They're also the house brand of a powerhouse bike manufacturer. I think they'll be fine. P.S., It's kinda funny how the tech rumors thread - something you think would be very niche - has somehow turned into Vital's general thread

6/25/2023 12:30pm Im not convinced Marin is, I've seen them ramp up and they are working on a few bikes at the moment. Their bikes seem to of come in small batches and all sold out.

At least as consolation the really tall guys always have chicks asking them how tall they are

Yup, at 6ft I feel sized out of many large frames. I went from a Spec Enduro to an Evo, a big part of it was ~15mm less reach on the Evo (both S4). It's also lighter and the adjustability is nice. I'm glad to see reaches getting a bit shorter.

6/22/2023 6:02pm Fair, Im only really looking out for myself here, at 6ft im only just above the average height aswell so most bikes are within my range but the larges were getting a bit to long. I feel for the really tall guys who may get their reach number OK but then brands screw you on the stack, Some brands cant...

6/22/2023 5:55pm Correct, The AM29 & TR have very large reach numbers with "meh stack" aswell. Commencal came back slightly with the SX and now back even further, with 475 in low for the large. Giant have also done the same with their reign and pulled the reach numbers back.

6/22/2023 11:21am sorry, not trying to be a dick about it - Wheel size is a different kind of subject though- although i could argue reach is settling right in that "mullet zone" lol

6/22/2023 11:05am Meta v5... finally we are seeing the end of "go longer reach" Some damn good rider at crankworx said to me: "long reach is a selling point for riders who are learning, such as kids, once you know how to go straight its time to go downhill " - he went on to talk about how its common to see...

I’m assuming he’s figuring his calipers are more powerful simply based off the fact Magura’s are temperamental, fragile, plastic landfill fodder.

Both are more powerful than MT5s and you can still use whatever pads you want. If you want best bang for your buck brakes got to go Hayes.

6/21/2023 2:56am Getting your leg extended, bike fits are generally not good for the knees, especially if you have knee issues before hand. Lots of Ex roadies around here end up with knee problems due to bike fits due to not enough knee extension. MTB fits are much different to normal bike fits as the position is way more dynamic and it...

6/18/2023 5:09pm haha, id like an electric version thats just a small rocker - ive never been a fan of modern shifter design. Wonder if i could 3d print a mount to reverse the AXS one with a custom rocker... Time to get to work haha

6/18/2023 4:09pm Id quite like a shifter that i can shift with my Index finger only. we can already do it one way but why not both? id happily pay big money that that - i hate having to move my thumb and put unnatural pressure on my thumb joint.

6/11/2023 3:55pm format was considerably better. video coverage was better, audio coverage was terrible - they are so out of touch with what a commentator needs to know
