If anything DH riders and athletes in general are more professional in their training and racing nowadays, but a lot of times when an athlete says they are here to win, crush their opponents etc… a bunch of people online talk shit: “you need to be more humble”, “you aren’t good enough to talk like that”. DH is smaller but...

You are quite an outlier in body proportions so I get why you don't fit on the V10 well but to call it out as having outdated geometry is questionable when really your fit needs scale to something more like an XXL. Anyway good luck, I'd imagine getting the right fit is hard with a +4 inch ape index. Personally I think SC has nailed the sizing on the V10. At 6ft and a half inch I'm on the middle headset cup and long chainstay setting and it's great. Stable and agile and without a doubt the most confidence inspiring...

I will put it plainly. Big people on little wheels -> frames can accommodate their size => no practical advantage Little people on big wheels -> frames cannot accommodate their size => practical disadvantage There is a fundamental physical advantage for bigger wheels relative to smaller ones in mildly bumpy terrain (XC like). Smaller riders cannot practically access this advantage. There is no disadvantage to small wheels if everyone is on the same wheel size. This is the issue. UCI has regulated road bikes (and others) for decades, sometimes just to keep the classic bicycle aesthetic. It’s funny that they...

You have to consider absolute power as well, not just W/KG. On the road teams have talked about using a “compound score” which is W/KG * 5 minute power. Pidcock for example who is tiny and has greats W/KG gets outclimbed by guys heavier than him all the time and gets destroyed on flatter sections if he’s hitting the wind...

I would say no because you can get an optimal geometry (bar height, TT length, etc.) for all riders easier when you do not have to deal with packaging issues for being able to fit larger wheels into a XS frame.

This is what companies want. You need a new bike bag, a higher price train ticket, a new car, and a new house for your new 32” bike. The Consumerism dream.

Speaking for the US only, cycling infrastructure is terrible across the country with only a few bright spots. I have commuted by bike for twenty years and have had so many near death experiences. Public transit in the US is also woefully underfunded and underdeveloped. That’s by design since the US political system has been corrupted by petroleum/auto money for nearly a century. (also add in distance and weather realities) And I could go on…

Spoken like a boomer core lord. That’s what the viral forums seem to have become though. Dario is actually a breath of fresh air in mountain bike media, same as Jason. His perspective is a welcome change from the usual safe, generic industry takes the rest of the media recycles time and time again.
