here, cheers Spomer! And speaking of censorship and MTBR, I remember how I wrote an extensive review about my absolutely crap Hope Mono Mini brakes, circa 2005, and found out, to my surprise, that it was deleted. Why, I can't understand. Oh, well...

I can't remember which one, but I've recently listen to a podcast or a Facebook live where Commencal's DH team manager said that they were all riding Supreme mullets since a little while and loving it... Good thing from them to offer their DH bike in multiple wheel size configurations and please everyone.

Possibly for the furious, but I'm not sure Dartmoor would be pissed about more exposition on Vital for a new product launch. Leaks are a common marketing practise these days after all...

Here's the backstory on WAKI's disappearance from PB. He specifically asked the two moderators monitoring the "Race & Accessibility" article to be removed from the site. I think his actual words were "pull the plug" or something like that.

instead of censoring, we'll just add e-bike stuff here as retaliation. HA! New Bosch CX ebike motor updates and it's actually pretty interesting b/c the bosch motor/battery/interface is already one of the best.

Should we just set up a communal Google photos album for censored images? Because otherwise I feel like it defeats the whole purpose of this forum.

If brands are gonna make the stuff available online before launch or they have leaks, that’s not our problem. And if we put it up and vital gets asked to take it down, that’s ok too imo, but if vital starts removing stuff of their own accord then the purpose of this thread is null and void.

Otherwise just start posting the stuff on a reddit forum and link it here 😂

Since Vital is both a publication and a forum host, there is a fine line between editorial content with embargos and cool rumors. They are actually responsible for the content on this entire site, and if embargoed info is leaked on this site, it can backfire to the site, and they lose reputation in the industry. Is that ok? (yes, I like all rumors, and if manufacturers make their unreleased stuff available on hidden pages without password protection, the joke is on them, actually, but if they are aware of their doodoo, they should also be able to fix it.)

Being butthurt is not helping anyone, and it turns this forum into another "forum"/comment section not to be mentioned.

I am not a hacker, nor a programmer, however I found the commencal images only changing certain characters from the latest released releases. It was a tedious task, which gave me a lot of surprise, but I see that with the passing of the days it became a problem for Vital and a butthurt for the industry and for some sensitive to this information.
My apologies to the affected staff and those who do not like to see these kinds of surprises.

Loam Ranger posting from kicking horse. He rides for Ibis and that looks like a Bartlett on the blacked out frame.... Bigger 29 bike from Ibis? Aluminum HD5?
