- BIKERUMOR.COMCrankbrothers Updated Highline Dropper is Lighter, Smoother, and More Adjustable.Crankbrothers has been making its Highline dropper posts for quite a while now, but they havent been meaningfully updated in quite a few years. That changes today, with the introduction of the new Highline, an evolved, refined, and redesigned dropper post thats made for every rider, every trail, every day. Crankbrothers says the new Highline is lighter, smoother, and more reliable, with shorter insertion depths, all of the sizing options, and adjustable travel for the perfect fit.The new Highline was designed to evolve, improve, and simplify our dropper post platform. By reducing insertion length, refining performance, and adding features like internal travel adjustment, weve made it easier for riders to maximize drop and achieve the best possible for for their bike and body.-Andy Hilliard, Product Line DirectorCrankbrothers Highline DetailsThe new Highline looks a lot like most other droppers on the market, as well as its predecessors, the Highline 3 and Highline 7. But Crankbrothers assures us it is almost an entirely new product. That starts with the sealed emulsification cartridge that strips away complexity in favor of proven reliability. The sealed cartridge has a fixed, faster return speed and a simple design thats intended to boost reliability and longevity.At the base of the post, the new, low-profile actuator is roughly half the size of the blocky actuators on previous Highline posts. The shorter actuator helps decrease insertion lengths and makes fitment easier on some frames. At the same time, Crankbrothers says it has tuned the actuator and cartridge for easier actuation, a light touch at the remote, and a quick response.The new Highline also features an internal adjustable travel system so riders can fine-tune the drop length to optimize fit. On the 30.9, 31.6, and 34.9mm diameter posts, travel can be reduced by up to 20mm in 5mm increments with an easy-to-install key. According to Crankbrothers, the process requires minimal tools and the post does not need to be completely removed from the bike. Note: the 27.2mm posts use a hydraulic IFP cartridge, and do not have adjustable travel.The stack height has been reduced by 2mm to a very respectable 45mm (collar base to saddle rail center), and the brand states that insertion depths across all sizes have been decreased, too. The two-bolt saddle clamp has been updated slightly, but still features the quick-release, pivoting rear bolt that makes saddle installation, removal, and adjustments a snap.More SizesCrankbrothers says, No matter the bike, theres a Highline that will fit. It comes in 27.2mm, 30.9mm, 31.6mm, and 34.9mm diameters and travel lengths between 60 and 230mm (depending on the post diameter). With so many options, it does seem like there is a Highline to fit any bike.30.9mm and 31.6mm SizesSize options, measurements, and weight for the 31.6mm diameter posts.

- WWW.CYCLINGWEEKLY.COM'I was throwing up every 20 minutes' British rider battles illness to finish debut Tour de France FemmesBritish rider Robyn Clay pushed her persistence to new limits last week, when she battled through illness in the searing heat to make it to the finish of her first Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The 22-year-old, a first-year pro with Picnic PostNL, described her debut in the nine-day race as really, really hard. I just got emotional at the finish because I think Im just relieved that its finished, but also its such a crazy experience, she told Cycling Weekly after the closing stage in Nice on Sunday. It all just kind of hit me at the end. Clay placed 114th overall on her debut, second-last ahead of her team-mate Mia Griffin, and almost three hours behind the winner Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez). At one point, though, she doubted whether she would finish the race at all, after she fell victim to the 35C heatwave that stifled the opening weekend in Switzerland. The first couple of days I was throwing up every 20 minutes and getting dropped, Clay said. I was the only person getting dropped straight away, so that was really a tough pill to swallow. My boyfriend was wanting to book to come to Nice [for the final two stages], but I told him, Dont bother, just in case I dont make it there.But as it went on, I adapted a bit better to the heat, so it was OK. Clay (second left) with her Picnic PostNL team-mates at the start of the Tour in Lausanne. (Image credit: A.S.O/Gaetan Flamme)Thirty-two riders did not finish this years Tour de France Femmes, mostly due to illness or missing the time cut. Reflecting on her debut as a whole, Clay said she was taken aback by the scale of the race, which only its fifth year is already the calendar's marquee event. Everythings just bigger, the Briton said. Theres more people, more media, more staff, more everything. Its just like a normal race, but on a massive scale. Clay was named Cycling Weeklys domestic rider of the year for 2025, having won both the National Road and National Circuit Series titles with British Continental team DAS-Hutchinson. Since joining Picnic PostNL in January, she has started some of the biggest races in the world, including the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, the Giro dItalia Women, and now, the Tour de France Femmes. Asked for her favourite thing about her Tour debut, Clay said it was just being here and seeing all the crowds. Conversely, she hated scaling Mont Ventoux, the barren, 1,910m-tall mountain that made up the finish of stage seven.It was well windy, but I heard that Ventoux means windy mountain, so it makes sense, she said. Id like to come again.0 Comments 0 Shares 31 Views
