Larger rear tire than front is my only logical conclusion. 2.5 R, 2.35 F maybe?

Why does the rear wheel look so big?

Varaxis Added a reply to Middle of the road, All around tubeless rim?
11/25/2014 3:57pm I believe Stan's and WTB are old news. They've been recommended through word of mouth for years for little more reason than being recommended by many, when compared to the latest rims. Nice to be the first thing most people think of, when someone asks for a tubeless rim... Why not save up for carbon? They're pretty affordable now and...

Is that a new BOS fork? QR cam lever on the end of the axle looks newish. 29er? Edit: oh, it's the Dizzy. Looks like it has more travel in the pic though.

Varaxis Added a reply to Helmet vs bar mount headlights?
10/26/2014 12:42pm I tried to run bar mounted light by itself and took a blind boulder roller/drop and planted my front wheel where I last remember the good line was. I painfully discovered that the line was very recently re-made to be easier to roll with a neatly stacked ramp of rocks. Apparently the rock I was aiming for was moved, used...

Chrome. It works now, for some reason after a PC restart.

The comparison should pretty much be decided at the cost stage, between those. The Orbea is as expensive as carbon super bikes, yet this Capra is as expensive as alloy models... the real questions I have are, what else is there that really could contend with this for Bike of the Year, and when will it be available in the US, now that the 1st gen production bugs have been squashed.

From 1 min into the video and on, she's just floating... roots, ditches, holes, etc. just absorbed and pumped, riding smoothly through as if they weren't there, even in the corners. Seeing her go through the puddles, knowing there's sometimes greasy slime mold that grows in that stuff, and then get launched out made me worry about her slipping on roots there after. I watched it again just to watch her line choice and get a better look at the ground (interesting trail to have uphill braking bumps), and I was impressed. I even paused it a couple times to...

I usually find any Ti frame jawdropping, but this is kind of ruined by the components (like that alfine shifter).

Fanny/back pack hybrid... I guess that's one way to eventually make fanny/hip/lumbar packs acceptable.

What's Shimano not doing right, that makes others try and put out a competing product? For some reason I want to say I'd take a Deore over this.

The driveside load-bearing cartridge bearing looks like it's practically in the center of the axle. That conical lip on the freehub body looks like it might make the freehub bearings carry some load too though, to keep the axle straight.

I don't understand how the shock works well being compressed at that angle; I imagine it suffers from bushing bind and accelerated wear (both leading to poor bump sensitivity). Looking at the fork, I know it can't be that bad, but when there's room to make it better, why not?
