As a fan of both electronic and jazz music I really don’t care how the art was made. If I like it, I like it.

Is the pinnacle of suspension evoltuion the crab? Will all bikes be crabs some day?

I love it and hate it. Always good for a laugh. Love it when people act like it’s going to destroy the planet, as though the capitalist system it grew out of was doing great things…

Wow 7 thumbs down. Don't mess with the yeti fanbois or maybe its the cameltoe on the yeti crab?

“ChatGPT, show me a yeti crab” Edit:

One step closer to crab

I love my raw RAAW, but not mad at that purple at all.

Looks like the Madonna might get the Yalla V2 adjustable dropout soon. Found these on mtbnews.de for a an industry event with everyone attending bike setup pictured https://www.mtb-news.de/news/bock-auf-ballern-2025/

It seems like he's backed off on that a bit lately... I thought it was funny and kinda stood out a bit.

Something that holds our industry back is that we think that bike skills = bike design skills. They don’t. It helps to have bike skills and experience to inform bike design, but we have some amazing riders designing some absolute turds. Once we accept some of the mediocre riders might actually have deep insights into bike design we will see some huge improvements overall.

Greeting people with "what's up assholes?" in videos is not poor attitudes. Leave Unc alone, he's honest and he works hard to spread the good word of long rear centres.

I re-read this post and couldn't understand what you were trying to say. Not to mention your response seems filled with unnecessary vitriol over someone just mentioning a persons name. Judging by your response I can only assume that you're harboring some deep seeded PTSD from him crushing you at the local beer league endubro. Which I do personally feel like that might be worth seeking some help for as it's never good to cary such such a burden mentally. All that besides, I'm glad you feel like Evil's 435 rear center is what you want in a size XL...

Aston and Cahal have their quirks but calling them mediocre riders is complete BS. Both of those guys rip. Also 435 chainstay on a modern XL mtb is a joke IMO. Especially for a frame that costs $4k.

34,9 mm is not a dropper post related standard. I had a Scott Scale back in my xc racing days in 2005 that had a 34,9 mm seatpost. As for binding and bushing overlap and the like, there are very few dropper posts that have a 34,9 mm specific upper (Bikeyoke Max series) as opposed to just running a thicker lower/outer tube with the rest of the parts the same as with 30,9 and 31,6 mm posts.

But is it laterally stiff while maintaining vertical compliance?!?

FWIW nearly every single dropper post offering both 30.9 and 31.6 models use identical internals, including bushings, in both models. I don't think there's an appreciable difference between the two. There's a valid argument with 34.9 but at the same time, now that droppers are mature enough, I'm not sure most people are actually experiencing the issues with 30.9/31.6 posts that 34.9 was meant to solve. Companies are just too good at making em' these days. A 30.9 post fits everything modern with various shims.

435 chainstay across the board... Brian Cahal has left the chat

Square hole-ins. We don't just carry a heritage, we drop it, kick it, trim off the edges, cut a square hole in it and proudly hold it up sideways.

Your prayers have been answered - Alutech Pelmo with that they seem to call "super mullet" - 32" up front, and a 27.5" in the rear (I THINK) Not 100% sure what maxxis tire it runs up front, but I believe it is the new dissector gen 2
