I happen to ride an XL. We thoroughly acknowledge the logic behind size specific chainstays, although we are a business, and like any, we need to make cost/benefit decisions. For a bike to "feel" exactly the same throughout an entire size range, every dimension needs to be scaled accordingly. That includes it's components - most notably, wheel size (axle height). We hear the argument for size specific chainstays, although from business & physics perspectives, it is a much more complicated subject than most care to acknowledge. At the end of the day, this bike in an XL kicks ass. Come...

"or fell outside respectable social norms..." Would love to see that whiteboard.

If anyone wants to invest a few hundred grand with no guaranteed return, anything is possible.

This is something that is very useful to know and I appreciate the companies that make it easy to access. A lot of people want to either upgrade the shock or bring over a high end damper they already own. So this makes it much easier to get that person set up properly if the bike company hasn't already supplied detailed settings and spring rates for that shock

Look, it seems to me that Luckey's primary motivation for this kind of wild speculation is to drive business to his ghoulish defense contracting company. I do agree with you that geopolitical expertise is often the domain of people with shaky track records, but also posit that any intelligence sources he's "privy" to might not be of the highest quality considering that his sources are probably a cadre of right-wing media grifters turned agency administrators in leadership roles at US intelligence and defense agencies that already have their own reliability issues. I actually do consume a lot of information from...

Fortunately there are more reliable sources for geopolitical news than a steroid-addled former comedian and a mediocre electrical engineer

and this, kids, is why we can’t have nice things (the fucking reality!!!!) anymore

Why would you post an AI-altered image here in the first place?

are brakes translucent? what's up with the ex471 logos? why is the seatpost collar that high? where are the cranks? does one of the cables/brake lines go to the fork? what makes such a large shadow on the non-drive side? So many questions, and I hope the answer isnt the obvaious one ...

Great review by the way, I've been enjoying a lot of the recent reviews on here, especially with the follow up discussions that add more detail and long term impression of the product in the real world! It feels much more useful for the end user, or someone like me who is selling product but doesn't get to spend a lot of time on every single new thing that gets launched
