I understand wanting to keep a lyrik for the lower weight but if you think you can tangibly feel more fatigue due to the increased stiffness of a zeb you're lying to yourself (sram claims it is 2% stiffer than the lyrik fore and aft which would be the direction causing the chattery vibrations that cause fatigue).

There available on Nobl's website, they call it sine technology. The shape looks familiar, but I can't remember where. And I could be wrong, but I thought nobl was a rebrand company. https://noblwheels.com/carbon-rims/ Edit: Nevermind, you were asking about the "He" branding not the unique shape. The shape does look like their current offering tho. Reading comprehension fail on my part.

Gents, Wonder if you’re interested in moving this pissing match to another thread, I couldn’t care less about your thoughts on which you believe is easier or harder to ride. Keep your feelings somewhere else please. I am interested in more info on that updated Boxxxer I keep seeing…you know, new tech and such Also, the updated Zeb, buttercups and all that, when will we see those forks on bikes? Got a 22 Spire coming, and it would be cool if it was the the newest and greatest gadget

Not a lawyer, but once you pay money for an item, the manufacturer loses the rights to what you do with that item. Scratch the logo out...put your own logo on it...throw it in an old drum and light it on fire. You paid for it, you do what you like. Where you can get in trouble is if you start infringing on trademarks. A solid example...Deadmau5 and the Purrari. Ferrari couldn't do anything about him painting it up like an ice cream cone, but they had a potential case with him creating his own fake Ferrari logos. https://www.stites.com/resources/trademarkology/deadmau5-gets-in-tradem… So...If...

There have been test pilot tires with existing treads for a while now, the ones I’ve seen in person have another layer of pinch flat/sidewall protection compared to DH casing and was told they’re crazy heavy (in the realm of 1500g or more for a 29 DHR2)

Production bikes will likely have a fender, hence the mounting bracket on both sides. The idler also mounts lower to a recess on the inside of the drive side brace, not higher up.

To answer one of my original questions, it was a Fox Transfer: https://www.bikeradar.com/features/pro-bike/matej-mohoric-dropper-post/ Many of the bikes today are below the weight limit, but you still see them prioritizing less overall weight (like Tadej's rim brake bike for climbs) and more concentrated weight. And you are very correct, just having a dropper post doesn't make someone a good descender. Mohoric is a monster on downhills anyway you put it. Not a tech rumor, but kudos to MvdP for showing up last minute and getting third after months off the bike and out of competition!

The Aimy is one of those products that makes you smack your forehead and ask “Why the fuck didn’t I think of that!” Well done, bikeyoke! Shitting on greenwashing was an excellent touch, too

Literally two posts apart: "but at least it is better looking than the M29." "Shame, since that Cero m29 was one of the best looking bikes of the last 10 years" Beauty is in the eye of the bee holder, or something like that I guess.

Wonder if Jeff is going with non-ideal super high pivot so he can avoid patents? Where Neko is running the I-track pivot since he's not a retail company they let him borrow the design. Jeff has to play by different rules and probably doesn't want to license anything so he's stuck with a too-high high-pivot with a 8" long rocker haha. Also, scary that this is still a 'work in progress' frame this far along. Jeff's instagram post said "this project making good progress". Not something you really want to be saying a couple weeks before the world cup season...
