Why? Because they consistently make great bikes decade after decade and refuse to sell out? Never got the specialized hate.

As electronic shifting becomes more ubiquitous, I'm curious what the VitalMTB community thinks of this technology. There are already a handful of threads around here with a debate between electric and mechanical shifting, so I'd rather ask in a specific thread. I'll hold my thoughts to later in this thread, but if anyone has any nuanced thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

A Propain employee was on Pinkbike saying they read the comments on their bike reviews and they got it wrong with headset cable routing as everyone didn't want it. So kudos to them for listening.

AM/ Enduro bikes (as in non-electric) will not really be a thing in 3-5 years. I'm certain I'll get downvoted for this, heck I would have downvoted this 2 years ago, but in a world where a mid-power e-bike and a full Enduro bike has their weights converge, the bike just becomes redundant. I pedaled my Enduro bikes for a lot of years but at this point it just seems silly to exert so much energy and ride time into the climbing portions of the ride.

This statement has been made confusing by SRAM marketing, and isn't true: " A T-Type transmission or something similar will shift better than mechanical because it knows the precise time to shift to prevent damage and premature wear. " There is no timing, there's no sensor that knows the position of the cassette. The magic is in the cassette itself, which is designed more like an OG front dual chainring with ramps that only move the chain up when it hits those designed shift points. There are also narrow-wide elements on the largest cogs to retain the chain, presumably for...

Apologies for tater cam. New Ripley spotted today. Reach grows. Same design as the HD6. In frame storage, mullet chip, no other adjustments seen. Claims made: The Ripmo will share the same triangles with a different shock and yoke. Build weight XT/Fox Factory/Ibis Carbon wheels/ DHR II and Dissector 28 lbs.

With how many tweaks the big S does to the Stumpy I would be surprised if they *don't* always have a new one on the way. New Enduro is waiting to clear stock for sure. You can only assume they don't want to end up in the mess Trek is in selling current gen and previous gen side by side.
