The LT looks pretty rad. I actually think lower stack is the move, I got an XL Hightower 4 recently with a 658 stack and I had to lower the stem pretty far to get it to corner how I prefer. would rather have a 640ish stack and run a big riser bar. I'll look forwards to getting one on a 40% sale from Backcountry in 4 years... $8400 for a complete or $5k frame is indefensible for a non ebike IMO.

It's actually 127mm in XL? https://yeticycles.com/en-us/bikes/lt/geometry As an XL rider, this geometry actually looks pretty amazing, just need some spacers and a riser bar. Also the alternative color way is a looker:

Let’s just bring the Zerode g1 gear box design back. Someone make a lugged bike with DW dual chain and a Alfine di2 11speed

I think you have it backwards regarding their argument. I think they are saying that left foot forward means your right is back, which would likely put it in the way of most danger-eating objects first. You are more aware of what might strike your foot/pedal and try to veer away. If you are right foot forward, nothing else stands...

My guess is they’ll phase out the aluminum Reserve products to position Reserve as the premium product with a premium warranty. It would be a sneaky way to quietly stop offering a lifetime warranty/replacement on aluminum wheels too.

They're not new to ebikes as a manufacturer, but most of their work has been selling white label motors to other companies, kind of like Brose was focusing on for a while. For example, Gobao makes the motor for the Aventon bikes that Tippie is riding now.

Understand the sentiment, but this is where the newest in new development seems to be happening.

With how sensitive 1x derailleurs became to misalignment of the hanger, it makes sense to beef up the mount. Either do it directly (transmission) or the way 8pins does it. Frames are also much stronger today than they were before, especially if you have an UDH mount.

Wasn't this settled shortly after the people-standing-on-derailleurs stuff? The axle takes the direct load, not the frame (or am I misremembering?)

Yeti loves their low stack... almost as much as Pivot loves a short CS.
