150/140, and it's supposed to be pretty light. Can't remember where I saw those numbers though

Not a rumor: silver dorados are dope. Remind me of shivers so much. Not a rumor: carbon dorados are ( more classy) classic.

https://www.bikeradar.com/news/add-weight-go-faster-orange-bucks-the-li… WHATS OLD IS NEW AGAIN. Chris Porter has been not-so-secretly adding weights to world cup DH bikes since the early 2010s, apparently. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=myFJTO8mdtw Then there's this from nearly a decade ago, TLDR Stott and Porter find that weights make average Joe's faster, but not his hand selected Pro riders (at least for this track)

Spotted an interesting DH bike in Verbier today, gearbox, high pivot and the rider was wearing what looks a Whyte Bikes t-shirt

Long time reader, first time poster. I've heard rumours of an an Ibis HD7 this year from my LBS, and just noticed that the Ibis Ripmo & Ripley have had their build specs updated with the new deore groupset yet the HD6 hasn't..

They have nothing wrong with their bikes. Like remove the brand from the frame and Im intrigued. But you put ari on it and I just hate it. Astroturfing, diapers and basic bikes to look like theyre apart of the same boat as Canyon or Specialized, then they just have this design… they just infuriate me lol.

especially that blue hardtail... super slack effective seat angle. I don't have the visual cues to work out what size those bikes are, but taller people (their intended market) are going to struggle on that arent they?

I came from XTR 12 speed and now have XO T type. While T type satisfactorily shifts under load, there is no way it is any better than XTR. It still pops and pings and makes some shitty noises when you are really hammering on it, just like XTR. To be clear, they are both really good at shifting under load compared to others. Is there some Kool Aid that was supposed to come in my T type box?

Why would they introduce a new model when they have one with name recognition?

I'm dealing with the dreaded chain not seating/ skipping on the 3rd cog issue on my SO's bike with T90. Shifts great across the range then the ramps on the 3rd cog are too wide or cassette was manufactured out of tolerance spacing. Looking into a cassette warranty now. I find the new T type setup scheme to be more confusing and janky. I never had an issue adjusting a B limit screw or H/L stop. Jamming hex spanner into a slot as a setup datum and hand tensioning the "B limit" while torquing correctly, with EXACTLY the right (proprietary)...

Loic, Finn and Jordan dynamics aside, it's still wild to me that a company the size of Specialized doesn't have an elite woman on the elite downhill team.

Honestly, the lack of "fudgeability" by using the limits + b tension screws to deal with any cable/housing related issues puts a hell of a lot of pressure on the tension adjuster on the sram 90 shifter and its just... not up to the task. I think I'd be singing a different tune if it felt as nice to deal with (and worked as well) as the XO and XX1 stuff did in the previous generation. I recently put an XO DH shifter on a madrone DH jab and my god its so nice, and in my opinion what the...
