Which flavour of the hat do I have to eat this time?

Wasn't it stock on V1 Big Hits? (This bike... 26/24 mullet and w/ the bigger linkage, up to 3' tires -damn I need to get one)

This tire is from a design that is probably older than you. Before the DHF was even a thing, a lot of us in here ran this tire and it was awesome. Except for when the side lugs used to tear super easy, but hopefully they fixed that.

Get a Di2 adapter to move the bottle cage further up the downtube...

Should we take credit for this decision? I think we, the Vital horde, should do just that.

Not all pros are anal and picky about their setup and just ride what they get. They are simply fast. Some need to tinker to hell and back. It's the same with average riders, some thinker and some just ride. There is no sense to bemoan people that take a different approach to riding. As long as they articulate their feelings and can defend them rationally, it's all good in my book. Same goes for the Yeti vs. Specialized choice, if you can defend the choice of the Yeti by saying "I want what I want" it's much better than...

A centimeter is a huge difference in reach IMO. If the next generation of my favorite bike grew by 10 mm, I would probably hate the change.

Product development is done by people who are good at product development. A multiple world cup winner or world champion does not necessarily fit that role... Not saying Sam wouldn't be good at it, just saying he might not be a good fit for the role. Plus Australia is not the best location to do product development for Sram...

not sure, could just be really dark lighting?
