No you’re not. Robot overlord transmission with RS Select fork and shock smells like the DeoreXT-derailleur-with-StxRC-shifter that I was warned against in 1996. For the same money, give me cable shifting and a nicer damper.

Hurray, the return of 17 Questions! Something I really like about Mr. Hart is the way he hides an amazing personality behind the lazy Northern drawl. I’ll never forget the post-race interview he gave after his Snowshoe win in ‘19, one of the best ever.

I heard its best to run the Fox 38s and Zebs with full dampening. Also important to add an s to the end of every forks name too (cause why not). Find me at your local blue flow trail this weekend blasting Nickelback from my bluetooth speaker.

Something that also doesn't translate well across the Atlantic is our use of highly offensive words as terms of endearment: in Scotland, if you think highly of someone, it is more than acceptable to describe them as a "good c**t". Unlike a bike company executive who signed off on headset cable routing, who may instead be referred to as a "bit of a c**t". Context is everything.

They're back to normal price I got # few pair from there in 29x 2.6/2.3 and 27.5x2.6 2.8 were sold out even prior to the winter sales. They work and wear really well Panaracer swoop AT are also great if one has a mullet that uses a 26er wheel

Why would that be awkward? That's exactly what many of us are saying these guys should be doing. No one's saying it's an easy path. Lots of riders and privateers have to juggle their work life with their riding life. They have to use vacation time to travel for races and comps. Lots of guys have to figure out sick time, short term disability, etc, if they get injured (I think of someone like Steve Vanderhoek, who's a firefighter, but had to take some time off after a nasty crash at Tour De Gnar. Luckily a job like firefighting has...

I've had a lot of debates on this. I've always preferred bikes with shorter rear ends as I think they are more rewarding to ride and flick into corners. My bike friend who runs an unnamed bike company completely disagrees and thinks longer back ends are better as they give a more balanced weight distribution. I think the weight distribution thing is nonsense, I think every rider rides in a dynamic centre of gravity and their body position will adjust to suit this and spread the weight effectively. One thing I observe is when bikes have too long a reach...

Primoz has pretty much hit the nail on the head here. The radial/axial load ratings of bearings quoted by the manufacturers are based on continuous 24hr operation over a lifetime, even the static load rating. Generally in rotating machinery design, the output for a calculation is the expected lifetime of a bearing based on operating loads and conditions - depending on the application it's always nice when the output comes out as "inifinte"...however, in my experience (designing heavy duty winch drums and selecting gearboxes for them) bearing failure seems to be much more to do with how they're mounted than...

What a depressing set of comments today. Biking is a hobby, people can enjoy it as they wish. Get over yourselves and let people be happy. Complaints about other peoples opinions are not tech rumors.

reach changes about 20 to 25mm between sizes. If you truly are sensitive to it by feel, that might be annoying if it puts you right between sizes. Choose another brand if thats the case but for every person that puts off, its brought another rider in. also remember reach is measured to the top of the head tube. a 120 head tube plus 30mm stem spacers vs a 150 head tube with slammed stem is going to, with everything else on the geo chart and every other component being equal, be ~10mm shorter and otherwise identical.

Robert from The Loam Wolf here. I was the one who broke the Scalpel, and I’m not surprised I did - overshot the landing of a large jump for an XC bike, landing in the pocket between the landing and the flat ground after it. Huge bottom out. I corrected Kaz at Pinkbike’s quote - he had flatteringly guessed me to be 190lbs, whereas I am 220lbs. Nothing fishy. I wholeheartedly believe the Scalpel is fit for purpose and that it was my fault! Was having far too much fun and got carried away.
