I wonder if they'll ditch the 27.5 and make it 29 with a mullet option with a travel option above the ripmo. I can see the HD being a 29 165ish/170 over the ripmo's 147/160

i'll say it again. Transition is not a religious order that has forsaken its followers. the puritanical vibe towards this company and the bikes it makes is astonishing.

Assymetric tyres look so weird!

Doesn‘t Santa Cruz use a bearing mount on the lower link due to larger rotational movement? I was thinking about upgrading the shock on my wife‘s Bronson v3 but it‘s somehow hard to find shocks with that mount.

It was definitely a problem for me on the DW DHR. I went through countless linkage-side DU bushings. For example I started with brand new bushing/hardware on the first day of a rainy whistler trip and there was visible slop in the bushing by the end of the day. By the end of the trip I was wrapping the aluminum spacers in teflon tape each morning and each lunch break to minimize the movement haha.

I would say this is a very long time coming. They got their 27.5 TX spot on but always make the 29ers so dull.

Not sure about the DHR, but I know that Scott made a big deal about their previous generation Gambler having minimal shock rotation. It was mentioned in nearly every article about the frame. "The floating link creates a progressive feeling suspension with an almost direct compression of the shock, minimizing DU bushing rotation. This increases shock bushing life and improves small bump sensitivity.” "The linkage system is designed to minimize shock hardware rotation; this reduces wear and Scott reckon helps keep the initial stroke nice and supple (more relevant when running an air shock). " This doesn't seem to...

while I agree on the looks, Gwin covered his own up as it was a Trek Session. ;-)

Looks like a Galfer. Weren’t they prototyping a 246mm rotor last year? Or in 2020? The wave design which i think is the one on the photo, prior to last year’s 223mm proto with the cooling fins/blades/thingys.

They’re the 246mm Galfer rotors.

They are and don't call me Shirley.

How big are nekos rotors ? Look bigger than 220mm surely ?

The rocker is actually made out of an old hockey stick

First post. Somebody mentioned "I'm not an engineer but" I are engineer, and our FEA says

Literally two posts apart: "but at least it is better looking than the M29." "Shame, since that Cero m29 was one of the best looking bikes of the last 10 years" Beauty is in the eye of the bee holder, or something like that I guess.

Found Jeff's burner account

Expect to see some new frames for Neko in the next couple days!
