Giants Cadex bikes would like to have a word with your comment,

So as far as dvo dampers go, X Gona give it to ya.

Vul...... Nevermind.

The DW Pivot bike with the two driveside chains is the REAL reason the industry has been silently pushing 55mm chainlines on us #illuminati #qanon

Having poor frame alignment never them bothered before.........

The amazing part is there are people lining up to buy those $1000 cassettes. Helpful for me to remember that I'm not the target demographic, because if replacing a cassette cost me $1000 I would probably quit mountain biking. Side note about SRAM cassette materials- I'm the third owner of a SRAM 11-speed XX1 cassette with thousands of miles on it, and it still shifts better (and quieter) than a brand new GX 1150 pinned cassette. So whatever steel they used for those old super high-end X-Dome cassettes, it was worth it. Funny part is, those old XX1 cassettes were...

Devil is in the details on suspension.

It’s not even a big problem for future Commencal owners, because majority of bikes will end up in bike shops with cracked frame warrantys before the headset dies. And then the bikeshop will have to deal with headset cable routing and bearing replacement.

Is it April elready?

At times I feel Peak Torque and the like seem to exist solely to fill the space and views of the crowd that wants to talk down everything new. I don't for a second believe that guy actually believes a lot of what he says. That or he's the ego stroking know-it-all engineer type who can always see the super obvious problem no one else does and the lesser engineers didn't consider. Ever notice how often they don't actually use any of the stuff they 'review.' If anyone's worried about the direct mount derailleur being misaligned due to dropout manufacturing...

If your axle and cassette aren't aligned then the derailleur alignment is the least of your issues! Its a worry when someone who is a bike mechanic has no idea.

How can a derailleur thats aligned to the axle be out of alignment with the cassette? I feel like people are trying really hard to crap on this tech, but it seems pretty dang dialed.

Sometimes I don't get the hate Sram receives. We are all arguably on better bikes and better drivetrains because of their push for 1x. One of my favorite bikes ever, the Kona Process 111 was able to be created because of 1x systems (Kona unapologetically designed it without the ability to run a FD). Color me a Sram fanboy if you'd like, but they aren't afraid to shake up the status quo with new innovations. I have AXS on my Spur and run the AXS reverb on 2 different bikes and absolutely love it. I can't wait to see the...

Found a spy pic of the new knolly

I just stumbled on to this link within the 'roots run deep' page https://yeticycles.com/technology/special-projects

It's a shock version of the totem. Called the scrotem. I'm guessing it'll be extra supple and sensitive.

I cant for the life of me think why GX isnt acceptable, other than youd like something more blingy. I'm willing to put a 6 pack on the fact, that in a blind test, you couldnt tell the difference between a GX rear mech, and an either higher priced equivalent. Ill supply the bike, and beer, and put you to the test on it if youre willing. As noted in earlier posts, you can get current gen, cable XX1 groupsets on TBS bike parts for mere shillings. If you need it, go get it, otherwise, I'm unsure about complaining about...

jesus wept, The amount of whinging from you lot on a forum specifically about tech rumours and innovation is astounding to me. Primoz, man, like I said, theres tonnes of brand new XX1 out in the world, go buy it so you no longer have to worry. I can only assume you have tried AXS on your mtb, strangely everyone Ive spoken to that owns it, absolutely loves it. Ive seen many online complaints, but I dont put too much stock into that, cause often its people weirdly expressing opinions about something they know very little about those of you...
