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?

Appears to be some sort of belted purse.

The thing is, not failing is pretty low goal to strive for isn't it? Because there is absolutely no performance benefit in this orientation whatsoever. Only benefit is free advertising from us talking about most likely soon to be released brake.

I agree it's worth giving them the benefit of the doubt at this stage, if the rotors are thick it's probably fine. I can definitely think of plenty of examples where companies from other industries have tried to bring their wisdom to bikes and failed miserably. Bikes can sometimes need a unique solution, that isn't the norm elsewhere.

Personally I think there are plenty of storylines and content for a boots on the ground live audio only or desk show punctuated with clips/media/info from roving reporters. Just need to see what Bex Barona managed by herself on Instagram this past wee end to believe it could work. Honestly if you got the right host/hosts I would just listen/watch them chatting shit about the live timing results rather than refreshing the stupid page myself.

So stoked to see a proper enduro race and good coverage of it! Warning, mini essay on the state of Enduro ahead! I know the that downhill is more spectacular, and it’s certainly easier to cover, but there is something about proper enduro that really draws me in. One aspect is definitely that it’s more relatable — it’s the kind of riding and racing that I do. I can easily imagine just how fried they feel after 4 big days, or a after completing a long taxing stage where you’re just hanging on. But even moreso, it’s the narrative of...

Yeah true. At least Actofive appears to have a good understanding of engineering fundamentals. I like that brand, even if I can't afford their products.

or maybe he just likes the low-key vibes of working with neko and has a good support system where he is. playing the long game of success, comfort, familiarity and fun vs short game of some cash but with a team that may not culturally gel or a bike that doesn't work for him right away.

And on rotors installed wrong way around.

Only thing I would be concerned about here (aside from voiding your warranty) is inadvertently pushing the primary seal on the MC piston past the timing port holes, making the system a closed brake. Time will tell. If you start to lose a brake due to starving the system of fluid or start to have the brake locking up/bite point firming up erratically will tell you that is the case.
