I disagree, not a single person in my riding group is down for headset routed cables, most of us would prefer neatly done external given the option between headset and external routing.

Loic talked about the new Specialized DH rig on the Gypsy Tales podcast and mentioned that their linkages can be swapped out/changed to affect how reward (or not) the axle path is. Might just be for testing purpose and won't make it in the production bike. But interesting none the less and will allow them to easily dial in the perfect feel on the test mule.

Druid v2 release

Maybe every bike comes with a drill bit. In all seriousness it'd be interesting to see sales figures at the end of the year to see which version is most popular.

1. do we believe they are going to have two separate bikes (this seems like a long shot) 2. or can you run the cables either way depending on your preference, this would make for a cool litmus test. (again, I think that bike looks great with the cables tidy like that) 3. I'm unsure how to feel about the exchange. Our current society has a confidence in their own singular opinion that sometimes catches me off guard. Im both astounded and worried that the feedback loop can sometimes be both to quick, and flexible, but here we are

Spotted this one. Obviously it’s the old prototype but I never saw any photos of it with paint.

Sounds like commencal might’ve lost enough tempo sales due to cable routing they’ve learned their lesson

I’m not even going to quote your post Noah. May we never have to see that photo of Lord Bummer ever again. Please and thank you.

Bastard. I had forgot about that one.

Those come from SRAM, not Deity. See end of this article - https://www.pinkbike.com/news/sram-releases-stealth-brake-lineup.html

Probably really cuts down the number of pesky fans asking if they can sit on the bike for a photo.

the infamous once-every-decade-someone-poses-nude-on-their-mtb shot strikes again.

The elusive aeromullet too!

Sounds like the prototype specialized DH bike is gonna move to a more conventional construction soon and start selling an updated bike. Via Loïc bruni on Gypsy Tales

Bridging the on and off topics... You magnificent bastard. Those NSB cranks look pretty sweet. They've always seemed like a solid company.
