Shop guys pretty regularly see just about any frame on earth broken, and it really doesn't often turn any of us off a brand. The forces bikes see are both pretty dynamic and pretty crazy at times, especially considering how much we expect this premium stuff to weigh. Seeing a broken V-10 doesn't make me want to avoid them, it makes me curious how fuckin' hard the rider was going. The general public does not always understand that stuff does just break. We get people in daily who tell us we couldn't pay them to ride carbon, then we grab...

With VPP.

Got an email this morning about these New Wolftooth hubs. FINALLY someone is making an expensive hub in anodized colors.

Pivot about to drop a road bike…. Probably has short stays and even shorter reach. )sarcasm(

There are like 3 completely idiotic conversations happening at once here.

More than 10% chance that them AI brakes are capable of wiping the human race out.

Guys, hear me out, Singlespeed…

I guess my experience with the new DI2 is unique, but I’ve been running the XTR version since the launch last year. It’s on my V2 Druid and Yeti MTe. Both bikes are quiet as a church mouse. Multiple weeks at bike parks, local Enduro races and weekly rips on my local trails. No noticeable chain slap from the rear mech. 🤷‍♂️

That's the experience that everyone my shop has set up on new di2 has had as well, and these are some of the most noise sensitive people I've ever worked with.

Blasting up fireroads at 20mph is SO sick. So rad.

I cannot, which could tell you something.

I did not expect an XL Yeti to come with 465mm chainstays in the short setting.

What if we tried putting a small derailleur on the front cogs, may be just like 2-3 gears, then a 5-7 speed cassette on the rear with another smaller derailleur? Same ratios but better weight distribution?

I tried everyone. ZSCS ruined it in less than 1 hour. Back to your shit regularly schedule programing,

I think it’s important to remember in the tech rumors forum that we all have dope bikes, tailored specifically for where we ride, and that it’s never the same everywhere for everyone and that minion DHF is still the best tire ever always

I typically use the climb switch once per ride. I like to turn it on halfway up the climb when I remember I have it and might as well use it. I tend to turn it off halfway down the descent when I’m puzzling over why my suspension isn’t working. I suspect I am not in the minority.

Wait… does no one ever standup when climbing their bikes? Maybe thats why I like lockout so much.

30+ years ago bullet bros was trying to solve the same problems.

Some sort of UDH +15mm chainstay standard would fix a lot of XXL bikes.
