Knolly wanted to sue Intense for less than this a few years ago, apparently they patented the seat tube-downtube intersection at a specific angle... we'll see what they do with this one 😬 "This patent describes a rear suspension system with at least four inches of travel and a seat tube that can accommodate a dropper seat post with at least four inches of travel. The patent also states that the seat tube intersects the downtube above the bottom bracket at an angle between 50° and 75° relative to the horizontal." https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/Knolly-Suing-Intense-Claiming…

At least the Shimano mechanism is consistent and reliable. I’ve generally had good luck with most OneUp products, but even after trying the fix kit they sent for these brand-new pedals, the unclipping mechanism still feels inconsistent. I also doubt the pedals are truly “out of stock.” My guess is they pulled them from shelves because of the known issues and are working on another update. They never should have released the pedals in their current state.

For some reason they still have the pins/platforms on two different levels though, something which I already hate with the Saint pedal as well. I am currently using the oneup pedals, super happy with them - Want to put them on a new build but they are out of stock eternally.

Heavy lever pull is bad. Heavy lever pull as a consequence of a progressive leverage ratio that gives a lot of pad retract AND a lot of power is a good thing. You can't have everything... As for variable leverage ratio (lever feel), Lewis actually does this...

I think people believe that certain frame designs like horst link or split pivot have no influence from the brake on the suspension, so a floating brake wouldn't do anything. The marketing from some of those frames kind of gave that impression. Really they (floating brakes) can alter the braking characteristic of almost any bike in either direction as well (more or less anti rise)

36lbs for a medium alloy frame with a coil shock, heavy hubs, and DH tires is actually really good.

Manufacturer wise it should make sense as they buy the gear and "make" the frame so the margins should be higher. Problem is most of the brands also buy the frames 😂

These builds always perplex me. "Yeah, I definitely need a carbon frame on my DH bike... but the base model Boxxer and Vivid, and the MT520 brakes should be fine, right?"
