I hear you. I spend a lot of time building applications and keep getting reminded of "The Bitter Lesson," so I might be a touch jaded here. My take: a large context SOTA model with tool calling (web search + code sandbox) in a simple chat interface will probably outperform a purpose-built web app, unless you've got something heavily quantitative on the suspension side that actually needs a database. Think about it this way: over a full summer of suspension work, you're highly unlikely to exceed the context window of a modern model. That means a chat thread can hold...

That’s actually a good example of what I mean. Once you move from a blank chat into a structured tool with saved setup, specific inputs, and a repeatable tuning flow, you’re already pretty close to what I’m trying to build. The value to me isn’t just “use a model,” it’s making the process more consistent and useful over time for...
Fair question. You probably could use the raw model on its own, but what I’m trying to build is more the structure around it. For suspension tuning, the hard part usually isn’t just getting an answer, it’s getting consistent input, keeping the bike/setup context, and narrowing things down to one clear next change instead of a broad conversation that can...

Greeting Vital MTBer, Over the years a lot of riders have asked me for help with suspension setup, and I kept seeing the same problem: they know the bike feels wrong, but they’re not always sure how to describe it clearly or which adjustment actually matches what they’re feeling. So I built a web app called Trailogic around that idea...
