GODDAM this is annoying. The whole point is that thanks to the rear mech mounting to the axle a hanger is NO LONGER NEEDED. The frames still use a UDH mount and tolerances that have been in use for years now. How many UDH frames have you seen where the axle doesn't thread in due to mis alignment? how many frames have wheels off centre due to bad UDH tolerances? The square root of F'All. Most misalignment comes from poorly produced.....................hangers. If the mech is out of alignment with this system, there is a whole lot of F'wittery going on...

If manufacturers can fuck something up they will

Sometimes I don't get the hate Sram receives. We are all arguably on better bikes and better drivetrains because of their push for 1x. One of my favorite bikes ever, the Kona Process 111 was able to be created because of 1x systems (Kona unapologetically designed it without the ability to run a FD). Color me a Sram fanboy if you'd like, but they aren't afraid to shake up the status quo with new innovations. I have AXS on my Spur and run the AXS reverb on 2 different bikes and absolutely love it. I can't wait to see the...

I get what you're saying, but even Ford and Chevy refer to "the new F150" or "the new Silverado" in their marketing materials, which proves that no one in the world actually treats these model names as if they're real names for people. They're object identifiers. I'm not the Charlie, and the Loic Bruni didn't win senior men's world champs last year, but Loic did win on a Demo 8 with the Ohlins DH38.

As a marketing professional it is standard practice to not use "the" or "a" in front of a name. Lyrik and Zeb are names. Table and chair are objects. Everyone does this. Look at Chevy and Ford. They don't use the F150 or The Silverado.

None of this offends me nearly as much as the cringy AF guerilla marketing Abus just tried.

If we're poking fun at SRAM marketing, make sure to pay attention for dropped articles in their new AXS press release, too. SRAM hates articles like "the" or "a" in front of their products names. "Lyrik has the most efficient... blah blah blah" or "Zeb is the stiffest... blah blah blah." If you or I talked like that people would think we're crazy. "I drink Coffee ® out of Mug ® that I put on Table ® while I sit in Chair ®."

That´s true, not even women of the owner family. (I´ve got the full German article if someone´s interested.) ABUS - Wikipedia They probably think that Texi fits as an ambassador for them as he´s Christian as well (albeit it seems like he´s not as medieval as the Abus owners are)

also abus is a piece of shit misogynistic company with links to evangelical cults which doesn’t allow women in leadership positions

Found a spy pic of the new knolly

Old does not mean obsolete 😆

Kinda funny that Richie Rude won South Africa on the same Saint groupset that's on this prototype 10 years later.

It says Sixfinity on the website but where is it hiding? Looks like the rocker could potentially actually be a split pivot and it also looks like something hiding in the seat tube behind the shock area…

I just stumbled on to this link within the 'roots run deep' page https://yeticycles.com/technology/special-projects

I don't know anything about this.

i know the BC woods are dark, but dang! ENHANCE PROTO YETI DH BIKE

Quote at the bottom of the Richie video: “ IT’S BEEN HUMBLING SEEING YETI WORK HARD TO BRING A DH RACE BIKE TO LIFE WITHOUT COMPROMISE. AFTER LEAVING THE SPORT ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO IT’S EXCITING TO GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE INVOLVED WITH ANOTHER YETI SPECIAL PROJECT. RACING ENDURO OVER THE PAST DECADE HAS BEEN REALLY FULFILLING, BUT I AM EAGER TO EXPLORE DH AGAIN. I WANT TO PUSH MYSELF AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND GET IN TUNE WITH THAT DH MENTALITY AGAIN AND IDEALLY BRING THOSE BENEFITS OVER TO ENDURO. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, I JUST WANT...

It's a shock version of the totem. Called the scrotem. I'm guessing it'll be extra supple and sensitive.

The new air shock?
