I always defer to this DC Rainmaker site. He has the some of the best info I have found regarding sports watches and comparing features.

yes but there are strict rules regarding the dimensions of the pot, and the butter is subject to WADA testing

Do they allow for pots of boiling water and melted butter?

International Crustacean Union?

You put it behind your butt, where it can clean up your wake a little bit.

I didn't say it's not more aerodynamic. What I insued is that going for or defending the existence of through headset routing because of aerodynamics is, not sorry to say this, idiotic on a mountain bike. As in the gains are SOOOO marginal compared to easy fixes on so many other areas it makes ZERO sense to do it purely for aero gains. And the team mechanics will love them too. So there is no practical reason to go for internal routing, just vanity. On a mountain bike. Also, when it comes to road bikes and aero... Yeah, it matters...

yes... I saw the new Fuel EX in person a few weeks ago. All I can say is its totally different ascetically than anything T has ever produced before. 150mm 36 up front, 140mm Float X out back. Internal frame storage and ABP still there. Longer reach, lower top tube/stand over. The 9.9 will have an "AXS" build and an "AXS Flight Attendant" build to suit the new rockshox lines. As far as the Yeti's go, the race teams are using over stroked 150's that get 155/156 rear travel. So I would suspect the new bike to be a "SB155"

I've done the science, lobster wins

The aero gain of a headset routed cable salad is negated by the number plate in a race (where aero actually matters).

It would for sure, right up until you had to do an oil change every 500 miles, or have tires made for it (you’re not buying off TireRack.com for this)….I love all forms of Motorsport, and cycling, hell boats too, but a race rig, designed for racing is not a daily drive rig….We all have to get over what so and so races, or rides, or what ever. I raced motoX for years, at what I believed to be a fairly high level. Had a chance to spend a weekend with a first class moto team, and realized my world...

headset routing saves exactly 0.000032 drag coefficient for a clusterluck of maintenance and part availability

Attention mountain bike industry! IGNORE THIS DRIVEL. This person does not speak for the rest of us;

You're joking about the aero gains, right?

It’s like there’s an echo in here…

This is the chat for new tech. If you want to debate the nuance of reach length, there's a place for that: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/How-Much-Reach-is-Too-Much-Re…

Not sure why anyone care, or tries to compare themselves to what pro riders use, or do, or eat, or ride, or…. We aren’t pro riders, most have 9-5 jobs, families, and mediocre skills at best, trying desperately to fit rides in between house chores and responsibilities. What “we” need doesn’t even resemble what pro riders use on a race course. I dont think there’s anything ironic about any of it, we’d all be well served to ride what we feel is comfortable, available and within budget. Does anyone yearn for an F1, or NASCAR to drive daily? Are we...

I think longer chainstays are especially attractive for race bikes because they create a grippier front tire. But there's a better place to argue about the nuances of chainstay length: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/The-Internet-Was-Wrong-Short-…

Why downvote, he’s right

Older float x2 fromfox, chrck the pics on Pinkbike

Be nice if bikes came back to externally routed cables. There are holes in the bottom of top tubes now to hold tools/tubes why not add a cable grommet and have them run externally? Makes servicing so much easier.
