Attention. Dude is clearly one of those people who never mentally matured and constantly needs interaction with strangers on the internet, regardless of whether it's positive or not.

I love my onyx hubs.
but that bearing placement on the new KOM makes me really really happy. It’s just pleasing to know. It would be like an emotional security blanket in my heart to install that hub on any bike I plan to ride for a while. Well done. I hope it takes off. Gets licensed and there is a silent version with soft but high degree engagement
how bout that tech forum huh?
we all new Scott was gonna do this. It doesn’t really help that they keep doing it.
I guess someone would do that eventually (put the guts inside the frame) but it’s nice to know that my local service centric shops are learning new tricks.
service centric shops always have the most jaded to capable ratios going. And twinloc nude bikes are still walking in the door keeping the lights on. Dyad shocks not so much.

Scott bikes have an extra 100$ time tax at this point every time one comes through the door for more than a quick adjustment.
Every new internal shock bike I've seen out in the wild also sound like a bag of metal blocks falling down the stairs when climbing.
I think rattle on a bike is worse than garbage breaks. I would (begrudgingly) accept headset routing if it absolutely guaranteed complete silence from all other components ….but I do like single speeds. So maybe I’m an outlier

Wait… when climbing?
Maybe Im just really open to trying things but Id definitely try the Scotts. Except for the least innovative thing on them (headset routing) makes me not want them. Still do just a little. But not enough to get one.
One thing I am curious about is the service life for the shocks that are in frames. Obviously they are away from the elements. Big win. But they also have no ventilation as far as I know. But I dont know if the fluids on the inside are rated for way higher heats? Regardless Id love to see a really long term test on this.
Maybe Ill buy one and just drill some holes in my downtube and route it the way I want.

It sounded like every bearing on one bike were representing the Rice Krispy mascots. It looked pretty new so I was surprised. The lack internal housing routing is also terrible. You have to take the thing apart, It's required to do basic work. Other companies have solved this with internal sleeves so I have a hard time understanding why Scott when full stupid when they designed these bikes as "integrated designs" but didn't full integrate the routing to help manage the complexity.

What you should be concerned with are the trash RC CAR bearings they use for all the pivots (yes, even the main pivots) once my bud saw his fancy bike in pieces waiting for the replacements (which you’d be relieved to know aren’t common bike sizes) and he realized how small they were…. He turned to the tech (who i had indeed just handed a beer and pre roll to- out of respect and sympathy) and said: “sheesh, that’s why they didn’t last 3 months” ……
Just to be clear, when the cables are routed through the headset and past rhe internally mounted shock, and you want to find the blown bearing in the pivots, but you don’t want to take off the the whole rear end, you do indeed need to remove the ………………….
stem.
Or bar/stem combo. And brakes from the bars probably. But maybe not. Hopefully.
Oneup has to be one of the only brands in MTB who actually give riders what they want Including the price point.
Decent quality, well thought out without complication products
The only thing extra thing i want from a dropper is a decent way to access the seat rail clamp bolts.
Looks like a perfect revision (I see the V2.1 rebuild kit gets the revised midcap and SKF seal). My V2 post has been an absolute dud, like clockwork, every 25-30 rides it needs a rebuild kit thrown at it. Constantly pushes grease past the seal, excessive rotational play and the midcap constantly works its self loose (which you cannot tighten down much or it causes the post to return slower). See if the V2.1 rebuild kit makes any marginal improvement before I get rid of it.

Wow, it's crazy how much variation there is in these cheap posts. What's the deal?
Everyone loves PNW right? I returned two brand new PNW Loam posts for having hilariously bad rotational play out of the box before I gave up on that idea and bought a OneUp which, aside from needing to be cleaned and greased a bit too frequently, has been great.
If only servicing a Fox Transfer didn't cost almost as much as a cheap post...

I've owned Far to many oneup posts and other than their notable rattle, ive never had an issue, they get ridden in mud/ice/dust
I got a chance to check out the new V3 dropper the last couple of weeks so I took it upon myself to tear it down and compare the V2 and V3 internals. V3 is very noticeably lighter, the horizontal rattle when the seat is dropped is definitely improved, the seals and bushings are beefed up considerably, and it's ridiculously easy to work. Waiting to 240mm stock to be available to me so I can toss it on my enduro bike and move my 210mm V2 over to my trail bike.
NicoZesty98, the cartridge is sealed and doesn't look like it can be serviced. Bright side is that it is 100% recyclable.

He'd probably still beat you to a pulp. Hopefully break your fingers too so you're unable to shit up this thread.
Sir, violence is never the answer
Teamrobot burner account found.
Don’t blame TeamRobot for that ****
Easy tiger, a little jokey obviously.
Nah, sometimes violence is absolutely the answer

Yo, Mods can we get this dude banned?

better than a 38 tuning forum.

Or does it flop? And fox jumps it to marzo?
