Dynamic sag is just an average. I will often look at a specific part of the track if he's feeling something weird but generally I rely more on his feeling and our static measurement. He prefers 27.5 rear, but if all the stages were like 1 and 5 we would have considered 29. Most of us mortals couldn't ride any of these setups, it's hard to describe how fast these guys are and how much support they need.

Yeah, i really like schwalbe radial stuff, been riding magic mary for years now. For me if MM had like 1mm higher shoulder knobs it would be absolute perfect tire for me. Right now i'm experimenting with shredda front with cut knobs. Here's my shredda:

Super tight racing at the top. MS1 pretty insane result in 4th. Some of the stages looked savage. Bring back more big silly one day enduro events

I am here for the 30.5s Now this, I like. Dual 30.5s or mullet 30.5/29.

I hate that my first thought was "that looks sweet"

Honestly looks pretty good. Sometimes 29/27 mullets look a little weird because the jump in sizing. This looks just slightly bigger. The bike looks pretty proportional.

Man, I’d love a t7/t9 Cannibal for out back. I imagine we will see a radial version before we see that dual compounds though. The Krytotal Re DH soft out back mixed with the Cannibal up front is a solid combo for Summer though.

it’s a race, not a popularity contest

DT Swiss only doing Aluminium nipples is an absolute felony.

As a professional mechanic I'm surprised at how bad the quality control is in general in mtb. From bad alignment, poor parts spec, lack of proper covers on bearings to shit geo, etc. When clients ask what bikes I'd recommend I'm left scratching my head lol. It feels like the marketing guys decide most stuff, the product managers don't ever ride and/or the engineers are terrible. How is it that ebikes are still specced with EXO tyres, 35mm forks and 12 speed non ebike specific cassettes??? Why does DT Swiss still make straight pull spoke and aluminium nipple wheels??? I...

Im gonna hold out for the Genie tuned mass damper and the Genie O-Chain

As an actual garage bike building hack I don't see any " garage-made welding vibe" here. I see pro level work, 3d printed bb/pivot housing, and spotless welds. The pro that welded this really shouldn't be lumped in with garage level work. You hide "garage-made welding vibe " under paint designed to distract from looking at the welding, you put pro work like this on display in pure raw form.
