Yeah, those are all locations that definitely should not pivot.

I'm not keeping a spreadsheet or anything but I think I've seen about 4 or 5 now.

Now that's a proper spy shot.

Not sure if this has been posted but got a picture of the bottom of the Brosnan's Boxxer at the US Open. I assume this is what's on the Zebb too.

On a total side note, and at the risk of derailing things for a few pages to discuss the engineering justification, Ari’s seatstays are the most offensive aesthetic things in mtb. Can’t change my mind.

Should we make a Derailleur Tech Rumors derailment?

Disagree. I do less maintenance on my electronic stuff than I ever did on mechanical. The stuff that does get maintained is present in both flavors (i.e. jockey wheel bearings). The time I spend annually removing batteries to put them on chargers & replacing them is measured in single digit minutes. I'm not saying that everyone SHOULD go wireless, I'm just saying the anti-battery crowd makes wireless systems out to be some overly complex thing when in reality they're not.

Coil forks are great until you find their limit, and then they are really not great.

The 13-14 year age difference aside, the really problematic part for me is the fact that he was/is still her boss, and that relationship began when she was a teenager. If he was her teacher or coach at school and they started dating shortly after she graduated people would be up in arms. How is this any different?

Adam Brayton trolling Bernie is one of the greatest internet gags of all time. My personal favorite was the 'public bike park' series feat Roidy 🤣

I think his comments about hardline TAS being unfair really were the nail in the coffin for a lot of people
