New 3.2 damper as well.

Here's another 2 cents. I love Vital (and its forums) and I love Pinkbike (and its comments). I've followed both for as long as I can remember. I started mountain biking when I was 12 in the year 2000. I've been around. Both sites are great. Both offer different resources. Both serve the sport we love. But I don't understand why so many Vital readers hate Pinkbike. Like, really really dislike a site that has been so important in building a positive image for mountain biking. I've seen more anti-Pinkbike/anti-that-other-site/anti-rhymes with StinkBike comments on Vital than I can remember. Conversely...

Rumor has it there will be a new Vivid next year...

Can’t wait for sram to offer subscription services for modulation.

Your left nut lives to fight another day.

Yeah, wireless brakes are gonna be a no for me, dawg

lol strong submission to the new thread. Hope we continue to see a tide shift in brands focusing more on front to rear ratio.

Cat 4 is we call this a gravity mtb but we will deny your warranty for riding it.

On Brand for longer and slacker. jank components came out with an Ibis link to lengthen the chain stay and slacken the head tube. https://jankcomponents.com/products/jank-link-long-chainstay-linkage-fo…

Throwing in my 2 cents... This thread (and site overall) is an exponentially better resource than any of the others who will remain nameless but rhyme with StinkBike and EnemaTBR. I equate that to the people who visit and the structure of the site. If it ain't broke....

Hey.. The annual team rumors thread launch is always highly anticipated..

Since this thread has turned into who lost Redbull lids and not Dak to Frameworks. I'll add this. Sorry admin I'll get my coat.

Darren Berrecloth lost his RB helmet years ago. Not sure why, but he seemed like a good ambassador. Tanner Hall lost his RB helmet, despite still being one of the more recognized names in skiing, but Jon Olsson still has his, even though he hasn't put out ski content in... 5-10 years? Hardly even puts out car content anymore and basically just does business stuff. I have no idea how RB decides on who keeps and loses helmets, but I imagine it has a lot to do with what they're like to work with. Gwin seems like exactly the kind...

The artist formerly known as Prince to Rogue Racing.

Yes, I think annual threads is the format I would also prefer. As others have pointed out, this thread specifically thrives on a healthy mix of actual tech rumors and lighthearted banter / memes. But for that, the conversation needs some sort of continuity. To get that continuity, but also not eat up too many resources on the Vital servers, I think yearly servers would be the best solution.

So after six years of Sspomer and other users redirecting non-tech rumour talk to individual threads (brake discussion, chain stay circlejerk, etc), Sspomer has now redirect ALL talk to individual threads. Damn.
