Polygon is basically the in house brand of a manufacturer that also does Marin, Scott and Kona’s bikes so they can rely on the business as well.

There you have it people, the current pricing trend is Tim's fault for designing the 10k Felt road bike back in the late 00's.

Does anyone seriously believe that 99% of the people in this thread aren’t also in the PB comments. The irony of claiming PB is filled with virtue signalers, while simultaneously saying Vital is better than PB. Both sites have their differences and are staples.

"While you were partying, I ̶s̶t̶u̶d̶i̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶l̶a̶d̶e̶ designed an electric road bike." As for the loss of SLX, there was too much fragmentation going on even in Shimano's four "serious" MTB groupsets. Each added feature was a new product level. Chances are if you want one of the features of XT that Deore doesn't have, you want all of them. SLX did have the nicest paint colour though, so that's a shame.

Looks like Specialized is taking your advice of " be deliberate with how you are positioning a product in the market". https://www.specialized.com/us/en/vado-sl-2-ltd-s-racing/p/4293307?colo…

Yeah dude if you don’t have a couple e-fats hanging off the back of the RV don’t even bother showing up to the 50s diner sports bar in this town. Names like PEDALOOG and VICTROX in big silver letters on the big square downtube beam member are a bonus.

This is a great question! At the most basic level, grip = friction x force. There's a fixed amount of mechanical friction that can occur between the ground and the durometer of the rubber for any given amount of force, so a single row of side knobs maximizes the force distributed onto those knobs (as opposed to distributing it across the side knobs and the transition knobs, which would be a larger total surface area). Think of it like stepping on a single nail vs. lying down on a bed of nails. A single nail can puncture even a thick...

But it's modular now, you only have to replace the broken part not the whole derailleur. (Pay no attention to the fact that the individual replaceable parts are more expensive than an entire derailleur.)

Finally! A proper electronic DH rear derailleur. I've been wondering when we'd be able to pay $1500 to ruin three derailleurs on the same rock in one race weekend. Can't come fast enough.

Interesting timing as I have been going through some hub/axle stuff as well. Fully Floating System What is found on inverted dirt bike forks; the fork axle can pass competently through the non-disk fork lug, and the hub end cap does not make contact with the ND fork lug. When the axle is tightened, the hub is pulled against the disk side fork lug, just like the Cannondale Lefty. Hub width has no effect on chassis alignment. Non-Floating System A system where the fork axle bottoms out on the outside of the fork lug and squeezes the hub between the...

8/7/2025 2:37pm I have an older version of the Vaude Uphill 16 that has more mileage than any of my bikes, as I pretty much always ride with a backpack (overprepared is my 2nd name). It's proper light for a 16L and I've never felt that it moves around too much, granted I've never tried it with a water bladder. The downside...
