9/25/2023 10:34am I can confirm this. I upgraded my levers from R's to Ultimate Stealths a few months ago and reused the R calipers. It's a significant improvement. Internally the Ultimate Stealths are the same as RSC's, Reach, Swing-link and Contact adjustments. Only substantial difference is the Stealths have a carbon lever and the lever body is closer to the bars, which...

Not necessarily a rumor (or even an innovation for that matter), but Dave Weagle's DW-Link patent is about to expire in the US.

Unfortunately, many in MTBing, are often confused on the roles played by first the spring rate and how it's used primarily to manage chassis attitude, balance and support and is mostly specific to rider/ bike combined weight & weight distribution; vs. second the role of damping which is utilized to control the rate of the movement of the suspension and is much more specific to the rider and their aggression level and terrain. To put it in the most basic terms, a linear rear suspension with a coil would either a) bottom excessively, or b) have to utilize too much...

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...

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.
