"Pinned Wide Open" 10/10 would buy just for inscription. Also, keen to try 'em bc I'm a fan of the Deathgrips, so these ought to be a cool feel too.

{Regarding the angler dropper post} First idea seems reasonable, with a limit screw providing the "desired angle" at the top and bottom. The second one...eh, I have enough of a problem with the fore and aft position for my seat, forget about the whole thing levering back and worth that much. Neat idea, always cool to see innovation, but I've...

Interesting take on the long-travel trail bike. The more nimble angles will be a boon for those of us who ride rugged terrain and a lot of tech climbs but don't approach speeds much over 30mph on our local rides' descents. Good to see a toned down edit with fun riding - the initial drop in on that slab looks sketchyyyyy.

Funny story: When I saw the Jeffsy 27.5 release, I thought it would be like this...which it is not. Kona gets it. The move to expand the "super aggro enduro race beast for the consumer" has been a little misguided in my opinion, as most people would be perfectly well-off with a general issue 140-150mm, 67 +/- HA bike with proper reach and stack. Looking through the geo chart on this bike, I can't help but smile to myself, because this is actually what they've done. Rad. Also, this was 100% the video I needed to see today; Dark mood...

sideshow Added a comment about feature Aaron Gwin's Signature Onza Tire Is More Than Just a Look-alike

It's like in Alpine ski racing when a skier can feel the difference in 1 or .5 degree change in their edge camber. Minnaar is legendarily fastidious with his setups, from tire psi to suspension, just ask Jordi Cortez. Brandon Semenuk too, with bike geo - there's a story about how he said something was 'off' with a brand new build, SRAM tech measured it, and the fork was 5mm too low. Tire pressure is no different as Spomer points out, as it will be the same on a relative scale when testing under consistent conditions. Niki Lauda, the great...

That's pretty wild that Gwin is knowledgeable enough about tires to basically mock this up on a napkin and have it come to life in nearly the original form. I've always thought tire design was a really overlooked aspect of the industry, and the more I learn, the more I marvel at it!

Many things to comment on, but I want to dredge it back up: how ridiculous is that new Norco going to be? Those lads are going to be charrrrrging on that thing. It's a Zerode G2 without a gearbox. I think the shake ups of riders is going to lead to some wicked riding too. A fresh start for so...
