Oh yeah the RS1. That thing was the most ridiculously flexy pile of poo!.... It deserved to die.
I probably service 1 of those a year, and one I did recently had done about 10,000k without a service and was in pretty damn good condition inside. The USD concept of keeping oil on the bushings is way more beneficial than people give it credit for.
Yes, and the relevance to MTB is the fact that the demand for 40/58's for e-moto's is significant and why haven't any of the established suspension companies pursued that market which at this point looks poised to dwarf the MTB DH fork market.

They have and do.
However the stigma of and use of those “throttle assisted” (not pedal assisted) ebikes means that they prefer not to shout about it.

Worked for a company selling a shit ton of brakes to Surron. They'd take the money, but did not shout about it considering the amount of chavs that bomb around on them balaclavad up and knicking purses in London.

Someone should tell Manitou how wrong it is for them to sell boatloads of Dorado's to Surron owners. I would be extremely surprised if they actually sold more to the MTB market at this point. A big suspension company would have to be pretty clueless to ignore the e-moto market at this point tbh.
Not sure if this was posted before but Biggiecomponents released a SRAM T-TYpe adapter that fits older Yeti bikes between 2019-2023 that are non-UDH, The adapter kit cost only $65 USD.

Is a brake really that hard to design and manufacture? It's not a super simple product but it is just an assembly of a bunch of fairly straightforward parts. It's not like a rim or a carbon frame where you need expensive tooling and a bunch of special sauce on the engineering side of things to get a functional product.
Good point on the "cranks come with bikes" statement. Shorter cranks seem like a huge thing at the moment because everyone that's talking about their short cranks online, but the percentage of people actually buying them i guess is really really small. If Shimano would offer the XT in 160 and 155 then it'd probably kill most people's interest in most of the smaller brands, but they'd also have to figure out how to communicate to buyers that their boring looking crank is actually built in a way cooler way than cutting it into shape on a mill.

Given that it was probably SRAM's lawyers that were responsible for 5dev discontinuing the udh mod kit, ordering the biggie kit sooner rather than later is probably a good plan if you think you might want one.

There is a bunch of aftermarket udh hangers so I doubt anyone is after them...
This is an older frame to UDH compatible conversion, not an UDH compatible frame derailleur hanger for the older derailleurs. It's to mount Transmission derailleurs on old frames.

This is referring to the Specialized gravel bikes T-type mod, not Yetis, but might give some insight:
X-post from the Team Rumors thread, but since Rheeder mentions opening another new mountain bike company later this year I figured it belongs here too. Here's to hoping it's not another flat pedal brand 😂😂
It’s Fox 😉

SC Syndicate testing with Massdampers. Maybe Fox is involved?

The one they habe mounted is definetly the countershox, but Fox is probably working on something their own
Fox working on a new Float X2 👀 post from frameworks racing
They are: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/a4/a9/35/94c7f935201795/US20240229892A1.pdf
Looks like they’re making room for a Neo battery.
Now that it’s no longer an anniversary year for fox can teams finally ditch those gold lowers?
It looks like they refined the air can to be a true hand grenade for when it does blow up. /s
Use one during dual slalom and take out your competitors mario kart style
Wheelbased just shared more pictured of the new Reverb AXS (off a Bjorn Riley story)
If you cant finish the race because of your shock, no one can…

Hel have been making motorcycle brakes for years
I believe 5Dev made one first a year or so ago. Bit more expensive though and looks to be discontinued. https://5dev.com/products/yeti-2018-2022-udh-mod-kits
this one may include the new axle you need as the old one wont make it there with the adapter, most likely..

Going to be fun reading wireless/electronic aficionados rationalizing an expensive, cumbersome and fugly axs dropper over a cabled version.
