While yes there are charts proving it is stiffer, I do not doubt that side at all, more whether it's needed. With so many different manufacturers having varying results in terms of stiffness vs compliance and resulting grip and comfort. What's to say 142 isn't already enough? I certainly don't hop on my 142x12 hub'd bikes and wish they were stiffer.

There you go, that's the spirit, talking about effective seat tube angles and actual angles in line with the industry. Which is the core issue I was trying to point in with my previous comment. With actual and effective angles differing by so much (what is the actual angle on this frame, BTW?), regardless if it's a bent or straight, offset tube, the issue is the same for (extra)large riders. With 800 mm and more of seat height, the horizontal position over the BB is nowhere near a 75 degree seat angle. Offset and bent seat tubes work perfectly for...

So if it's a different offset is it similar deal to running a 142 hub in 148 frame with adapters and spacers? Like 20x110 vs 20x110boost? Cause I've ridden a couple frames with 150 spacing that have proven to be too stiff leading to reduction in performance and comfort, is this a case of stuffer must be better? Or do we have quantifiable data?

What's not made clear as far as I could see is whether current 12x157 dh hubs are what is being used or some conveniently same width but different off set flanges, freehub and rotor mount or not.

"They’re sealed back up with a bonded plate keeping the cranks extremely but also light" Pretty sure there is a word missing there.

7/20/2016 12:33am Funny thing is, carbon v10 is the one I regret buying, I got it because it was cheap of a mate, mind didn't help that the one bike I regret selling was the one I had before it, a orange 224 evo. Sure the v10 could handle the big hits better, but 224 evo out shone it in every other...
