I wonder if they consider routing the cables through the upper headset bearing a hollistic solution? For me its shithousery and should be punished by being beaten with a pair of vintage z1 bombers.

Don't think I've ever seen a frame fail at a cable exit, plenty have failed elsewhere due to owners hamfistedness, shit ass engineering/product testing, shit ass manufacturing/qc.

Nukeproof/vitus have sent out plastic rings to protect the steerer as brake cables have been rubbing against it, should be a recall given it’s a safety related potential serious failure

IMO sram quality is poor, the old 11 speed stuff was great, the 12 speed stuff is garbage. Soft cassettes, shot jockey wheel bearings, clutches that barely do 6 months. How are you killing the mechs?

Fitted a lot of converters to rid the world of the shitness that is GXP bottom brackets.

Be good if one of the websites tested it properly using data acquisition, there were a couple of articles and comments on pinbike of less pawls having less kickback, they were called out on it and had no explanation, just regurgitating the marketing ... more »

No clicking from mine, just the wooshy noises of its doing its grippy thing.

Hysteria in the bike industry, never ! Marketing have to keep the pennies rolling in.

What's specialized up to ?

Different way of clamping the rocker pivot, wonder if that's just for the prototype, or they see as there is a performance gain.

Eagle mechs that last more than 6 months, I can only wish 🤣

Simplifying their options makes a lot of sense, but thats too simple IMHO Its a wet condition tyre, I'd only offer it in maxxgrip, DH/DD/Exo+ casing in 29 & 27.5
