Man I hope that the new enduro sells super well, I couldn't care less about specialized but if a non ebike in that travel range sells well it should wake the industry up that there is actually demand for those bikes.

When the Fox flats are new, they are pretty close in terms of grip, but the rubber seems to lose its stickiness over time, which the 2FO does not. The Fox flat shoe is somewhere between the 2FO Roost and the 2FO DH in terms of stiffness and feel.

Stop using AI for frivolous shit.

BigLinkage in here trying to sell their leverage rate conspiracies.

And just like that, I've just learned that being able to switch between 30T and 32T charrings without having to faff with chain length is also one of the many benefits of the Jab over Transmission. Looking at where the drivetrains of SRAM and Shimano have been going lately, Madrone's timing could not have been any better.

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 need a high pivot CVT. What should my chainstay length be?

Sounds more like SRAM's approach to product releases.

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

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.

No ageism in here! I'm 40, and the bike I ride most is my Singlespeed. So I, in fact, do stand while climbing, a lot.

The reason flight attendant has a huge uptake in XC is because SRAM sponsored teams are required to run it. I know four different world cup athletes and they have all said they would just prefer a manual lockout. When it works properly it's alright but it's heavy and frequently has connectivity problems between all the components. It seems more casual users like it with one less thing to think about while riding and the weight doesn't matter to a more casual rider. As for trail/enduro bikes, ever wonder why every single SRAM EWS athlete stopped riding LYRIK and started...

they should use actual moto parts... because they are fucking eMotos. I hate those fucking bikes.

And most of the time they were standing mostly on the axle anyway. It never seemed that impressive. But a good bit they managed to get all these reviewers do for no real reason.
