All

I'm in the same boat... I have a Trance that I want to rebuild at some point and replacing the 34 with a 130mm 36SL is on the list of things I want to upgrade being a not so light rider...

The new fluid looks like a great bike, just like the last one, but man 35#’s for a 130mm bike is chonky. I know from personally owning aluminum norcos they are not lightweights, but that new lyrik is pretty heavy too. Do we really need a lyrik on a 140mm forked bike? Pike chassis seems totally suitable for this situation.

All the Pivot and Evil guys reading this

It's a shame there is no way to adjust the height of your handlebars.If you bike's stack is 10mm lower than you'd like you just have to put up with it.It's really unfortunate.

Recovered my stolen 1-up rack because of one. Dude had his van stolen with his bikes in it. His bikes had AirTags (in the steerer tube? forgot) and he was able to get his van, bikes, my rack + two other stolen 1-Ups and a van full of stolen power tools. The tools weren't his, but the cops said they were now. Inside of the van was torn up and smelled like a methlab…

Carbon is conductive, and hence a pretty good shield for RF. Placing an Airtag inside of a Carbon or metal frame would degrade signal strength pretty severely.

there‘s another layer of frame protection bolted on over the tag.

I think that will last until the first log I try to ride over.

Babe wake up, Yeti just released a $5,000 frameset.

It's actually 127mm in XL? https://yeticycles.com/en-us/bikes/lt/geometry As an XL rider, this geometry actually looks pretty amazing, just need some spacers and a riser bar. Also the alternative color way is a looker:

Somewhere, Brian Cahal is popping Champagne.

I did not expect an XL Yeti to come with 465mm chainstays in the short setting.

You guys....sigh.

Congratulations, you invented Hammerschmidt. In my opinion, and I've already talked about this, something like a Classified hub could be potentially viable for mtb use, but coupled with a 6 speed wide range cassette. Think skipping every second gear we have currently and having around 40 % jumps between gears. The gap in between those is handled by the internal hub. Obviously the derailleur would have to be electric then and the buttons on the handlebars would control both the derailleur and the internal hub as the latter would shift every time with the derailleur shifting only every other gear...

2x drive trains were horrible, end of story.
