TR11 review coming next Tuesday! We tested the Demo 11 because we wanted to, and because we had the opportunity to ride one of the proto bikes, so closing the loop on the test was a cool opportunity. Also FWIW, the amount of demo 11’s in Whistler under people who def paid for them was shocking.

So... Everyone's suddenly really ramping up on 30.5 eh? I just opened Instagram, and of course it reloaded half way through reading it and it's now lost to time, but from what I quickly saw was I believe Reserve having 30.5 wheels ready to go as they know it's going to be a thing. Think of the poor tire companies. Do you know how many DHF skus there will be lol.

Hey I run your bar/riser setup on my 9r! Great stuff.

It's entirely possible to objectively discuss economic impact factors which originate from governments without being a shitlord troll about it. If you talk to an investment advisor about what sectors and companies are facing headwinds, they do exactly that (the objective discussion, not reddit troll mode).

I briefly owned a topaz back in the t2 days (in 2016) and constantly had reliability issues. No comment on their current stuff... but it doesn't surprise me given how many challenges I had back then. I would just buy a take-off float x or rockshox super deluxe. I can't tell what frame that is, but seems like it has a rocker link and not a yoke, so your coil options may be worth a look. You can get a heck of a coil shock these days in the 150-200 range that is a self/home service away from being good...

Specialized did this down in my neck of the woods three years ago with a large powersports dealer in Austin. The deals they made to move Levo's was insane and a few of my buddies got Gen 3 Levo's for a fraction of what they were being sold at in our local Specialized stores. It was a clear WIN for the consumer 😉

It will just be boost since it's road...

Maybe because the Jade is made at the SunTour factory, as the rest of the DVO products? I bought a SunTour TriAir a few years ago, and when I disassembled it to service it, the main piston wasn't anodized in SR Blue, but in DVO's signature green.

Looks like he is using DVO Jade parts on the Suntour shock

That's an awfully confident statement from someone with little or no experience operating a company with large scale outsourced production, overseas or domestic. Care to share a factual example? Also what and who is a 'marketing type brand?' Last I checked the bike industry is collection of honest brands, riders, and designers trying their best to make products of value or improve the experience and enjoyment of other cyclists. Of course they also have to market and advertise if they want to stay in business, but both realities can coexist. You're the NZ distributer for Hayes/Manitou and operate a suspension...

... well for the most part, anyway.
