Echoing other comments, just a beautiful bike. Enjoyed reading the parts list; a few anchor brands bring coherency to the build, with personal/job-specific preferences elsewhere. The hope tech 4s, nobls, and michelins are what make this a really intriguing ride experience imo. I think it's gonna be a good summer!

Why not keep both an option? As fickle and tradey/swappy as people seem to be these days, why not have both options for easier resale. it's not that much extra weight. #onelesspart#

Surely that's a development shock sporting both a trunion and a standard eyelet mount from Vorsprung?

https://escapecollective.cc/cervelo-turned-a-full-suspension-bike-into-… So in the short track race of last weekend's XC World Cup in Nove Mesto, one of the Jumbo Visma guys was running his new Cervelo full-suspension bike with an interesting modification. The bike is a linkage-driven single pivot layout with flex-stays (as most XC bikes tend to be these days), but instead of the regular shock linkage and rear shock, the bike was equipped with a solid aluminium strut that replaced the shock and shock linkage - effectively turning the bike into a hardtail. The background to this might be that in 20-minute XCC short track events, the...

The stiffy (anyone remember that classic apirl fools). Yeah, I could see it becoming more common but probably not universal. A hardtail isn't better for every short track course. I'm not certain, but I believe that rule was put in place to make it easier for smaller teams and privateers logistically. If they ban it, then people will just make rigid units that look like a shock. A mock shock if you like. Edit: for all we know, many teams might already be using a mock shock. Maybe mock bearings too.

Allright, watching XCC at Eurosport as we speak. The camera work and coverage looks good. But the commentary for the Dutch-speaking Eurosport is horrific. A cringeworthy combo of road-focused commentators with a high dose of ''mainstream-ism'' thrown in. Probably exactly what the Eurosport wants in order to get ahold of as much eyes as possible, but damn do I miss the Redbull days with Rob Warner and all the other skilled commentators. And this was the XCC... Can't wait for the same commentators during DH are going to be talking about '' Death defying stunts and acrobatics.''

TEAMROBOT Liked a reply to forum topic X0 vs XX Transmission Cassette difference?
5/5/2023 9:06am
The amazing part is there are people lining up to buy those $1000 cassettes. Helpful for me to remember that I'm not the target demographic, because if replacing a cassette cost me $1000 I would probably quit mountain biking. Side note about SRAM cassette materials- I'm the third owner of a SRAM 11-speed XX1 cassette with thousands of miles on it, and it still shifts better (and quieter) than a brand new GX 1150 pinned cassette. So whatever steel they used for those old super high-end X-Dome cassettes, it was worth it. Funny part is, those old XX1 cassettes were...

Still on a XX 10-speed 11-36 cassette i got as a free bonus with some Easton Haven wheels. Trouble-free ever since, not regularly cleaned. Will change it soon with a 11-speed cassette from another brand i got for 50euro only cause i have a bug in my head and wanna try something different and out of the ordinary. Can’t really understand people wanting to spend 600-700$ US on a cassette…

5/5/2023 6:50am Same experience here concerning the older 11-speed XX1. Got one "lightly" used on PB buy/sell for $100 about two years ago and its performance remains excellent - super light too, can't recall the figure but I feel like it's around 300g. I have no interest or need in 12-speed/$1000 cassettes and a well-tuned GX derailleur w/xx1 provides fast and silky...

5/3/2023 4:54pm I'm 5'8" and have been on the conservative side of short for about a year - 165. Previously on 175 my entire biking life (~20 years, I'm 34 just so we have all the metrics out there). After about a month, I got 165s for my gravel bike, too. I'd love to try 155s but it's not in the budget...

Looks like a photoshop job to me. The linkages don't make sense at all. That's a Fox fender on a RS fork. The really slack seat angle looks like it was from 1-2 generations back.
