Would love to see a new carbon rim shootout. One bike multiple rims and a series of repeatable tests. Noble's Sine-wave rims, the new crop of WAO rims, the Cranks brothers Synthesis, the Revel carbon rim, SC reserves and whoever else wants in. I wanna see these all stacked up against each-other and see what kind of things we can learn. So many great options out there but many of them going about it in slightly different ways and what not.... Oh let's bring those high roller Zipp wheels too. There was a lot of shaft stroking from them about...

As a serial decal remover, I am happy when it's not a waterslide decal. I don't like looking like Ricky Bobby, with a giant Wonderbread ad on my bike.

Awesome roundup! Would love to see a chart like you guys did for the pedal shootout rating things like grip, stiffness, width, arch support, hiking traction, etc.

Where can you see the chainguide? Also a Forbidden would have a lower guide. My money is on the new Nomad - stem also looks like a Burgtec.

Nope. All riders want better bikes. For some that could mean a more fun bike, a more lively bike, a smaller (less travel), lighter bike. Some riders want to have fun regardless of the times they post on Strava, if they even post rides in strava. If all riders wanted faster bikes, 27,5" would have been dead a few years ago and it is in XC where the most important thing is in fact that the bike is fast and efficient. Not so when it comes to recreational trail riding. Or freeride. Or dirtjumps. Etc.

Dual uprights on the rear triangle. Size specific chainstay lengths. You seem to have some animosity towards Santa Cruz. They are not nearly as exclusive as you have made them out to be in your mind. When a bike is launched that doesn’t fit my needs or is from a brand I’m not crazy about, I don’t rag on it online. I just don’t purchase it.

Effiegear seams like a better fit for DH, or a better fit for the high pivot placement.

12/4/2020 6:29pm
I don't think the compression ratio of a tire is anywhere near high enough for the reduced air volume to make any difference. Your tire only ever gets compressed in one spot. Let's say you compress a 2" section out of the ~90" circumference of your wheel. That's equivalent to compressing a 150mm fork by less than 4mm. Even if you max that fork out with volume spacers, it's not going to make a significant difference in the first 4mm of travel. If you're feeling any added progression from running a tire insert, I would presume it's from actually hitting...

Push ACS3 MSRP is $389USD including spring - Jenson sell it for $309 WITHOUT spring. Our MSRP is ~$315USD including spring. We use hydraulic anti-bottoming so that you don't have a spring plunger physically impacting an air spring plunger mid travel. There are no moving seals to worry about wearing out, no air seals to leak, and it dissipates kinetic energy instead of storing it and then releasing it again - there's a reason it's easier to tune rebound damping with linear springs than progressive ones. It can provide equivalent bottoming resistance with lower peak forces too, because peak hydraulic...

As posted elsewhere: the Push kit is a really good concept - coil performance for the first 2/3 of the travel with an adjustable anti-bottoming system. Fundamentally both the ACS and Smashpot are pretty similar there, and with any given spring rate you'll notice absolutely zero difference in performance during the first 2/3rds of so of the travel since a coil spring is a coil spring. Both have anti-bottoming systems which as a whole achieve a pretty similar thing. However, the Smashpot is cheaper, has internally adjustable travel, goes to both longer AND shorter travel settings, has a wider range...

I ride a hardtail with a Pinion gearbox and I really can't feel any drag from the drivetrain. if it were a road bike on smooth roads, sure you would feel it. Also 600% is way too much range for general mtb usage. I rarely use 1st gear and never get above 9/10 on the trail. only when going for it on a flat road do I reach 12. Next time I'd save the 200g and go with 9 speed.
