It’s cool to see a rider really understand what’s going on with his bike. Seems like a real professional should in order to advance the bike as far as possible. There are too many dudes that have no idea (or at least say they don’t).

I've commented for a while that his bike looks different to everyone else's but it was recently pointed out to me by a circuit regular that the guy flatters the bike with his perfect style/line choice. Bit of both going on no doubt.

Added a comment about feature Specialized Stumpjumper EVO vs. Stumpjumper - See How They Compare
One of the great aspects of the bike. If you ride trails that are lower angle you have the ability to slam the stem (I run one 5mm spacer) and put a lot more load the front tire. Go somewhere steep and all I have to do is add another 15mm under the stem and I've got more weight going through the pedals.

I own both of these bikes right now plus a HTLT. My builds are a little different since I have the SWorks SJ and have put XO1 on the Evo along with SC carbon wheels so take my comments with a grain of salt that it is not an exact comparison.
My experience is that the Evo SLAYS steep...more

That's because 4-bar designs are the best (noting that most dual-short-link designs are effectively 4-bar).

When the Spec does it so well on the Stumpjumper, gotta find something else to compete on. I suppose making the suspension compensate for the nose-heavy geo on small, and compensate for the rear-heavy geo on XL is a start...

I really like the look of these but where's the rear axle?!

If the seat angle is steepened so that it reduces cockpit length and subsequently requires more reach, what happens when the rider is out of the saddle? The Ideal out of the saddle/descending reach number is then likely compromised for climbing. I'm ... more »

I'm okay with having a compromised climbing bike if I'm not being timed uphill I'd rather have an AM bike that was geared towards the fun side of riding. I also think that technique and fitness plays such huge part in climbing and most guys are nowhere ... more »

Well I completely disagree with that unless you're racing XCO/Marathon.

Oh seated weight distribution. Apologies, I thought you guys were talking about DH handling.

What does SA have to do with weight distribution?

Carbon Evo on the way next spring apparently. At 174cm and even inseam/torso the S2 size will be perfection for me. Well apart from the inevitable racist cable routing that all bikes seem to be adopting.
Added a comment about press release Sick Bicycle Co. Introduces the Gnarpoon
Top and downtubes should be square section like the rear triangle. It's not very cohesive as is. Seat tube ID should be 34.9 too. That is going to be a new standard (size wise).

I bet that would be the case for 95% of team managers.

I think in a lot of people's minds, as with Froome, Richie will always be a doper from this day forward.

But if you're naturally very mesomorphic like Rude, what you would need is more oxygen uptake to enable you to compete with more typical physiques like Hill, Dailly, etc in endurance cycling disciplines. Moving that much mass around is going to take ... more »

Ahh so that's how you compete in endurance cycling events while looking like a jacked Crossfit bro. I feel sorry for the athletes who got beat by them.

Nice to see Gee on a bike that's the right size. Looks like those things are setup pretty nicely.
