LH grip looks to have an ebike/motor lever

I mean he would say that, wouldn't he. Doesn't he also own the business that imports Pivot bikes into the UK? (Besides owning the Pivot Factory racing team I mean.)

Is it just me, or the Demo proto has a reaaaaally steep effective seattube angle?

I'm pretty sure I'm 167cm tall. Not really! I was worried to run the 2.5 on the front but I didn't notice any issues, and because I run DHR2 on the rear I am able to run a 2.4 if I'm running the 471 in the rear. Honestly, I still haven't found my perfect wheel setup/choice yet. Still testing, still learning.

Joe Breeden seems to be getting along dandy fine with the heavy bike in this week's Vital RAW. And I thought people were adding lead weights to their bottom brackets last season. Seems like you have to do a lot of work to shave 5 pounds off a frame. Would be shocked if it's that much.

I don't know what everyone is worrying about, they'll get at least 4 runs before qualifying, thats heaps. I only need 2 for my local races.

He said the original prototype they raced last year was 41-43 or thereabouts. They've had the 'new' prototype (that was light) since the fall and it sounds like it was still too heavy. So this is the next version. That he said 'should be production'. Looks like a lot of loam and mud will collect in there. Love that Jeff is teasing the frame 2 weeks before the season. So bad. Should have been in racer's hands months ago--as Dakota eluded to on the podcast.

That's what he said, but Seth showed that it doesn't actually work. The general consensus is that Jesse just covered his tracks.

Beat me to it. That reservoir looks way different. Probably the wireless stuff?

I get what you meant. Otherwise this thread would be nothing but: "Hey there's a new Specialized Enduro... Go google it for more info" How shit would that be!

That’s a bold move Cotton, let’s see how this plays out for him…

Or may be he’s teasing us and those are 2 different tires - an Assegai and a Wetscream… :D

Looks like a wet scream. Maybe just mis-labeled? Mis-hotpatched?

I spent the last few months wrenching at regional NICA events. I had never seen a 951 anywhere, under any rider, until I started heading out to the high school races. I probably saw a good three or four dozen of those bikes over the course of a handful of races. I don’t know if that’s where most of their business is coming from, but it convinced me at least someone is buying those bikes.

I'll get there. I had a priority list of things to tackle once I changed teams and getting my suspension completely dialled was more important than Flight Attendant.

You cannot polish a turd.

If there was stress testing, they wouldn't need to change the rockers twice per weekend, and have a different looking one each event.......
