You guys can deny it all you want, but everybody I know is planning their exit from Cali. Every one of those families uprooting and leaving was for political reasons and came at great pain and expense. At least 20 I know personally have gone with their entire families (multiple properties sold in most cases) . I'm just delayed to allow my kid to graduate with his buddies. There is a reason most companies not related to Social Media or locked into a service type business are leaving or planning on it. Looks like Aaron already got it done, but...

So the insane taxes, fees, water mandates, costs of electricity ,gas, coddling of drug addicts and mental patients , racist teaching policies, dystopian/tyrannical mask and vax requirements, pedo approved laws, I could go on. None of that is government related ? Or you just approve of all of it? Please stay here. Don't go anywhere else and screw it up with your bizarre beliefs or naivete. They really should enact policies to stop any voting by new residents in these states for 5-10 years to prevent Cali refugees from ruining the states they flee to. As a refugee from this...

Nothing new, it's been happening since the 80's. To quote Chris Herting of Yeti Cycles on their move from SoCal to Colorado; "All I need is one trip back to Cali to realize how shitty it is there and how great it is here.” 
Make some money in Ca; then bail somewhere that is cheaper, less crowded, and leaves you alone. Best decision I have ever made.

Like many of us he has enough of Cali. After living here my whole life the dystopian and tyrannical government has become untenable. I'm doing the same. Selling the dream house and moving eastward, and at higher elevation.

It's a race bike I guess, getting tired and having sloppy technique shouldn't be that much of a problem for hardcore racers. As in if it is a problem, train more. If the bike is the problem, buy the Spectral. Maybe that was the logic behind it all?

Surprising if Canyon has really gone with the 500 for L / 6ft riders -treatment. Thats a bit 2018 geometry thinking if you ask me.

4/18/2022 4:30pm The new 2023 Canyon Strive CFR will launch tomorrow (or later this week - but definitley this week). It's is a carbon-only 160mm Enduro race bike and it still has the Shape Shifter geometry adjustment system. It's also stupidly long, with over 500 mm reach and a 1300mm wheelbase in size L (!). The head tube angle sits at 63°...

A longer wheelbase makes it harder to weight each wheel as it will require more of a movement to reach the same effect than on a shorter wheelbase. I don't exactly understand if you meant that the "Longer wheelbase makes it easier to weight front and back and makes it easier to feel when one or the other is about to lose traction." That's my experience from having a 1340mm wheelbase bike compared to my previous 1225mm one. is the BS part or that you're claiming that. If it's the BS part, I never said that, I said the opposite...

Not sure exactly if, or what, you are disputing that I said. About half of your comment agrees with what I typed, and the other half ignores it. So, as I stated, Finn’s bike is more progressive, while using a lower leverage rate. As I said, “below 2”. Not 2.1, as 3/2.1 would be less progressive. I’m guessing Loic’s bike is in the low to mid 30% range. 3.3/2.1 is 36.5%, I’m speculating that’s on the upper end, but without having the bikes in front of me with a good way of measuring, I can’t tell 100%. I also can’t...

Longer wheelbase makes it easier to weight front and back and makes it easier to feel when one or the other is about to lose traction. Longer reach does make it easier for "lesser" riders to go faster due to the added stability but it does the same for "pro" riders. Tighter stuff is fine so you as you change riding style/technique. Obviously, if you try to ride a longer bike off the back like a short bike it won't work.
