Where to buy trail feature signage?

Not looking to spend too much because there's a pretty good chance they get removed. Looking to add some "one way only", "drop" etc. signs.

Googling has not yielded any obvious sources.

Edit: found this but sold out of the drop variant https://trailsignsshop.com/

Some of the 2027 Trek 32" bikes were found, badly hidden on Euro retailer's website.

We now have renders of the Superfly 32 SLR 9.8 and Procaliber 32 9.5

The listings are hidden on this store's production site, but can be found by those looking a bit harder. Thanks to inquisitive minds on the goo old MTBR forums.

  • Chainstays look short enough. Trek made an effort that some Chinese manufacturers did not. Head tube are short but not crazily so, at least on these M or M/L frames.
  • Aspen tires are specified (no Bontrager yet, then), but the images show a Rekon Race. Perhaps that's just a render artefact, we're not looking at photos of actual bikes probably.
  • 45 mm fork offset, that's quite disappointing. Such an influence on handling and they copy/pasted the shortest offset from 29" to 32".
  • On the weightweenies.starbike.com forum there was a mention of 32" Trek models that are to have Fox 34 forks. Let's hope we'll hear more on those soon. Please have more offset than the RockShox models! It costs you nothing extra and may help all riders that you are making the 32" tooling for... I'm hoping a Procaliber with Fox will be worth the premium.
  • The Procaliber 9.5 seems a total copy of the current 29" version, for main spec as well as price leaked elsewhere. That's impressive. OCLV carbon frame, long dropper post, starting at €/$1799 in two color ways.
  • The deep droopy stems help fit, but I'm not yet convinced the bike fit will be the same as 29", they may well have ignored the stack/reach equation and just copy-pasted reach numbers from 29". They even did it with fork offset, after all.
  • Boost hub spacing, that's good for me but maybe a missed opportunity for others whose wheels cannot be stiff enough (recent testing hints on Berd wheels hints that stiff may not be faster necessarily). I suspect nearly all 32" Gravel bikes will now harmonize and also be Boost. It helps adding a wheelset to the stable for street tires or use in terrible mud, one will fit both your bikes. I like the idea of a (inevitably very heavy) alu set, but the extra set could also be super light (such as the <1200 grams Berd Gold wheels), or a really aero Gravel set, that might suit a fast XC race as well.
  • 170 mm cranks on 5 sizes. If that's the ideal length you come to with a crank length calculator, you're the lucky one. They could so easily give you 18 or 19% or whatever of the estimate inseam length for the frame size. Not exactly a new pet peeve of mine. I will put newer 180 mm XT on my first 32" bike. 180s were also stock on my 2014 Cube, actually, only for the XL. Such service back then.

Oz Stage Race- Report

This last weekend was the inaugural Oz Stage Race hosted in Bella Vista/Bentonville, AR. High level review of the race is it was great. Extremely professional, great courses, very organized and great swag. Recommended to anyone who wants to race the area (over Little Sugar 100k). Price was great at $350 for the weekend (could've been less if I registered sooner). Meals were pretty solid...not amazing but fine for post race.

Prior:

I raced Little Sugar 100k last October, blew up around Mile 20 with horrendous cramps and limped around the course...finishing, barely. I was coming off a broken collarbone, 15 lbs overweight and definitely far from peak fitness. It left a very, very bad taste in my mouth. Enter 2026, I wanted to go back for revenge but family commitments prevented me from registering so I jumped when the Oz Stage Race was announced. Worked out with time off being a holiday weekend and I was able to book a relatively affordable AirBnb a few blocks from downtown Bentonville (I'd probably stay closer to Bella Vista for this race next time). Training for the race went extremely well. Was able to get to my lowest weight since high school while putting out all time best power. I drove down to Bentonville from NJ with just about everything I needed to rebuild my bike besides a frame, 18 hours in total, arriving Wednesday afternoon.

Prologue:

Optional prologue was a 3.1 mile, mostly downhill green trail at the Bike park with a nasty service road climb halfway. I got on the lift with 5 chairs to spare before a storm rolled in then waited around at the summit for 45 minutes waiting for my turn to go. Legs were NOT happy...zero warmup, plenty of road trip inflammation + standing around = bad time. I have no idea how I did, but I didn't crash and had some post stage food before heading back to my AirBnb to continue the carb load.

Stage 1: Back 40

Speaking of carb load, I was aiming for 6-7g/kg carbs per day. Generally following Alex Larson's recommendations for Stage Races. Stage 1 was the back 40, with the start being hampered by rain. We had a neutral roll out to the trailhead by local police and got a nice cheer from the local elementary school. Once you got out there, the trails were in pretty good shape. Moments of wet and mud but generally rideable. There was plenty of blood due to the slick rocks and roots. Course was typical Bella Vista punchy climbs and flowy trails. Happy with my time and my lack of injuries. Legs felt just OK after this stage but kept pouring in the carbs and trying to recover.

Stage 2: Little Sugar

Stage 2 was the west side of Bella Vista. A little more rough and technical, a little more climbing but far less rain. Start was a neutral roll out MMR climb for 1.5 miles before spitting onto the punchy singletrack. I was letting my body warm up to the day and the bridges were very slick to start the morning so I ended up riding pretty easy for the first 15 or so miles. Ended up passing 5 or 6 riders in the last hour thanks to an accidentally very well paced ride. Time ended up being very similar to day 1 thanks to better conditions even with the extra mile and climbing. I clawed back 4 minutes on 4th in my AG which put me 2 minutes down heading into the last day

Stage 3: Coler/Slaughter Pen/Handcut Hollow/Blowing Springs

A way different stage 3, 40% less climbing and 5 less miles meant this one would be a bit spicier. We started in Coler for a few miles before spitting onto one of the 4 or 5 road/gravel transfers between trail systems. Today was the first day we actually started with our categories which amped up the pace a bit too. Trails were all in great condition and weather played nice. The day ended up being a solid hour shorter which was welcome with slightly tired legs. I beat 4th by 15+ minutes and only ended up 4 minutes back of 3rd in my category. This stage actually starting with my competitors was super fun, I hope they do this format every day next year...albeit a little less convoluted.

Etc:

Nutrition I did 180g carbs in a hydration pack, 1 bottle mixed with 75g and then a flask with 200g in it. Ended up absolutely perfect 3 days. Usually going pack with occasional gel, then gels then bottle each day. No GI issues, no palate fatigue. I can't imagine not having a pack during a ride with 95% singletrack.

Bike had 0 flats or mechanicals which felt like a small miracle. Less flats than in October but still plenty out there. Ran an Epic 8 with flight attendant and ran Conti Trinotal/Dubnital in the Trail Grip casings 29x2.4".

Sooo yeah, awesome weekend. Super happy and looking forward to a midseason break before ramping up for Pisgah 111 in the fall.
