I have to agree.... maybe 6tee9?

I have a bullit and have the stock float x, the stock x2 and an avalanche tuned marzzochi bomber cr. Honestly there is very little difference between the three of them. Of the three, I prefer the air shocks as I feel the extra capability/planted nature of the bullit with the coil shock comes at too much of a trade-off in terms of maneuverability and ease of getting the bike to switch lines mid-corner or feature. The Bullit is a pretty typical Santacruz bike in that it packages moderate geometry (borderline conservative compared to current trends), with a chassis that...

Congrats on pulling off a cool and interesting project. I hope it's a killer ride!

I don't think critiquing the use of AI slop means people are trying to chase him away. He's an extremely smart guy with a lot of insight that everyone is very grateful for, and proud to have as part of this community. (We love you Jeff). I think it's normal for people you like to make decisions you disagree with. Everyone gives their friend some shit when they say something dumb, or yells at the TV when their favorite soccer player makes a bad pass.

A bit of self promotion here... but here is a downhill bike I've been developing for those interested!

In 2040, the shifter will get a hinged clamp.

All time post right here.

I mean, it's not that confusing... 😆 2014: Easton-Bell Sports sold its baseball and softball division to Bauer Performance Sports ($330,000,000) 2014: Race Face buys Easton Cycling ($?), Fox buys Race Face and Easton Cycling ($30,000,000) 2016: Easton-Bell Sports sells Bell and Giro (and Blackburn) to Vista Outdoor ($400,000,000) 2020: Rawlings acquired Easton Diamond Sports from Peak Achievement Athletics (formerly Bauer Performance Sports) ($?) 2022: Vista Outdoor buys Fox (the other Fox) ($540,000,000) 2023: Fox (this Fox) buys Marucchi (whose logo looks like Manitou and name sounds like Marzucchi, which is how people frequently mispronounce Marzocchi –– which they also...

Searching for new product synergies, the new Fox 40 comes with suspiciously t-ball bat shaped stanchions

According to your own brilliant AI post (which I understand you may not have been able to read), here are some similarities vs. differences: Shared between Norco Team DH & Canyon Sender Frose Stock High-Pivot Domn Differences, Sender vs. Team DH, respectively: Long: 125mm vs 41SMM Root Pivot: 927MM vs S67MM Ligh Pivot CB vs Low Pivot SD And some specs that may help differentiate between them: Sender: Tech Sper 18.0 min High-Pivot Layout: 72.5mm High Pivot Layout: 830mm RRID8T: 325mm Team DH: High SSFR: 7S.8mm Tean-Pivot Suspension: 2S.5mm Tean-Pivot Suspbnrti: 36Smm Rull DK18K2: 13S Shops Now please stop posting.

But the news is that nearly one year after that news, it's still news... ;-) This has indeed been teased for quite some time, but it really sounded like it's actually going to happen now. We'll see I guess.

I finally finished my 32er! The fork has some spacers I made preventing tire/crown bottom out. I think it's around 100mm of travel now. I designed it around a 535mm a2c. Overall I'm enjoying it, it's got a lot of cornering traction and feels very peaceful to ride, not frenetic in the slightest. It's VERY efficient and holds speed with traction for days. Timing pumps is different, it's less direct. Similar to how a 29er pumps differently than a 26er, but another step less direct than that. I'm running 18 psi front and rear, on my 29er trail bike I'm...

Does anyone know if Cascade will do something with the new Tallboy? It would be cool to have mullet link, especially if the 5010 is no longer a thing. Just doing my best to look for rumors for the remainder of the year.

I have a 600wh in frame battery with a 250w range extender on my bike, which makes 750w of max power. I have zero issues soft pedaling my way into 4,500' elevation gain rides in boost mode. I also do plenty of epic 7,500' elevation gain rides in mid power modes on this bike. Lamenting 600wh internal frame batteries is quite frankly lame and imo based on a desire for more power then is necessary or laziness. 200wh doesn't make or break any rides I want to do and 3lbs of weight on the bike not up high is a...

Well that is clearly not going to happen next year, as the PDF states a total of 30 riders across both male and female categories. I wonder why so many people reference WB and the World Cups here. This is not a zero sum game. We are getting excellent World Cup racing, new Hardline tracks and now this series with huge prize money. If you don't see the value in paying to watch World Cups, don't. If Hardline ain't your thing, then avoid it. And if this new series also annoys you, how about you don't pay to watch and...

I installed hardwired Di2 on to my Bosch Wild with 11 speed Linkglide. I removed a SRAM 11 speed so the weight gain was significant which in my head bummed me out, although it's the exact same weight as GX T-Type. Imagine my surprise when not only was the gear spread much nicer, not only did I gain a lot of functionality, not only does the Linkglide shift positively and amazing (95% as smooth as T-type, but faster), not only did my running cost go way down and my relaibility went way up, but shockingly my rear suspension instantly got...

Why? do you not like the unwanted attention?

The problem with internal cable routing really comes down to the fact that suspension forks currently don't allow for hidden hoses. I think, based on what happened in road and gravel, that if that possibility existed, headset cable routing would become extremely common. I think a lot of brands were worried about the sales floor problem that happened with road bikes of having a rats nest compete with an integrated bike. Imagine how much money some brands lost as a result of that. Add to that, they are in a position where they have to predict the future, and they...
