I miss when people used to draw silly little drawings of things. They were fun and whimsical and now its like "oh, a computer made that with no effort" and it takes the fun out of the photos.

AI is gay

I think it might be the use of AI. A lot of people hate it, me included.

Okay so a 435 chainstay is short for both a size small and an XL? This makes zero sense. That size small is going to ride similar to an XL with a 460 chainstay. So they’ve got a massive rear center for a small and an tiny one for an XL… Is this really that difficult for people to understand?

You’re actually reinforcing exactly what I already said, so I’ll repeat it: “It’s funny—people who swear by ‘short chainstays’ also defend 435 mm across all sizes. That’s basically saying chainstay length doesn’t matter. And let’s be honest, 435 isn’t short on a size small.” You say you like short chainstays and that I’m wrong for calling Evil out—but you’re missing the point. Evil clearly doesn’t think 435 mm is the “right” short chainstay for their size Small Offering, because 435 is proportionally massive on a frame with a 440 mm reach. It’s a cost-cutting decision, plain and simple—as Evil themselves...

That does feel a little steep for a traditional drivetrain frameset, but then again.. pricing is all tarrific these days 🙄. I’m sure if there were no tariff war, these would be a lot less expensive.

do tell me, in which topic should we discuss the chainstay length of the new evil if not in this one?

But seriously, are size-specific chainstays even a debate at this point? I get wanting a “short” chainstay, but shouldn’t it be proportionally short for each frame size? A 435 mm chainstay paired with a 440 mm reach versus a 500 mm reach is going to feel completely different. It’s funny—people who swear by “short chainstays” seem to also defend a 435 mm across all sizes. That’s basically saying chainstay length doesn’t matter. And let’s be honest, 435 isn’t short on a size small.

Nobody’s buying a modern trail or enduro bike with a 66° head tube angle anymore. We need to stop pretending geometry is just “personal preference.” As the sport evolves, we learn what works — and some setups are objectively outdated. 26" wheels are dead. Steep head tube angles are dead. The list goes on. Designing every frame size with the same 435mm chainstay is a cost-cutting move, plain and simple. Anyone who actually understands bike dynamics knows how critical chainstay length is to ride feel — and it makes zero sense for a size Small and a size XL to...

just offer one size then, saves even more by having only one mold!!1111

Greeting people with "what's up assholes?" in videos is not poor attitudes. Leave Unc alone, he's honest and he works hard to spread the good word of long rear centres.

I've got a beer can shim and carbon paste that keeps my post where I want it..

But is it laterally stiff while maintaining vertical compliance?!?

As a tall rider that answer sucks.
