A certain newly active member should be along to shit all over this with a quickness

I would bet my whole fleet of bikes on it still being plastic bullshit that will break when a pixie farts 2 miles away. I think the only person more stubborn than the twinloc guy at Scott is the "maguras must be plastic bullshit" guy.

Hey man, you are derailing the fuck out of this thread. This thread is for "tech rumors and innovation". If you want to have pointless pedantic arguments with people, make your own thread for that.

Carbon design and warranty issues and Bickering About it. Now back to Tech Rumors!

Very few engineers use the products they actually design and/or manufacture. Guess I’m supposed to throw a F1 reference in there?

Can we just cut to the chase and pre-emptively ban Dougal? I thought this place was the last safe haven from his bullshit. The schtick of poo-pooing everything on the planet is old as dirt and he ruins every conversation he butts in on. Doogs, you spend an awful lot of time on forums for someone who claims to be so busy. Go farm downvotes somewhere else.

This thread used to be good.

How many composites engineers do you think are there in the whole industry? And how many stress analysists? FWIW, from what I've heard (obviously could be wrong or could be old info) apparently Yeti's process was quite similar. Engineering firm doing the suspension (Switch link was done by Sotto Design Group for example, not sure what the situation is like for Switch Infinity or Sixfinity) and an industrial design firm doing the surface modelling of the frame (the 'looks') and an overseas firm doing molds, carbon layup based on their experience, testing, if it breaks, strengthen the breaking point, once...

maybe its time for a separate thread for 2032 Olympic event rumors?

SRAM owes me royalties. I called it in June of last year.

Commencal quietly dropped the Tempo "V2" with the only revision being they got rid of the headset cable routing. (praise be!)

Or lightweight dual crown forks with clip ons! Now that would be wild

As the first glimmer of the 32” era dawns, the Industry’s evil plan for 27.5 comes to light: the leftover 27.5 rims are to be stamped and converted into 120t rear sprockets for the new dominant Big Wheelers.

Yeah, it's been hard to get used to seeing negative rise stems on xc bikes. It's only been over a decade...

Comment from another site: "I wonder if the real reason that Sinyard's back is that he's not getting enough law suit action to feel good about himself."

I don’t know where else I can be an opiated a-hole... Well that might explain a few things 😏

No one says you can't share you opinions, but I am highly encouraging you to take this amazing opportunity to spearhead your own topic on this amazing form. You can gather all the haters and have a massive long discussion about your preferences in clutch tension in a cohesive form instead of interrupting a thread dedicated to the discussion of new tech. It's not that you shouldn't be spouting your thoughts on vital, it just gets tiring when someone wades into a discussion of new tech decides to complain about new tech. Not to mention the fact that this SRAM...
