Any things you needed to do to make the Transmission work? I have a 2018 Sentinel that I would try that on.

Yes, definitely do it! I had to do two major things: 1) buy a udh compatible thru axle from Transition; 2) remove the red bushing portion of the insert for Transmission, just keeping the black spacer/washer. The dropout is too small for the red bushing, but the width of the dropout is correct. I added a photo to show what I mean. Pay close attention to alignment as you put it all together, but if you torque to spec, it’s never moving. It’s important to follow the normal installation steps from SRAM in order to help get alignment correct. I’ve...

Everyone knows the only way to get your bars and levers juuuust right is to adjust them with a rusty multi-tool in the trailhead parking lot while your buddies are waiting on you to start the ride. The more exasperated your friends are, the more precise the alignment.

They'd better be able to pack good value into the builds, they paid for 4/5ths of the tooling and all the R&D years ago. This bike has been available since Fall 2019, yes, it remains excellent, no, consumers should not be paying a premium for it. Edit: the fact that the value of the Comp is actually pretty good is indeed surprising.

You mean you can't just have your marketing dept say it's "plush when you need it to" but "stiff for the roughest lines" ?

That has come up before, I think in an interview with Atherton? He looks at additional proprietary measure(s) that he developed and not just AS/AR/LR when he designs the system. But the brands won't say what they are. My immediate thought was that if there's this extra property that you think is beneficial to the owner, but you're not allowed to tell the owner what it is beyond some extremely vague implications about its existence, why should the prospective owner be remotely interested?

You can get really really damn close to any AS, AR*, and LR from any other platform with a linkage driven single pivot. Packaging and aesthetic would have to take a back seat but you would be surprised that all mini link/ dual link bikes can be duplicated in a linkage driven single pivot. * low AR is the one that can't get without a floating brake.

But how do I know if the complete package from DW Link is better than the complete package from Delta Link? Or perhaps the Orion complete package? Maybe even Devinci's complete package, the split pivot? Or whatever the complete package Pivot's downhill bike is called? They obviously all work but I'm left somewhat skeptical of claims made about various suspension designs (all made by DW) when the entirety of DW's business model appears to be create a suspension design, find a buyer, and move on to the next suspension design and buyer. Is one of the above systems superior to...
