"Loyalty is what comes to mind... with YT" Well, that makes one of us.

The unfair advantage isn't that the line outside the pole is faster, it's that they failed to pull whatever move or line they were trying to do BEFORE that point and ended up unable to keep it on track. What you're suggesting basically equates to a rider being able to skip a tricky section of track just as long as going around a course marker isn't faster. Which would turn the actual course into nothing more than a suggested route of travel. "The idea that minor mistakes or falls completely erase a race run..." - well yeah. If you fail...

I know this is a setup discussion thread, but did want to chime in on something I find interesting. It seems like everyone of the press release images has like 25mm or more of headset spacers under the stem. If that is how you want to present the bike, and hint that it's where the bars should be, then maybe just add +10 or so to your stack height. I get that people look at reach and ignore stack, but lets be honest. a 480 bike with 25mm of spacers is a very similar if not identical to a 470ish...

arguing about gearbox shifting sucks. Take it to a new thread please.

Am I the only one that thinks using a bike diaper to hide pretty basic suspension is kinda lame. I guess it gets the people talking though.

From 2009:

(Edit) the silicone 20A / 25A compound versions are ready in 32mm and 34mm now! I’ve always loved having thicker grips and have been riding diety supracush for a long time which is a 34mm diameter. I’ve recently created my own grips in an effort to have my own larger grips. Two of these listed in the link are at 36mm and I use a rubber/foam mix to make them. Been riding them all season. https://mtbairgrips.com/collections/grips If anyone wants to try them in exchange for a review lmk or you can also of course buy them. I’m currently working on...

Will there be multiple bikes at different travel levels similar to the SB bikes? Oh, and coil compatibility 😁

I know they had a pretty good warranty program for the Switch Infinite sliders - what's their policy for all the bearings in the 6finity links? Can you convert between the MT & LT? Any off-menu/Lunch Ride builds possible for them (specifically the MT)? 150/160 is my sweet spot, which is between the MT & LT. Mullet options? What's max seat post insertion depth for each size?

Dang that looks production and incredibly sick 😯 Say that Vital had access to know more about this bike, what would you want to know? ( hypothetically speaking

they should use actual moto parts... because they are fucking eMotos. I hate those fucking bikes.

Wasn't this settled shortly after the people-standing-on-derailleurs stuff? The axle takes the direct load, not the frame (or am I misremembering?)

Doping is always a step ahead, only the dumb dopers get caught
