Getting lectured about maturity by a guy named Ballz is a new one

Oh look here's ballz criticising a penis joke Sorry guys I couldn't help it.

This bit is hilarious to me

I’ve been happy with my GR4s. Very quiet, great power with 220/200mm Hope 2.3 rotors. Bleed seemed easy to me🤷🏻‍♂️

I believe the new Saint group will be like how modern pickups are in the USA. Waiting for a truck company to make a durable, usable, no bullshit build. It shows up but they did something so stupid in design that no one wants it, then we just go back to the older models anyways.

I typically use the climb switch once per ride. I like to turn it on halfway up the climb when I remember I have it and might as well use it. I tend to turn it off halfway down the descent when I’m puzzling over why my suspension isn’t working. I suspect I am not in the minority.

Thanks for all the feedback, y'all! Sounds like the Dissector 29x2.4" MaxxTerra DD casing is going to be my guy. Thank you!

that's not really any serious wear IMHO. however santa cruz does sell a lower link if you were concerned or didn't like looking at the damage. that romy 2.4 seems like it has a reasonable amount of clearance, for dry at least.

I had my swingarm converted to UDH on the middle position I

Had a pretty big ride on the new 2.4 Trail Romy radial, just because it’s quite a bit shorter than the Albert I went up 1 psi, I’m impressed by the grip, after the first ride it measures 60mm knob to knob, gained 2mm from when freshly mounted. It rolls considerably faster than the Albert, I can make it drift/slide without forcing it with the brakes unlike the Albert, still great traction on tech/slippery climbs and great braking traction on the way down too, really nice tyre

Yeah the terms are disgusting. I call normal bike “free-range-non-gmo-organic-grass-finished bikes.”

Excuse my French, but could we fucking please stop calling bikes "analog", "acoustic", or -the worst I've heard- "bio"? Bikes are bikes. Ebikes are something else. Now get off my fucking lawn you punks!

Xynotal Trail Endurance is utter crap.

The Albert performed SO poorly in the mud for me you'll slide off the trails LONG before you rub the paint off your links. 😄

you're going to need a lot more clearance if you ever find any mud on your trails, not just clearing the link by 1mm. I had a Bronson v2 with poor rear tire height clearance but it rubbed on the chainstay bridge. result was the same: better never find mud, or you're walking. I'd use a much shorter tire.

They are quite tall. On my RXF38m.2, clearance at the arch is pretty limited, especially when running a mudguard. The RRP Proguard didn't have enough clearance to run it safely, so I have found the Mudhugger is the best for clearance on that fork. On my '26 Marzocchi Z1 there is ample clearance though.

Romy 2.5 will give you more room for sure Tachy not sure, I installed a few now by it seems more aggressive than the 2.4 older one
