We actually blocked you. Because of all the other crap not the thinking something is too progressive. You’re actually the only person we’ve ever blocked. I guess you get some sort of an award or something. Not sure it’s one I’d want…

Just think it’s wrong for a company to offer the chance to review their products and then delete the review because they don’t like what I said. Not sure why that’s so controversial

They reserve the right to do that. I’m sure your review was far from reasonable. Why don’t you post what they deleted here word for word if it’s so important the world sees.

Back to rumors saw what I believed is the new sram brake?  I know it’s been around a bit but here’s a shot again   If they are as power as TRP and feel like a code leaver I’m sold! IMG 1812

Yes, let's concentrate on the rumours and celebrate 500 pages of goodness right here. Fantastic work people.

Apparently this us AP’s bike (from team rumours thread).

Interesting gold footnut on the fork… non approved internals maybe? Commencal seem to never get their stuff serviced by Fox at the races, so could they be running something sneaky in there? Or have they got Chris Porter working for them behind the scenes Whistling

Or is it just super dusty and is actually nothing at all.

@mcfadden999 and anyone else responding to him, guess what? there's an entire forum where you can start a new topic dedicated to one specific thing and you can develop that topic into the minutia it deserves. no more cascade review crap in this thread.

hooray for babysitting grown adults in 2024!

Could be just mega dust - the back of the nut looks black and there is plenty of dust on the sidewall and around the footnut - probably just freshly serviced.

Er.. yep.. If you look at the shadow from the top of the stanchions it's not from 12'oclock. Looks more like it's coming across from above and behind the photographer. I don't think you'd see as much shadow as you can see on the footnote given the orientation of the bike.

Jeez man - someone having a bad day? Try not to take life so seriously - I merely offered support to an alternative theory, someone else put forward - but hey - its just an alternative view.. If it really bothers you I can ask one of my best friends who is a professional photographer to get his views.. 

PS - my eyesight was actually checked a few weeks ago and I got the all clear - perfect 20/20 - thanks for asking Smile

Also notice the end of the black thru-axle is the same gold color. It's just dust on both.

My experience has been that if you have fox service your parts, you get it back with orange pressure caps, hsc adjuster dials and air spring footnuts fwiw.  related: not worth being a dick about... there are plenty of wheelsize and ebike threads for that.
