All

I am not seeing how the last 4 pages of this thread have anything to do with rumors or innovation.

Check the number on the back of yours. Different kits for rev 0-3, 4, and 5. 05 and 04 kits are out of stock everywhere but SRAM will have 05 kits next month. I didn't ask about 04 or before but someone else who did told me they got offered a discount on a new one since new kits weren't planned, I would definitely verify this before getting too bummed out though

Madrone with a DH set up is rad!

I love that it's Neko Mulally doing this. Nobody else would get out alive.

Remember folks we don't have to stand for this. We can report this inappropriate content. 😆

my 2 cents after spending some time on the bike is that I really want to spend more time on the bike. A couple anecdotes here: I was surprised at how well it pedalled and the lack of heft that I was expecting after looking at it. After giving it back for a month I had to film on it with no time to get familiar again. First trail was a rapid North Van classic that I have ridden a bunch and I was immediately sending it. It was extremely poppy while still being planted, able to pull for all...

I can confirm that new saint is 8spd not 7spd (because Shimano) and that it will not be launched this till next summer. It has a clutch too, and rumoured to have a "enduro" version for 12spd cassettes for riders who want silence not pedaling effciency The 2.2mm rotors everyone is running in Korea, should have been launched with all the new brakes last season and make a huge difference to the lever feel

I've been to Primoz' neck of the woods and would like to add that: You should absolutely go to that neck of the woods to ride if you get a chance. Primoz raced cross country for years before switching to longer travel bikes, and was fitter than me when we rode together. He's a great host and I cannot recommend Bled Cream Cake enough. However, I would not recommend eating it right before a 87 F/31 C mountain bike ride with Primoz. Primoz, I'm still right about heavier tire casings and softer compound. Fight me. Most power-based training plans emphasize...

If you're not from the US and you haven't seen this yet, I can't recommend it enough. It explains a lot:

The use of analog to describe mountain bikes is ironic AF

It's probably less about the extra forces a dual-crown puts on the frame these days, I think you're right about that. The one important issue to keep in mind though is that the stanchions will bump against the head tube junction area, and if the frame is not built to take the resulting direct force in that particular area you could easily cause an issue in a crash.

I'm thinking it'll be more like this:

It would be entertaining if Arc' making bike gear was in retaliation for 7Mesh making non-bike stuff...

Arc'teryx has entered the mtb space, because you know, there just aren't enough premium brands trying to sell $350 riding pants and $500 jackets. lol (For real, though, even though all of my Arc stuff is the best fitting stuff I have, 0/10 would not pay those prices for it. The only riding pants I'm willing to spend full price on is NF. 10/10 worth it)
