$25,000 purple anodised everything ASR

This is the level of nerd stuff I'm here for.

I also heard June, but June 2024.

I thought you were right so I built one! dropperchecker.com Doesn't solve the missing frame insertion info. But still makes it a bit easier to make a call.

I hear you, but being 6 foot I’ve had to sell every dropper post on all my size large bikes because they’re far too short. I argue, and this isn't to say I don’t understand where you’re coming from, there is a larger subset of the large bike population that could use a longer dropper. There have been some strong opinion pieces on the other site to sell stock bikes with non crap brakes, tires, and longer droppers. Although this wouldn’t be necessary or appropriate for all for everyone, I still support the idea that bikes should be stocked with...

I can totally envision OneUp's April 1st advert for their new wireless dropper. 'Tired of losing all of that stack height with the other guys' wireless droppers? We at OneUp have the ideal solution... commercial pans to a rider inserting a battery in his anus and looking very uncomfortable, then giving a thumbs up. Then they show a wire going down to the dropper from his riding pants. We have packaged the battery in a simple and environmentally green manner that improves stack height, and also prevents theft! And for the ladies you can now bring a spare battery, 2...

But can you stand on it?

Haha OK. Yes 29er design peaked with the 2014 Enduro. I encourage you to double down on your statement, seek one out and replace all your other bikes with it.

There you go, entry level beepboops on a $9k CAD bike, spectacular

32" is clearly too large. 29", on the other hand, might not be large enough. So obviously the future is going to be 30.5" wheels.

You joke, but mfers talking bout this...

Bike brands: You don't need to tool and produce 27.5" lowers anymore, the market wants mullet and full 29" bikes. Fork makers: Phew, what a relief. Between wheelsize, offset, and axle sizes, it's a lot of parts to manage. Bike brands: What have you got in the works for 32"? Fork makers: Excuse me?

woosh

But one of them doesn’t strip paint, ruin rubber durometer, or make certain plastics brittle.

That thing looks 7, maybe 8 months along? Wonder if the baby shower happened yet.

maybe they overpurchased during covid and have a massive OEM stockpile of superboost hubs

At this point I'm just kind of in awe at their steadfast support of Super Boost...

Whole lotta talk about crab bikes without naming the bikes by their one true name…

Not sure on the proper terminology but… my ‘21 Enduro didn’t feel as good on the brakes on harsh terrain as my old ‘17 Giant Reign SX did. The Reign was more actively following the ground leading to more traction and higher corner entry speed.

This is off topic but I went to high school with Nick and his wife! It's been so cool watching what they are doing now. They have come so far from mobbing nearly stock Rangers in Ocotillo! 😅
