Joe just dropped this very interesting video, addressing the whole "steel is flexy" thing. The results are probably a bit surprising to some people, but after riding a Murmur for all of 2024 I can attest to the fact that the frame is no "wet noodle" - far from it. As always, food for thought from Starling:

We all know the theory: lower tire pressures mean more grip, and higher pressures roll faster. But when it comes to real-world speed, which one really wins? I set out to answer this with 30 timed runs down the same track. ◾ The Experiment Two sets of tire pressures were chosen for my 88kg (194lbs) weight: 25/28 psi (front/rear) for the higher pressures and 18/20 psi (front/rear) for the lower pressures. These pressures maintain a consistent 0.9 front-to-rear ratio, with the high pressures aligning with recommendations such as those from E13 . After three warm-up laps, each tire pressure setup...

Touchdown is a very simplified form of a bypass. Instead of flowing through a tunable port, the ID of the shock body flares outward for the top 10% of travel so that oil can flow around the piston. With bypasses as seen on trucks, each bypass acts more like a position specific HSC. External bypasses are as seen above. On Fox internal bypass shocks they have an inner and outer shock body so that oil can be routed through the area between them. The oil flow on those shocks is controlled by a sort of finger shaped shim stack. Trucks...
