I find it really amusing this team uses Aliexpress special EZMTB bleeding kit instead of a SRAM official one:

What's funny is that they're actually using the official bleeding edge hose with it still. The EZMTB bleed kit is GOATed anyway, I'd definitely use it over the official kit lol

There have been some road bike brand that tried trip wire and dimpled surface but at the end of the day, even road cycling airflow is mostly turbulent as the speed are too low for it to transition to laminar airflow where such tricks like dimpled surface or trip wire do help.
Zipp still use dimpled surface on their NSW series of wheels. Some helmet manufacturer have used in the past trip wire and dimpled surface mostly on TT helmet but rider head move too often for them to be effective.
I’m just waiting for the 60 euro patent pending version hand crafted in the Dolomite region.
Can I patent the ole one eye squint? For real tho, equalizing the gap on each side between the sanctions and bars is way easier than aligning the stem with the tire.

This exact issue was addressed 3 months ago when the Fox Podium got leaked here and Sspomer deleted the post and explained why.
Vital playing by the rules means they get access to product early, so we get great reviews and also fosters good will in these forums where a lot of industry people come and contribute.
Why jeopardize the best MTB tech forum there is so we can see shots of a product 5 days early?
Also note the leaks from the factory via weight weenies didn't get deleted?

Because I asked a good faith question about if it was made financially worth their while to delete users' posts on their platform (definitely more of a grey area than Vital posting) for these very valid reasons and was given a condescending answer that it never happens.
As I said in my original post, I don't blame them at all for deleting them given that it would be impossible to make it in the biz without being on the good side of big players. I just felt like I was being told not to believe my lying eyes.

You're just assuming it's 100% financially motivated - this might be a concept you struggle to grasp but it is entirely possible for Vital to be proactive and delete posts like that purely on their own accord or because they understand the issue with them
Oh.......now I see why you got a condescending response
Except I am not assuming that, I am in fact acknowledging the opposite, that there are other reasons to delete posts. I am saying that they should get some appreciation from brands for doing so given that people are posting widely available images that the companies did a mediocre job keeping under wraps in a forum titled tech rumors. I am on Vital's side in this.
Everyone knows the only way to get your bars and levers juuuust right is to adjust them with a rusty multi-tool in the trailhead parking lot while your buddies are waiting on you to start the ride. The more exasperated your friends are, the more precise the alignment.

FUNN bars have this covered with plenty of markings that make it easy to match angles and width from grips, but for my other bike with Spank bars I used a free level app 🤷 at-home or on-trail alignment made easy

Rather than measuring a gap with your eye, align it to “touch” and all of a sudden it’s far more accurate than anyone needs.
Just saw this was already posted. Also, I didn’t slide my grip all the way on and never noticed so….

Yup best method along with using the mark 1 eyeball.

yes. i deleted because they asked.
edit - further clarification - it's embargoed material that some brand, shop or media "hero" is putting on the internet. if shimano doesn't their images on vital and asks for it to be removed, i'll oblige. i would do this for any brand in the same situation. i don't control other websites the material may land on.
if it was spotted out in the wild or posted on a site in error to be freely seen, well that's an entirely different situation.

I already heard it from a horse with a mouth inside specialized, but that looks an awful lot like a Brembo logo.

Yes but is most likely just the other torx bolt for the reservoir lid
Sure that's not Beats By Dr. Dre?
Enhance!!!

That's just a bolt that holds the lid from the other side.

Looks like the more prominent shape/indent is a second cap bolt but just to the right of it is the logo:

Seriously, this is the way.
Me too, but I do it with no gap between crown and handlebar.
This is also similar to how I match lever angles.

My posts & Shimano content have a lot in common.
What do you do when your wheel is more wobbly than a rummed up pirate on land?

my arms aren’t symmetrical in any way: length strength, mobility. Eyeballing bars is fine.

What really matters is that I believe it's aligned. As long as I think it is, it's good enough.
Yup best method along with using the mark 1 eyeball.
I wonder if they will only be oem for a while til they release to the masses. Like they did with the ohlins coil.
What marker do you suggest for eyeballs?
900 pages!
I don't get it, people usually want to see shimano content.
What about if it was discussed In a Signal chat?
Yes.
Is there one?
