Pretty sure that is a 29er. I would be surprised to see Rock Shox release a Pike 32" fork before a Sid 32"

Watching the footage back I filmed in 2011-2012 with my Hero2 was enough to make me decide to never buy another action cam.

In VPP no less.

Which derailleur? If it's SRAM GX or NX you could have a worn B-bolt interface causing slop. Deore and NX have soft steel in their parallelograms that is easily tweaked whey they meet Mr. Rock, and then they're basically trash. GX and NX B-bolts are steel and wear the aluminum derailleur body if you do a lot of bumpy miles. Can be fixed with Hall Lock mod where you make the derailleur bottom out firmly on the hanger by modding or shimming the B-bolt. Derailleur can't rotate on hanger any more with this, so wheel swaps are slightly more annoying...

"Speaking to the eBike riders I see on the trails here, they're all shifting to lower-priced bikes as they've realized that they can without sacrificing performance." This lines up with a hypothesis I've been thinking about for a while, which is that I think so much of the weirdness of the bike industry and bike customers (obsession with grams and weight, obsession over granular differences in tire feel and suspension tuning, and willingness to spend enormous amounts to customize and upgrade a stock bike) comes down to the weakness of the human motor and the human mind.

Hey @ballz , We occasionally get feedback about the noise that the pawls make when they engage the ratchet ring during initial pedaling movement, but your description sounds pretty extreme and not the norm. Can you drop us a line at support@ethirteen.com and we can dig into it with you. Thanks!

@ballz - Great to hear you got it figured out and that it was not the hub.

If you didn't document your ride, did you even ride, bro?

When everyone knows new bikes are to be tested in Transition's parking lot

I made custom crowns for some dorados a few years ago doing the same thing

I've ridden the hub a lot and have not experienced this at all. I found my bike quieter. That said, I'm in the max position (18 degrees) and exclusively ran V2 on an Epic 8 Evo (with good results). Maybe the lack of travel kept it from "cycling" like you are experiencing? @e*thirteen to the white curtesy phone...bet they can help you out.
