We’ve had several cassettes be issues. One was my personal bike, drove myself crazy following and re-following the setup procedure. I swapped for a different cassette off one of our rentals and the issue with the 3rd cog resolved with no adjustment and the issue started on the rental. SRAM warrantied no questions. New cassette has been trouble free. Customer...

tolerances are clearly a problem, sram has been approving warranties very quick for cassettes

It must have been two years, RS genie shocks inbound

The XO/90 build surprises me a little. XO cranks, with transmission 90. Looking at the cost difference it looks like less of a price-point decision and more like they see demand for cable shifting

Gonna say some sort of trail bike. Despite what there marketing has said I can’t believe they don’t see a market for an epic evo or camber

Like the Hummer X it looks like AI slop from what I’ve seen

Love this, I've been thinking about making a coffee table book of bikes through the years I'll start once I transitioned to my first 26, not including gravel, DJ: Specialized Hardrock, Specialized Enduro (hardtail), Ironhorse Yakuza Chimpira, Ironhorse Yakuza Kumicho, Ironhorse Sunday Team K2 Brass Monkey, Kona Dawg Deluxe, Trek Remedy, Rocky Mountain Altitude Rally (first 27.5), Devinci Spartan, Devinci...

xt/xtr DI2 2x10 was weird, expensive, but also impressively good. You could set it to only use one shifter and it would go through the range (front and rear as needed). I have never installed one, and never want to, but man shimano was a touch late to the party

*throwdown

Would love to see a Camber but from what specialized is telling dealers the non-evo epic saw way better sell through. Surprising to me, but I guess xc is hot right now.

Talk about energy. I'll tell you, if you ever have used bikes parts to deal with, or want to scare yourself on an XC bike, Sanjay is your guy.

This has me wondering what a 32" bike with 29" wheels would be like. Thinking it could be Long (CS) / Low (b b) / Tall (Stack)😽 Also 32" means 29+ ain't dead

I've always though Cushcore was missing a good April 1 jab with green trash cans. Or honestly as a real promo most shops would take a green trash bin. #realorfake

Spec. Epic 9 sometime in April

Strictly rumor/ conjecture: -Lots of I9 stuff is on sale, stems in particular. New drop coming around sea otter? - New Epic 9? Stock levels of the Epic/ Epic Evo 8 have been low all year. Seems like they are either clearing inventory or playing timing games with tariffs.

chainstay length adjustment at the pivot is clever

iirc fox only has exclusive rights to the genie tech developed with specialized for a year or two

New Kona Unit Y or Unity
