It is a total bummer as they were one of the OG gravity brands. I feel like the market is hyper competitive. Your bikes have to look awesome, ride awesome, be on the cutting edge, have a cool story, and your brand has to be an excellent story teller to stay relevant in order to achieve long term success. In the last 7-8 years, I felt as if Kona was just riding the wave of tech and innovation vs being the wave.

Not that weird. I went to the Tapei show for about a decade and lots of bike brands had booths there. Of course it's primarily a show for suppliers to the industry, but you still see a lot of bike companies, especially if they are based in Asia. That said, perhaps Kona was trying to court potential buyers by having...

Chainstays are scaled by frame size, but are a fixed length not adjustable. Correct?

I think it's more to do with the very specific chain length and system setup on the Transmission stuff that keeps it from being a thing. They want everything based around A fixed chainstay length.

That's a new 153. Caleb is also on one in that video. Looks great, like a smaller X.

What a depressing set of comments today. Biking is a hobby, people can enjoy it as they wish. Get over yourselves and let people be happy. Complaints about other peoples opinions are not tech rumors.

I don't want to stray too far from your point about loading forces as they are certainly a factor, but my factory built Bontranger Line Carbon 30 wheels were 28 J spoke and went just north of a season before they started breaking. I broke four spokes on the rear while pedaling and decided to rebuild both wheels with sapim race and brass nipples. The rebuilt wheels are now on their 3rd season post rebuild without issue and I believe it has more to do with the spoke and nipple choice than the spoke count.
