I think all it might take is for a product manager to go to a bike shop for whatever reason and spot the wall of tyres for $100+ a pop...

Friend of mine has been beating the crap out of them ever since they were available. A lot tougher than I expected. The argument that it would be hard to source one on a trip is kind of silly. You can literally just put a couple in your pocket…

I'm waiting for someone to make the claim they have the roundest wheel ever.

Was the front hub the one that you can convert to 20mm? (ISO AB i think they called it) My TR-11 has one CL and one 6b King because the 20mm hub was 6b only and the 148 was CL only.

I bought my Druid off of a factory rider and it came with one 6bolt and one CL hub. He couldn't explain it, they were all that way. The best/worst of both worlds.

I bet Dario can make an amazing Americano.

A Vital MTB Tech Rumors contributors and enjoyers meetup would be a secret society event I would be fired up to show up to. Somewhere like Whistler in the summer or an apres sea otter. It could be fully unofficial to uninvolve the legal teams of the vital overlords. We could make a partiful and t shirts. All would be merry. Core lords could flex. I would go.

Wether you love or hate Dario the moment he said "as an architecture major" had me like: "of course you are". 😂

Don’t they all have green ano dials and such? My jadex coil does. It’s a small thing but it looks off on a lot of builds. Fine shock though. The pistachio green fork above looks great.

I would be so much more keen to use DVO products if they moved away from the lime green ano and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I’ll concede that I was a little harsh on the guy yesterday. I’m sure he’s a great dude. I personally find Mike more relatable. I would argue that the real “breath of fresh air” comes from Charlie over here… As for the “boomer core-lord” burn;

Considering that we've got the Marz Shiver, the Manitou Dorado, and the Rockshox RS-1, the statement is completely stupid whatever way you want to swing it.

As a crusty Marzocchi guy who worked there during the Shiver days, even I had a good laugh when people wanted to compare the Fox to the Shiver SC..

Dario is the man…? Beyond this meme I made, he is also pretty detached from real world consumers. I’ve heard he typically says something is “cheap” or very “competitively priced” during their podcast. When another host asks him how much it is - he doesn’t know. 🤨
