In his defense, getting paid for any amount of time vs not getting paid sounds pretty good even if leaves you in a position where you're somewhat unsure.

the PX is $3,400 more than the Remote X, their specs are entirely different, so i wouldn't think the X holds a candle to the PX. the Remote bikes are comparable to the amflow PR on spec/price. on the trail (at least going up the hill) will be an entirely different story, and i fully agree that any brand going against an avinox system right now has a battle on their hands. the only saving grace (for now) is that amflows seem to be basically vaporware. correct me if it's changed, but everything i've read says most april pre-orders still...

Spotted an interesting DH bike in Verbier today, gearbox, high pivot and the rider was wearing what looks a Whyte Bikes t-shirt

With the wildfires in Canada - is the WC in Whistler in danger? 😉 I'v been in Les Gets last week. All safe (at the moment)

Just to feedback on longer term performance of Mary Gravity Radial as requested... I have run Ultra Soft Front/Soft Rear on my DH bike (Trek Session) for the past two weeks at Tignes/Val, Pila, Les Arcs, Les Saisies, Chatel, Champery World cup track, and rounding it off with a 10km vertical day at Morgins. Faultless! The grip is sensational, it hooks up on lines where you wouldn't expect it to stick. It rarely burps (no sealant down the sidewall, hardly loses pressure after a day), and you can actually run at pressures similar to conventional tyres if you accept the...

It's possible they locked the production bike at a certain point and the world cup team is still fiddling extracting more performance. You don't need to produce what the team is riding, there could be differences to make the bike more palatable to the general public...

with significantly expanded access to various outside the norm construction techniques.... will more small boutique makers be able to ramp their mfg capacities in the shrinking market? combined with inflationary affects and DTC sales, it seems like we could see a bunch of weird bikes being better available int he coming years, if the economy doesn't kill the makers and designers off..... wound carbon, epoxy and printed lugs seems like I could do it, and im an idiot.

Dang that looks production and incredibly sick 😯 Say that Vital had access to know more about this bike, what would you want to know? ( hypothetically speaking

Yeti Sixfinity enduro bike from la thuile pits here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/yeti-sixfinity-enduro-bike-spotted-… (in its own thread as to not disturb efficiency discussions : )

intellectual property is such a waste. Wasn’t the syndicate DIYing these a decade ago?

I run the Galfer green front and Galfer black in the rear of my TRPs and find the blacks better. I sand the rotors and do the full bed in process before riding and have never found the greens to offer anymore bite to the front brake, and they wear quick. I previously used the Galfer purple in the rear and while they were good, I wouldn’t say they were better than the black pads currently in the rear. It may be my braking habits (drag in steep terrain) that have caused me to have this experience. Hope this helps!

It does. They have 9-45t cassettes already.
