I wonder if the good folks over at Transition Bicycle Company have ever laid eyes on Santa Cruz’s color schemes?

I really don’t think it’s possible to over state how awesome the inside line is. Another fantastic listen, another huge bite of insight. Just truly love listening to this stuff. Would also love to hear from Neko!

Cool, Im just about to put one together. Not sure whether to go 26 or 27.5...think your awesome build may have me convinced. Like the pivotal saddle too.

Awesome once again. Very interesting insights on the EWS. The extra practice thing happens in DH too but doesn’t really seem to correlate that much with the results on the race weekend as far as the riders concerned that I’ve noticed go anyways. Besides that Mark Weir is an inspiration, and no not just because he climbed a zillion miles in a day or whatever. Ahhh man and he blasts music too. Shit the guys just a way better version of me.

You are right, those are the standard specs. Rob probably got excited when he read the brochure and thought his was longer than what it really is... :-D

Ahh man absolutely fantastic way to spend an evening listening to this. Great job Spomer. When everything in the media these days is all about the quick fix, 2min edits and insta bangers it’s bloody brilliant to sit back, chill and listen to this stuff. The longer the better. And that great anti-corporate Vital vibe. Keep it coming.

Sam Hill is a great guy to watch and I always pay close attention to his bike checks etc to check out his personal tweaks. He is one of few riders at the top of the sport who really seems to understand (whether he consciously thinks about it or not) how the relationship between himself and the bike works. I...

its really good to see someone thinking about the right offset/headangle to achieve the trail they want with the wheelbase that makes sense...

I actually think the way Ibis is approaching this concept shows more consideration than Transitions “reduce all the offsets” approach. But yeah fair dos to them for sticking their necks out and doing it.

You have actually tried it on your own bike for yourself so your findings are obviously legit and I’m not here to question that - I’m happy you found a way to make your ride work better for you. And you make another good point that as well as all those factors I listed off it may also come down...
