The rims on Calebs bike are aluminum, I saw them in person. There will be carbon wheels too. Should be released within the next weeks from what I was told.

we may or may not have had to buy a super computer to handle all the data.

I'm right there with ya on the Nashville chicken. My guilty pleasure. I've been a long time Forekaster + Rekon lover but this year I decided to switch it up a bit and going a similar route. Magnotal soft front and Magnotal grip rear. First impressions have been really positive. They roll like a rekon race and feel grippier than a Forekaster. Plus they come in tanwall which is nice. Looking forward to the mountains thawing so I can really give them a go on proper terrain.

Transition things: New Spur is sometime next week (saw them and the colours look good, but not sure if there are any major changes?) and new TR11 is later in March.

Hello brake nerds. I subjected my partner and best friend to a year of brake swaps to get their opinions. We made a low production value video talking about our thoughts. I would also like to contribute some brake info because I actually took the time to disassemble and measure the master cylinder diameters. Really interesting how different the Lewis and Hayes feel with identical hydraulic specs. Lever geometry, leverage curve, return spring rate, seal friction, and pad compound all add up. Also I feel like formula would make a few running changes and be competing with the top dogs...

the TRP version works good.

The lever throw with trp/maven setup is slightly longer than a stock trp Dhr evo setup. Not unusable by any means, but it’s a decent amount of lever throw for sure. Modulation and power were top tier though.

Don't know if this was mentioned. New tallboy is no longer VPP, 140 130mm

They are keeping the flex stay but it has a flip chip now. Frame storage is also confirmed, not sure on travel but I assume it stays 120r to differentiate from the smuggler.
