I own those Roval Traverse HD and they are actually very good! The ride quality compares to Crank Brothers Synthesis carbon wheels with different front and rear carbon layup. People usually scoff at house brand wheels but I have been very happy with the 3 sets of Rovals I have for the different bikes. DT hubs, DT spokes, good rim layup and solid warranty to back it all up. In fact I had a set of the much hyped WeAreOne Union which felt like wooden planks in comparison.

I read this twice and I still have no idea what you intended to say other than jaded garbage. You definitely have truly lackluster diction.

I completely agree with this. I had the Stumpjumper Evo for 4 seasons, which allowed me to retire my hip pack since then. Had a tube jammed down near the BB, in the SWAT bag: Lezyne pump, plugs, tire lever/chain breaker combo, water treatment tablets, and a pack of emergency Haribo. Still had room to stuff a rain jacket if I needed to. Multitool is attached to the bottle cage. Fast forward to this summer, tested multiple bikes without in-frame storage and I couldn't wrap my head around it. Bought a Megatower and have it set up the same way...

Anecdotes are not data and it sounds like I'm in the minority but I got mine in April of '23 and installed it and set it up myself. I've put 2,500 miles and almost 750k' of descending on it and and haven't touched it since then other than to check torque after the first few rides. I swapped the chain out for an XX chain at about 2k miles. It's been flawless and I have beaten the ever-loving crap out of it, the skid plates on the mech are a little ragged-looking but that's just cosmetic. (In case it's relevant...

Unpopular opinion but transmission is a clear/undeniable benefit over any existing cable stuff

The lack of cable ports on future carbon frames is bumming me out. Wireless-only sucks for people who like to optimize for on-trail performance. I prefer carbon frames due to better alignment, fatigue life, and saving 2 lbs without decrease in durability, so going to alum isn't the right compromise. Our cohort has always prioritized spending $$ on top tier suspension, brakes, and wheels, while almost universally selecting "good enough" drivetrain at the XT/GX level. I realize that showroom shopping squids prefer fancy looking gadgets to performance. This sucks and bums me out. I'm counting on the mid-sized brands to...

I have no idea if they are guessing right on the wireless thing or not. I've owned a lot of SC and the build quality, common sense (until recent times), and support for home mechanics has been awesome. If you buy frame only and keep it for a long time, value is there. But I really hope they're f'ing up along the Specialized and bunch of the other big players. Large companies come and go, even though it may seem the opposite. Often they get overconfident and out of touch, and as a result make poor strategic decisions. I don't...
