Let’s not let the OG rumors thread saga end talking about folks saddle nose angle preference. In the nature of rumors: - heard rumblings from a brand that makes a flex pivot XC bike of pushing the flex pivot into larger travel aka trail categories. Could be a replacement for the tallboy. Bringing the Blur LT back? - spotted a production looking fox 40 in the wild - generative arch - regular sticker kit and gloss - new 40 and 38 release before sea otter? Back to back days like the 36 and 34sl?

- 32" will happen - More brands will release radial-ish tires - Gravel suspension gets real/more adoption (and as a result tire widths get narrower, at least for racing) World Cup Enduro dies - RIP

This. Oven cleaner removes the annodizing (or annodized color) it can make it so easy. But I found some parts fully resisted the oven cleaner. I don't know the why for the resistance.

Soaking parts in oven cleaner works well for stripping, and then purple scotch brite pads to further clean it up. Sandpaper away for the polished finish. Mother's auto wax to really make it shine.

I polished the seat clamp, axle, brake hose ends, and crank arms on my first Ripmo. I used a bench grinder with a well worn stainless steel wire brush wheel to mechanically strip the black ano from the parts. Time over pressure. Deep scratches greatly increase polishing effort. Built shine from there with varying grades of both scotch brite and polishing compound. The better your final finish, the less maintenance required to maintain. No clear coating required. Still running all of these parts on a Ripmo V2 and they’ve held up well.

With a saddle angled nose up, it is much easier to move the bike around underneath you and get your butt more towards the rear axle. Don’t believe me, that’s fine. Look at all the World Cup bikes or even bikes at a local dh race. I don’t love the idea of buying something else additional for my already expensive bike(s). I did try this though with a bike that has a 210 dropper, but needed a 240. It now makes it much more rideable and keeps me from having to slam the seat when things get steep going down...

It's very useful if you ride steep both up and down. More efficient uphill position so you don't have to fight to not slip back on the saddle. On the way down it provides extra clearance so it's like having a longer dropper.
