The wide line is more of a late apex.

3/24/2015 8:34am Aaaaaaaaw, damn, poor Graves :/ Out and about riding two weeks after separating both shoulders and tearing muscles? What is he, a gladiator??

3/23/2015 2:33pm Yeah, a high single pivot with a pulley more or less on the pivot axis with a classical pull-rod to a rocker design. Apart from the split pivot element and quite likely a lower pivot design, the Wilson is quite similar. It's a surprise to see Commencal go the pulley route though, i'd figure the more well known brands would...

This isn't trail riding. It's freeriding with bits and pieces of riding on trails thrown in. This is an insane track. No wonder the Kiwis are that fast.

So here's the million dollar question, what changed on the crankarm that makes it 'new'? Or is it 'new' and it's actually just the chainring or the spider that is actually new?

Hm, if the Q factor is unchanged, are the crankarms themselves changed at all? Wouldn't it be just the sprocket that would be different? Or does this also mean about 3 mm wider BB shells?

3/20/2015 4:40pm M, i know what you mean with the pushing forward. A friend of mine who's finishing up his kinesiology PhD actually said that a steeper seat tube angle is more efficient, so there's that. The chainstay is basically the same as i chose, a smidgen over 420 mm, same goes for the top tube, 650 mm. I've been throwing head...

3/20/2015 12:23pm Yea, i know the steeper seat angle helps, i've done some quick calculations and it shouldn't be a problem, it's quite similar to more old school, rear-oriented bikes, a percentage point or two of difference. But numbers tell you something, while real world feelings may tell you something else. So it's better to ask if you have the chance. And...

3/20/2015 10:05am We don't have dimes, but i do understand the phrase, i'm lucky to be good with english. How does the long front centre deal with putting your weight over the front axle, is it a problem? Can you use flats or do you have to hang over the front so much that you need to be clipped in to prevent...

Exactly so. Think single speed hubs. How wide is the axle spacing and how wide are the flanges appart? The weight is not much of a problem, as Pinion showed. Higher cost, yeah, is a problem, but only if you're looking at bikes on the cheap. It is a closed unit too, so you save some money in the long run (single speed sprockets and chains can be made cheaper). A pinion only requires an oil change a year. The biggest problems are manufacturer's inertia, they don't want to go to a new, uncompatible and weird standard (weird being how...

Think of it this way, 148 is basicly 140 mm (okay, 141) in 'old units', when we didn't have the through axle shoulders. Think about how this compares to 135 and 150 of the old standards. The analogy is the same considering 142, 148 and 157, as mentioned. But there's a bigger problem. I love the idea of an 11 speed cassette, but feel it could have a wider range still. And the 11th cog gets really near the spokes. How do you get the spoke clearance and get another cog for example? All of that without losing any flange...

Oh my god, this is just perfect. Natural trails, gnar (rocks and roots) and the ability to ride XC helmets!
Enduro like it should be done in my opinion.

3/15/2015 9:30am It's easy to get excited, not look properly and get ahead of yourself. I've certainly been there, done that, will do it again, many times over.

3/15/2015 7:38am It'd be quite a complicated mold if this is carbon TBH... Smally, finnicky features with small, finicky coutouts. It does look really smooth (carbon-like), but i think i might be seeing a weld by the upper rocker thingie mount between the 'seat tube' or better yet the vertical plates and the top tube at 0:32. There's a suspicious ridge/bulge/something. The...
