I am not seeing how the last 4 pages of this thread have anything to do with rumors or innovation.

Remember the good old days when we talked about bikes on here?

I think you meant “kind of FUN geometry”. As a person who gets more than 100 bike park days a year, this is way more in line with how parkrats of all ages enjoy riding… ymmv

I think I disagree with most of what you said. What is the little screw for then if not for bite point adjustment? Maybe you have a bad bleed. It works like a charm on my brakes and makes the bite point either very close to the bar or further away.

Just drop it please or indeed find the coil vs air thread. No, it is not the case. And if you have an air fork, I have no idea what do you do with it because between all the air forks I've had in a decade, I haven't spent enough on air seals nor grease to purchase a SINGLE coil spring for any fork. (not here to talk about whether I actually use it hard enough or whatever) Coil isn't innovation, certainly won't make your bike slacker nor longer. Whether it's better or not, this thread should be about innovation...

Ease of use and less SKUs. An air shock or fork adapts to everything from an XS to an XL rider with a shock pump by the average user. Changing coils is more involved, requires a workshop for the fork at least, different sizes come with different springs so you have 4 or 5 SKUs. And it's heavier. And more expensive as you have to buy another spring. Air is free.

This. I kinda don't understand the problem everyone has with presta. Like, how is everyone destroying their valve cores all the time? Never happened to me in 20+ years of cycling.

Agree with others, closing the thread with no alternative is hard to wrap my head around. Alternatively, and I'm fully ready to get downvoted for this, but the "Crab" thing was getting really overplayed, I'm ready for that to chill out. Funny joke while it lasted, doesn't need to be repeated every day in response to every topic.

It is cool indeed, unless you live in north america and have to order this from Germany (and send it back)

As someone who frequently lurks in this thread, I would love to see more moderation of the off-topic replies. I know threads are frequently spun off this one (like tires), but some of the frequent posters in the last month have never contributed to the topic at hand, other than to share their opinions and anecdotes. LAME!
