Nothing interesting then, more of a facelift. Still using a 55mm stroke shock for 160mm of travel while almost all of the competitors use AT LEAST 60mm of stroke, with most actually using 65mm. Not good for the leverage ratio with this 55mm stroke... Otherwise, it’s even prettier than before.

"I've read from some full time guides (NSMB Kryptotal review comments) that Conti is the best wearing stickeee rubber," That is my experience as well. Rode a lot on the Baron and Kaiser Projekt tires in the past and now on Kryptotal Soft compound (I don't really need the supersoft compound for my riding and rather save a little money)...

I like how these pictures illustrate that the rim flattens and the side spokes try to counteract these forces, it's metioned in the Park Tool video. However, the argument that no spoke can transfer compressive load is somewhat misleading. As shown on the tensegrity structures, what really happens is that the pre-tensioned spokes actually can bear compressive load without being subjected to compressive stress just by decreasing the preload force. Once the compressive force that a spoke carries exceeds the preload force of this same spoke, the spoke actually needs to be subjected to compressive stess to carry load, but...

By the way. I just remembered a very interesting book about structural mechanics that is very intuitive and does not require math at all: https://www.amazon.de/face-failure-nature-engineering/dp/3923704437/ref… I've seen experienced engineers totally drool over it, don't underestimate it just because it has these weird cartoonish pictures and no math. It's written by a German theoretical physist and material failure scientist Claus Matthek, here's his photo, check it out. It's a great present gift too for those interested in engineering or like to build stuff.

Frame: Anything from Nicolai, especially the G1. These things are built well and not for weight-weenies.will survive pretty much everything. Wheels: DT-Swiss are great, even entry level E1900 are pretty good. Dropper: BikeYoke is the best. If you are on a budget, BrandX and so on work pretty well as well. No Reverb! Brakes: Formula Cura 2. Sram has good...
