Matt Beer can ride a bike but he has said some bafflingly wrong shit in the past when talking about how bikes work. He's not a great resource for technical stuff IMO. edit: and if you disagree then go and read his "article" about fork offset and compare it to how steering geometry actually works. It's confused and mostly backwards.

You mess up in seeding you start where you start. Own it. You are going to have to deal with slower riders on course. Better luck next year. Does matter if you are AG or some never was has been local. Life ain't always stacked in favour.

Probably around the same time you start being civil...

If two people can comfortable hit it and it comes with a huge time advantage it gets to the point that the entire field has to take massive risks to be competitive. The Jr's are just that, Jr's. They are not professionals and outside of a very select few I bet most are not getting a paycheck. Closing one feature will have zero effect on the racing for the weekend...... Having to chopper a rider or two off the course during practice will have a big effect on everyones race weekend.

You are so lost in the sauce. Like 4 different people gave great explanations of how flex stays work and you dismissed every single one, but want a "data driven discussion" when you can't comprehend a literal Microsoft paint diagram. Now you don't like "buzzy undamped coil spring", this is comedy gold. @CascadeComponents Can i formally apologize for this member of the forum and please say come back to discuss things with us Vital users that don't have a crayon missing from the box.

Flex stay can't rebound undamped. It doesn't move without the shock moving.

Until they get the rotor arms orientation right they cannot be expecting to be taken seriously. And red paint? Seriously? What is this fast and furious vol.I? Oh, grimeca wants to have a word with you about that too lol. Gosh I'm so negative.

Adding to this, the heavy duty with lightning have a bigger friction area compared to the normal 2.3 thick one piece, somehow every place that sells Hope as a picture for the one piece have the heavy duty with the lightning, which makes it confusing as it’s not what you’ll get. You can custom order those and it take ages to get them, also they’re quite heavy a 2.3mm one piece sits at 222gr for a 203 rotor, the Hd ones are over 250gr for the 203

I don't get it, people usually want to see shimano content.

What really matters is that I believe it's aligned. As long as I think it is, it's good enough.

Sorry, super frustrating experience. I’m not looking to vent about it, just curious about specific aspects of suspension performance. On the theme of learning, where else would you measure sag? At the wheel? How would this change things?
