john_likes_bikes Added a reply to how close are we to peak mountain bike??
8/11/2023 10:53am As long as there's a Marketing and R&D Dept they will always be working towards something. I also think it's human nature to look for greener grass, so we'll constantly be on the ascent to the peak. It's funny I was out of the game for about the last ten years, what I left and what I came back to...

Apologies if this was posted previously, but is Push working on an air shock (or just messing w/ us)?

7/28/2023 2:33pm I'm getting it from reading people's inexperienced opinions and you're also making my point. It DOES NOT have to be electronic to shift "well" and if you read those who have experience it's not "perfect shifting every time." That would be the SRAM marketing dept. Durability on the other hand does seem to set it apart which is certainly not...

Srams' UDH spec models include a cable stop on the "Full mount" Model. Does this mean mechanical Transmission? https://www.universalderailleurhanger.com/

7/28/2023 12:39pm Makes total sense. Every argument I've read saying why it needs to be electronic to work properly doesn't really make sense when there's potential to sell a lot and take advantage of the mounting.

7/26/2023 10:51am Good to see they're still working with WAO for the rims, rather than venture out on their own and end up with something inferior. There's A LOT of established confidence in WAO.

I'm making a lot of assumptions purely from pictures taken as various points of impact but I see setups with a lot of rear suspension bottomed or nearly bottomed, and forks pretty far from bottom. Pretty much every picture, so it could just be the moment on the track, but maybe that setup is preferred? Would it be for any reason? Also, are those Boxxers flexing as much as they look like they are?

7/6/2023 10:19am I'll be tuned in to hear what you think. I've seen this carbon "tech" before and wonder if there are real improvements or if it's more of a placebo effect. Reading the reviews, what I see most is "I increased PSI and it was smoother off the top...etc etc etc" which from reading what some have to say in this...

6/27/2023 12:03pm That approach to sag setup makes total logical sense. I've already added PSI to get closer to 20% in the old parking lot scenario, which seemed safer than setting it up going down hill. 
And I removed the token to see how far I'll get into the travel. Because if I understand @ebruners point of minimum spring weight/preload to...

6/26/2023 3:35pm +1 for Frederick Watershed. Pennsylvania Blue Mountain bike park, might be closer than Snowshoe and there's Skyline in Reading. Mountain Creek in New Jersey is a 4 hour haul but you not in Colorado anymore! You're going to have to drive for some elevation.

6/26/2023 3:14pm My experience where it differs from the previous responses.... Started with a 170mm Select+ with Debonair, Charger 2.1 and 1 token. It was OEM on a Canyon Torque. I'm 195-ish fully kitted. Sag was 30% at 48 psi, which was much lower than the 70 psi trail head recommended, but that's what I needed for 30% sag. I was using...
