John Tomac is widely considered one of the greatest (American) mountain bike racers of all time. During the early years of international racing he won numerous DH and XC events. He went on to be the namesake and involved with Tomac bikes. The 204 DH frame in the photo was their flagship model. The bike company then ceased to exist (in the late 2000s?). I also believe he helped coach several (a lot?) of racers over the years including Aaron Gwin for a time. Finally, if you’re into motocross, he is the father of Eli Tomac. Basically John Tomac was...

If you read your own AI slop you’ll see that Bosch has Heart Rate Monitoring AND it has an Auto mode however nothing indicates any integration between the two. Auto mode does NOT monitor your heart rate in order to deliver power and stay in a targeted HR zone.

Fox has E-Optimized and E-Tuned forks, the later sounding like what you have. E-Tuned is just a damper tune. E-Optimized incorporates structural changes to the crown and lowers, along with an E-Tuned damper. You can run regular Fox forks on an e-bike and they work great (what I do).

Reading the article on PB this is more interesting than what is being reported... According to DYEDBro there are 3 main points, with point 1 being: " 1) The co-owner of Dyedbro is also the co-owner of VHS. His partner at VHS attempted to sell the VHS assets out from under him without notice, consent or approval in violation of the VHS shareholder agreement and the law." If true then that does put a different light on this... Could be an interesting one to look into further, but I doubt we'd ever get to see either the shareholder agreement or...

Why on earth would that specialized levo monstrosity only come in an sworks model... or even an sworks model at all? Why would the prospective buyer for this bike ever want factory level suspension, maven ultimate, XX transmission, with carbon wheels, bars etc? I envision the buyer for this being a commuter with too much money, a dentist that also does trail work or anyone with more ego/narcissism then common sense. Either way, none of the buyers I can project would want to shave 2-3lbs off of this bike and pay 4k more for it. The previous bike that was...

Uh, that's most bike buyers. The number of people that I've sold bikes to who don't care/know what the knobs do is... the majority. We do our best to educate, but I could see their eyes glaze over in the first 10 seconds. The number of customers who care about how suspension works is less than 5% in my experience.
