The reach actually gets a little bit shortened in this build because of the angleset, the offset bushings and the longer fork, but it’s still quite good for the period

Yeah Paul, but don't you think it should be just a little bit longer?

I think the plates were welded in after the fact to improve stiffness.

Evil had numerous owner-reported case of delaminating carbon at the exit port by the RD. They'd feel the carbon give under finger pressure.

I'm willing to bet that's not too far off the truth. It probably went something like: Acros: hey Catalog Frame Company, use this stupid-ass headset to make your next frame look cool, plus then you can save money on manufacturing since you won't need to do all the tube-in-tube layups Catalog Frame Company: ka-ching! consider it done! Bike Company Exec: I've never actually worked on a bike, but that looks cool! I'll take a million of them!

Specialized had to recall their flagship road bike because their through-the-headset cable routing system was causing fork steerer tubes to fail. (https://cyclingtips.com/2021/10/specialized-tarmac-sl7-recall/) That stands out to me as an example of how this additional complexity can lead to new and unexpected modes of failure--not something I'm eager to introduce on mountain bikes. If through-the-headset routing is going to be standardized--and I am praying that it won't be, frankly, because I think it introduces numerous disadvantages for the average consumer and few real benefits--then (IMO) what we really need is a new way of connecting brake lines to levers that doesn't...

Acros should never be allowed to produce any round moving parts again. Regardless of the internal routing bs.

Because Acros decided they like it and probably give huge discounts so bike companies use their shitty headset to save money but now acros had monopoly since you can’t just go and use another companies headset

Because when I ride by you and see your irritated eye twitch, I’ll feel warm and fuzzy inside. …and then I’ll go home and replace my headset bearings, again. Probably the bb at some point as well, water flows down hill after all…

Then the new Strive came out, where the medium was in large territory, so now he is on a small which is actually about what most people would consider a medium, so he is back to where he started, make sense? short version: bike sizing is messed up, Jack is faster than us, he can just whatever he wants.
