The post mount disc tabs are set within the rear triangle to keep them away from panniers.

  • Merida's über-expensive Ninety-Six Team D now has less expensive aluminium cousins.
  • Merida has added a clean-looking floating disc brake mount to its higher-end One-Five-O and TransMission trail bikes.
  • Any negative braking effects on the TransMission's faux-bar rear end should mostly be eliminated with the new brake mount.
  • Rocky Mountain's new Altitude Carbon looks to be winner… as long as the patent lawyers don’t interfere.
  • Carbon, carbon everywhere.
  • The Altitude Carbon's carbon rocker arm features sealed cartridge bearing pivots all around.
  • Rocky Mountain still has to work out the final design but the carbon Altitude frames will apparently use an integrated seat binder design.
  • The Rocky Mountain Altitude 50's kinked down tube leaves plenty of room for a water bottle in the main triangle.
  • Rocky Mountain claims the Altitude's suspension design doesn't infringe on Specialized's Horst Link patent but we're not so sure.
  • Salsa showed off its new Fargo do-everything MTB tourer that has room for monster 29
  • The post mount disc tabs are set within the rear triangle to keep them away from panniers.
