The sentinel doesnt need the lower or slacker treatment... it 100% needs steeper & longer. best upgrade you can make to a sentinel is a 1deg headset to steepen the HTA.

Funnily enough, I think you should have stopped way back there somewhere too! But here we are... Anyhoo, snark aside and back to jsray's post. I can easily see a solar trickle feed being enough to run things like flight attendant or a wireless dropper. Maybe not the derailleur.... I mean the whole point of AXS was to stop having cables running thru the frame, so a cable to the electric derailleur would be kinda an odd choice yeah?

9/2/2024 8:39pm high efficiency ambient light photovoltaics are being developed with some level of reasonable promise. I suspect SRAM is jumping on the patent train nice and early on this one so once the solar tech is public they'll be set.

True, although you get a full xt deralieur for the price of a gx transmission cage

according to local trek dealer the rail will be part of the Bosch announcement. Still frustrating the really good gen 4 rail only got released as carbon and higher end spec's.

8/22/2024 4:57am Is there a reason to go 2 bolt over 3 other than securing profit margins?

8/21/2024 5:52pm It seems there's a divergence in philosophy for how to sell bikes now that we are at or near peak geometry. For brands like spesh and santa cruz it seems to be integration but for others like Rocky, Norco, and to a lesser extent Trek, it seems to be "optimizing" (or at least trying to create headlines) with new or...

8/21/2024 5:46pm I know im a day late and this thead moves fast, but i was at an extremely busy shop that sold a brand that used this same combo of battery and motor. We sent literally dozens of complete bikes back let alone individual components because these were utterly dogshit. I pray thats been sorted for Kona a couple years later...

New Bronson: - Somehow poking an extra hole in the frame isn't suddenly too hard/costly! "Premium" wireless only for the top end frame only where it belongs. - Solid build kit with OneUp bars/dropper and DT 370 hubs you'd actually want. - Lifetime warranty wheels on all builds (even alloys have the lifetime warranty and I've had friends successfully warranty bent ones) + solid SC frame/bearing warranty - $5K entry level build. No price increases from what I can see? (CC frame still $3,900) If that study Trek did that showed that SC blows everyone out of the water above...

ah i see you speak marketing, sounds alot like a soft tail. I'm gonna guess its something like that specialized gravel bike with the little wire top tube connector.

Maybe they want to move to a design that is less prone to downtube failures. Delta link has a bad reputation in this regard, no idea how many fail as a percentage of overall production, but I've seen a few.

Another hot take (in light of rumors the new Hightower will also move towards 160/160 mm travel): keep bike model names in the same category, do not move them around. One of the main offenders of this is Trek who moved the Fuel EX from what was a downcountry bike before downcountry existed (120/120) to almost enduro levels (150/140 with the Gen6). It can kind of be explained by people wanting to buy the same bike over the years when they progress, so start off with less travel and move to more travel and just throw them the same model...

8/14/2024 3:58pm I think they'll sell both side by side and to differentiate it the bigger bike will have more travel front too, not sure if that means 170 or 180. Will be interesting to see what rear wheel sizes come stock across the board, SKU bloat will be real with multiple travel and multiple wheel size options in a single platform.

8/14/2024 2:10pm Let's get some gosh darn new rumours going. Norco to sell long shocked sights from the factory as the new enduro race bike.

Maybe someone could make a thread specifically for tech rumors so we don't derail this suspension kinematic thread?

This is one of the best threads in the MTB world. Awesome tech rumors and new products, but even better are the discussions that follow. People have questions about MTB products. It takes time to sort it out. We’re all still learning, always learning! And the discussions about new products and rumored products are kinda central to our progression. Maybe the discussion gets too granular for some, but in my short time here I have seen what others have mentioned, a natural ebb and flow of topics governed by the actual posting of rumors or releases. I think that if...
