So…. Will she be riding a sharpied Trek or Scott?

You think Yeti frames are expensive now, could you imagine if they were actually Made In USA? It would definitely distinguish them from other primo brands.

They sure could use built in dropper posts however. That's a worthwhile upgrade who's time has arrived.

Not only that, but in the event of the shock hardware coming loose and being ridden, a standard eyelet shock is much less likely to suffer damage over a trunnion shock.

Quite boring, aint it? Not much innovation at all

Ah Trunnion: forever the scapegoat for poor frame alignment and QC

I see alot of anti IS headsets here - IS headsets are much like Pressfit BB. It all depends on the frame, if you buy an expensive brand and you say "this brand is nice quality because it cost XXXX amount" You are kidding yourself - Ive had some expensive frames that have Unaligned 'Threadedness' so it used to ruin BB's.. - same with IS headsets where the fork is hard to install because one of the seats are all wonky. On the other hand i've had some cheap frames with Pressfit and they've lasted forever.. because? the damn hole...

ham fists are always maximum torque.

Trunnion shocks, that shit can get in the bin. Would also like to see more frames with spherical mounted shocks, more so in the long travel enduro/DH area.

203 and 233 won’t go away until a certain country accepts the metric standard

Great listen! Interesting to hear about the bike Danny’s been riding, surprised no one’s mentioned that yet…

Perhaps you would care to mention it...

Sram mechs don't have a friction member clutch like Shimano, it's just a wound spring. I'd say in reality, neither of them is an actual "clutch" by definition. The Sram is a lockable high-tension spring, and the Shimano has an adjustable slip friction band. Neither release nor vary the speed of rotation during use as a true clutch would. The issue with a Shimano "clutch" is that it is reactive to suspension movement and chain tension, it is always a milli second behind where it should be, especially as you tighten it to try to reduce noise. Sram derailleurs provide...
