...aaaand they're sold out

New Intend brakes:

kill me please

Now this is interesting. What do we make of this? They just rolled out the (super underwhelming) Stealth lineup, so these are what? Either a year plus out from release, or they're slotting in a DH-oriented brake more powerful than Codes. Also, anyone know anything about the dropper situation? I thought we'd see a Reverb AXS update, or at least introduction of a 200mm (I've heard it's showing up on dealer B2B sites) this week. I guess since that's a RockShox product and the launch this week was SRAM focused, it makes sense not to have included it. But folks...

Honestly, just check out his post in the Tech Rumors thread. he straight up talks about it. plus his downtime podcast:

It happened to me once, my AXS battery empty right after a long DH section, and I need to do a 3.5 miles slight incline climb out. Not a long climb, but it would have been painful since bike was in high gear. Luckily, it was a weekend. So I decided to just sit down and wait... sure enough, 3 mins later, a small pack came up, and I spotted 1 rider had AXS. I kindly asked for favor to borrow his battery to make a few gear shift. Made it back to the car in lower gear 😊.

it`s a way to sell more wireless stuff like axs and flight attendant.

GODDAM this is annoying. The whole point is that thanks to the rear mech mounting to the axle a hanger is NO LONGER NEEDED. The frames still use a UDH mount and tolerances that have been in use for years now. How many UDH frames have you seen where the axle doesn't thread in due to mis alignment? how many frames have wheels off centre due to bad UDH tolerances? The square root of F'All. Most misalignment comes from poorly produced.....................hangers. If the mech is out of alignment with this system, there is a whole lot of F'wittery going on...

I know, but I dont need the ferrari, fine with the civic.

So like, a Stumpjumper?

Hunting Holly. I love Schwalbe but their names are shit. Those cranks don't seem to be online anywhere either.

But if they do that they can't sell you a whole new bike...

Good photo of the new shock from trek factory racings page

All that tech to beat Neko by less than a second on his home grown bike :D
