you don't get it, it's a freakin yeti!! 😉 plus it's finally a new highend trail/enduro bike from a major bike brand without a motor 😛

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

I typically use the climb switch once per ride. I like to turn it on halfway up the climb when I remember I have it and might as well use it. I tend to turn it off halfway down the descent when I’m puzzling over why my suspension isn’t working. I suspect I am not in the minority.

The reason flight attendant has a huge uptake in XC is because SRAM sponsored teams are required to run it. I know four different world cup athletes and they have all said they would just prefer a manual lockout. When it works properly it's alright but it's heavy and frequently has connectivity problems between all the components. It seems more casual users like it with one less thing to think about while riding and the weight doesn't matter to a more casual rider. As for trail/enduro bikes, ever wonder why every single SRAM EWS athlete stopped riding LYRIK and started...

https://www.performancetrends.com/PDFs/Ohlins-TTX-Shocks-Tech-Adjustmen… is a pretty good read that talks about using poppet valves in a TTX 40. I'm not an engineer, I don't play one on TV, but I do think that sometimes people on the Internet get wound up concerning the finer points of X vs Y. Everything has tradeoffs and various systems have benefits and limitations so at the end of the day a poor/limited implementation of a system that contains X or Y may not address or overcome those limitations. The flip side of that coin is the limitations may not matter much or be noticeable in the...

Is this an 75% e-bike thread and forum now? Time to say 75% goodbye? Asking for a friend.

The mighty Felt Compulsion returns!!!!* *kinematics and axle pivot locations may vary

XXL Reach will still be a wimpy 495 tho

Arguing about surrons and surron demographics on the MTB tech rumors thread. Sick. I wonder if SRAM considered 6 pistons when working on the Mavens. Maybe after the 1000th piston massage, some SRAM tech was like maybe we should just add 2 more pistons.

@Jason_Schroeder gets a gold metal for calling out no cable routing on the Stumpy. Chef’s kiss

Don’t hate the tool. Hate the “tool.” Utilized in the proper context, they are loads of fun. It’s unfortunately too easy to act the fool on one.

Not really, e4 tend to have a shorter free stoke and a more defined bite point

I can assure you that the momentum of your lever has nothing to do with it.

I always interpreted that as a Trojan horse for headset cable routing

And most of the time they were standing mostly on the axle anyway. It never seemed that impressive. But a good bit they managed to get all these reviewers do for no real reason.

it couldn't have. was happening too fast for anyone too react. From the time of Jed's crash to Troy hitting is bike was around 3 secs.

Yeti loves their low stack... almost as much as Pivot loves a short CS.
