8/21/2024 10:09am are the downvotes based on? cause i'm talking facts here, oh let's remember the 28gr for a udh, so at the axle, Gx vs GX t-type you have ( cassette + deralieur ) 738gr vs 936gr, so 200gr of extra unsprung weight, on a total of 219gr more for t- type, now on XO is 370gr, so the huge (100gr) weight saving on the frame are not only gone but gone right at your rear axle, nice

8/21/2024 12:20am I watched the loam wolf review of the bronson. They had a guy from santa cruz there. He said a big part of them ditching the internal routing was to save some weight and set the cc frame apart from the c. I think he said it saved around 300g

8/20/2024 9:36pm Was just reading Escape Collective's article about security researchers hacking a Shimano Di2 drivetrain (tl;dr it's possible but highly unlikely in any real-world scenario) and this quote about wireless drivetrains jumped out at me: "Wireless shifting has also made aspects like installation simple and easy to do. In fact, that’s the primary reason we have it, said Wakeham. He pointed out that riders aren’t the main customer for big component brands like SRAM and, especially, Shimano; bike brands like Specialized and Trek are. For the rider, 'wireless isn’t innovation for the user except in aesthetics,' he said, because shifting is...

8/20/2024 9:35pm Definitely sounds possible. Looking at specialized and santa cruz doing away with cable routing for a derailleur on some bikes leads to not only less assemble time and cost but less manufacturing cost by cutting out tube in tube routing. Makes the frame a bit cheaper to make but the bikes arnt any cheaper. Probably increases profit margin a little...

8/20/2024 4:55pm Or it could be the stout version of the Bronson. There is also one for the Heckler SL with Fox 38 and X2 instead of 36 and float X.

8/19/2024 2:29pm Regarding the SC Bronson/Hightower picture posted, both the dark red and pink have 36 fork which would confirm they are indeed Bronson and Hightower and not Mega/Nomad. 100% sure older Hightower couldn't fit a X2 and Bronson was able to fit a coil but not high volume air shock like X2 or Vivid. The new big window above the BB is most likely to give access to air valve at the middle of the shock and easier access to rebound on most coil shock (rotate 180deg the lower eyelet to have access from the bottom for the rebound dial). The...

8/19/2024 2:06pm One on the left looks like it might be mullet. X2 and a 38 so that might be the new nomad. Pretty early to see a pic of it if it wont release for a year

8/19/2024 12:40pm The rumour was a mx/29 (bronson/hightower) platform but there doesn't look like there are any flip chips (apart from the usual very minimal one at the shock).

8/19/2024 12:40pm Maybe it will be a separate mullet link you have to buy instead of just a flip chip?

Outside of biking i wear barefoot shoes and im struggling to find new clip and flat shoes that feel good. So far...
