lol it’s true we are all there. Either way it’s a frickin joke when companies claim proportional chainstays and deliver… not proportional chainstays.

While better than/worse than is always comparative, I think when we start narrowing down what discipline of riding is relevant, we can start to have more productive conversations of cs balance without boiling it down to preference. I mean, we can take either to the extreme and say it starts being a bad thing. Nobody wants a 450 reach and a 650 cs. Nobody wants a 450 reach and a 300 cs. When we're talking the big mountain stuff that's relevant to the bikes at hand, something pulling 160+ numbers, we can assume it's going to be made for steeper...

Sizing in 10mm reach increments, spanning 110mm of reach, yet the chainstays only grow 10mm... F/C from 1.74 to 1.98... "perfect fit" Atherton, never change

Reece Wilson on the BMB Raised Reversed stem https://youtu.be/Lv2dSlxHPYA?si=9cXbgcvrMo0CXnfR Reece certainly has a bit of history with kooky setups, but pairing that stem with a large reach and chain stay certainly makes a lot more sense than just putting it on your normal bike. Not something that many people can easily test, but maybe something that if he does well on it, it might make more people who do have easy access to bikes of different sizing might try.

Absolute game changer. Imagine producing a new alloy bar and stem combo and not going 31.8mm🤦♂️

Thank god. I was shopping for bars and stems but just didn’t feel like there were enough options. This might just be the perfect one.

Scrap all the rest of the team rumours, this is the only one that matters. Need to get Gofundme together to buy the rights and launch the team.

I just picked up a fox podium as a loaner for a month to try out. I just got my first ride on it this morning. Initial impressions are quite positive and I was pretty surprised by how sensitive it was, bordering on how my 38 with v2 smashpot feels in terms of willingness to move under small chatter. I'll post more of my impressions as I spend more time with it. Initially I would say that there are grip benefits for off camber corners situations and extremely chunky sections. If I had to boil that down to a number...

Yeah, the press release Michelin sent out didn't contain any of that info, thanks for looking that up! The casing for the Wild Enduro seems to be dual 33 PTI plies, and they do indeed mention GumX for the center knobs and MagicX for the side knobs. They also feature bead-to-bead casing shields for puncture protection. The MS tires are available in 29 or 27.5, 2.40 in both cases, while the MH tires grow to 2.50. The rear is available only as a 29/2.40 for now. Checking the specs for the e-MTB versions, they don't seem all that different to...

And then they can make UDH3, which is the same as UDH1 but uses a slightly different thread pitch for no reason.
