Sizing in 10mm reach increments, spanning 110mm of reach, yet the chainstays only grow 10mm... F/C from 1.74 to 1.98... "perfect fit" Atherton, never change

Imagine choosing a standard that results in a heavier and weaker handlebar... 🤦 35mm handlebars are stronger and lighter than 31.8 for the same stiffness. The first 35mm bars in like 2012 may have been overly stiff but minus a couple of outliers that hasn't been the case for the better part of a decade now.

Do you watch DH racing?? How many podiums have less than a 1% spread in times? The times are so close and the speeds are so fast that aero makes a huge difference, much more than what suspension platform you're on. I guarantee you the difference between 4 bar and 6 bar is marginal, but the difference between speed suits, aero helmets and fairings vs standard DH garb is enormous. Of course what bike company would throw money at a sport where the bike matters less than the aero optimizations you make to the bike + rider?

Six seconds in a DH race at the WC level is huge..

3 percent over 200 seconds is 6 seconds.

lots of people demonstrating that they slept through school

You're forgetting about the existence of air. World cup DH races don't happen in a vacuum chamber. Wind resistance is more favorable to a person with a larger mass to surface area ratio (generally speaking, the larger riders). Loic Bruni is going to be less affected by wind resistance than Jackson Goldstone. To think about it another way, if they both go skydiving, Loic's terminal velocity is going to be much higher than Jackson's. They won't fall at the same rate, because air exists.

This is objectively wrong. La Thuille DH track is 1.4 miles, and the winning run was 3' 27", so the average pace was ~24mph.

Have you watched DH races before?

The ultimate brake set up?

Universal DeWholeBackHalf Hanger

And then they can make UDH3, which is the same as UDH1 but uses a slightly different thread pitch for no reason.

Wishes for 2026: Looking to buy a light trail bike in coming months so hopefully one of those 3 happens: New SC Tallboy gen6, hoping for frame weight under 6lbs / 2700g, travel increase to 140mm front /130mm rear wouldn't bother me too much but would prefer it to stay at 130/120mm Yeti SB120 with sixfinity suspension, I have no interest at all for their switch infinity system that require proprietary bearings and frequent maintenance. A switch to sixfinity would likely mean heavier frame weight but could accept it for the suspension performance boost. Light trail Ibis, be it a...

Higher stack, not overly long, better ratio XL bikes (1.8-1.82 range)

Greeting people with "what's up assholes?" in videos is not poor attitudes. Leave Unc alone, he's honest and he works hard to spread the good word of long rear centres.
