This is not a tech rumor so I’m not going to talk about this again. What I will say is we haven’t seen a single case of frame damage due to regular use. Frames are pretty overbuilt. Your wheels are more likely to blow up first. Ask me how I know. Off the top of my head, I can only remember two instances where serious frame damage occurred. One was improper installation and one was incompatible shock. We actually paid for the crash replacement frame for the incompatible shock case because there was a typo on our website that was...

12/29/2023 6:35pm You know, this makes me curious. Obviously frame design innovation (geo and suspension designs) is slowing down dramatically in the industry. I wonder if the next big thing will be allowing for frames to have features that make a bronson come with bumpers or have additional features like working with companies to produce after market links (I think about Cascade...

12/29/2023 7:50am Thats sick but I want that fork. To be honest if it worked at 160mm Id take it just for the advantage of having a perfectly aligned stem. I know, first world mtb problems.

12/16/2023 5:38am Okay Ill admit. Thats pretty neat. No one has mentioned this but I find that the Gemini Polluck bars to be very clean. Apparently their newer model of this bar (not pictured) can allow for a rider to not have to cut their steer tube super short like traditionally.

12/12/2023 6:19pm I assume it was aluminum? Probably had enough room for a bottle? 29 or Mx?

12/9/2023 1:05pm Yeah this has me curious too. To be honest I see people post about these semi legit Chinese components and wonder where the hell people find this stuff. Haha

12/9/2023 6:09am No no. It was just that we had discussed it already and it was just people claiming one set of brakes was the same/different as another over pictures. It seemed argumentative by some parties than a genuine discussion. Thats all.

12/8/2023 6:53am May I request to snuff this fire? We have already discussed this and quite frankly, its almost as bad as some of the ebike motor comparison debates. Hate to be that guy but…

12/4/2023 7:29am Not entirely. One biiiig thing I see is being able to program your lever stroke. I hate shimano brakes due to 99% of the stroke feeling dead then that last 1% is like full lock up it seems. Im not someone who can utilize this. I like to feel a good curve of power. Afterall a good brake should not...

What took the longest in the process of getting the frame like this? Could any of it have been circumvented with power tools? I want to get a status frame. Stock paint just looks awful, so I was considering doing this. But “my hands will never forgive me” is quite the statement haha.

11/19/2023 9:25am The links appear to be new. I dont know what the bar is technically called but it has a more aggressive bend in it than the painted one.

So lessee: 4-piston, top-loading, moto/Hope style levers, Shimano/cup bleed, 2-piece caliper, 1-piece clamp, looks like reach (and maybe bite-point) adjustment (tool required), what else am I missing?

11/15/2023 6:56am Yeah I just fixed that… I need more coffee too I guess. 🤷♂️

11/15/2023 6:55am It has a pretty “G” on the side of the caliper. At least 10 braking* horsepower added in with that. Its impressive really