- BIKESNOBNYC.COMKeeping It SimpleA little over a year ago I cleared out my friends apartment after he died. He had a lifetime of bike stuff, all meticulously organized and stored carefully for the day when he might need to call it back into service or finally get around to selling it. Obviously that day never came.As I went through all this stuff I couldnt help thinking about my own. Unlike his, mine was completely disorganized, and if I were to depart this mortal plane nobody would be able to make the least bit of sense out of it. So recently I finallywell, I wouldnt say I organized my spare bike stuff, but I at least went through it, put it in bins, and threw out the things it was least likely I or anyone else would ever want or need. (And yes, Ive already gone looking for at least three of the things I threw out and then suddenly needed.) I also told myself Id make every effort to look to these bins before acquiring any new bike stuffbecause frankly, even if I realize my full life expectancy, Ive reached that point in every Freds life where he has more stuff than he could possibly wear out in the course of his remaining allotment.Unfortunately, while I may be able to account for my own behavior, I cant account for the behavior of other people. Consider these two mail pieces I received in the very same day:You may recall I wasnt going to reconfigure the Farbman because I didnt have a front derailleur cable pulley thingy and I wasnt going to acquire one, only allowing myself to embark on the project when it turned out I had a suitable top-pull derailleur as well as everything else Id need to complete it. Well, look what somebody just sent me:Thanks a lot, Johnny, now I have to assemble a whole new bike around it.And yes, Johnny first had to email me and ask for my mailing address in order to send it, so technically I did consent, but it was still wildly inconsiderate and selfish of him.Heres what was inside the other piece of mail, from regular commenter sbarner:Im sure you know that these are, right?Of course you do.Well, I dont. In fact I dont have the slightest idea. Is it something I mentioned once and have since forgotten about? I mean sure, I could email him and ask, but then he might answer, and once I know Ill have to put bikes togetehr around all of them, too.Then a day later I got a delivery from Bens Cycle, and the contents included but were not limited to the following:For the record, none of this stuff counts against my Not acquiring any new bike stuff commitment, and if youre wondering why, the answer is BECAUSE IT JUST DOESNT, OKAY!?! And if youre wondering what its for, the answer is its for a future project thats none of your business. Look, austerity may be healthy, but goddamn it A FRED NEEDS TO LIVE.By the way, lets just take a moment to contemplate this:I ask you: how can you hold this object in your hand and still want a disc brake? So light, so simple, and yet so effective. Sorry, but opting for disc brakes over this is the symptom of a diseased mindand you shouldnt take that the wrong way, all I mean is that if you want disc brakes instead of something like this theres something seriously wrong with you.Oh, and if your answer to the rhetorical disc brake question was More tire clearance Ill point out that theres such a thing as rim brakes with more clearance. Or, if your answer was More stopping power, well, some things in life are worth dying for, arent they?Sure they are.An unwillingness to put your life on the line for your ideals is exactly whats wrong with this new generation.[Intern: Drop that Old Man Yells At Cloud image in here.]Speaking of this new generation, once again I found myself looking at the cycling videos on YouTube and not being able to bring myself to watch a single one of them, because they aggressively rebuff any attempt on my behalf to be interested:Can we please reserve phrases like The Hard Truth Nobody Wants to Admit to situations that actually warrant it, like Sometimes I fantasize about murdering my cat, or Im strongly attracted to my second cousin? The meaningless difference between the frame materials of mass-produced bicycles is not something were repressing deep in our collective subconscious and unwilling to confront.Also, if youre going to make statements like this, please follow through with them:Good, dont! I dont want to hear about your gravel bike ever again. In fact I dont want to hear about any gravel bikes ever again. If I could return to any period in history, it would be 2012, which is the year before the gravel bike was invented. Then, on the eve of that invention, Id go to sleep and wake up back in 2012 again, just like the movie Groundhog Day, only Id be really happy about it.Though maybe Id go back even further to before mountain bikes stopped being bikes:Sorry, its not complicated. They both suck, just total garbage. Look, just skip the human-powered motocross bikes and get an e-bike already, you know you want one. You know, when this first started happening I was horrified:Now I just hope what they call mountain biking today goes fully and completely motorized so the divorce will become final already.But YouTube can still be helpful. For example, what better resource is there for the confused bicycle shopper?Good Lob, 38 minutes!?! Here are those five essential features you want in one second:WheelsSaddleHandlebarPedalsBrakesNow youre all set.0 Comments 0 Shares 41 Views
