I mulleted my Propain Tyee and run 145 5DEVs on it. I'm just over 6ft and absolutely love them. For a while my legs hurt as new muscles were called into action, but now it just feels fantastic. I do DH runs with my bike as well as 50 mile rides.

Yup, the 1700 series will for sure come with a ratchet freehub drive, besides being welded the X series of rims also use PHR washers instead of eyelets. Haven't used a non-X series rim, but given the price and how well they work, X series is the one to go for for me. Depending on how you ride, how heavy you are and what wheelsize you're running it might make sense to get either the 1900 or the 1700, sell it off and have a 350/EX511 with 32 Jbend spokes built up. I ran XM1501s on my 29er and found...

DT Swiss employee here: We have moved out 1900 level wheels to Ratchet LN. Basically this is our ratchet system used in the 350 and old 240S hubs. The difference is the location of the hub seal. This allowed us to offer the system as an upgrade for the 3 pawl hubs. Double check before buying if you are getting LN or 3 pawl as there are some still in the market that are 3 pawl. It is upgradable. The LN hubs come with 18t ratchets but are upgradable to 36T or 54T. 1900 level wheels use sleeved rims and...

Super cool to see this crossover! Josh is incredibly talented on a dirt bike and seems to be pretty fast on a DH bike as well winning the top amateur award for the weekend. Also rad on Rock Creek's part to let him do this.

I'm considering buying a bike that comes stock with sleeved rims but I can upgrade to welded rims for a bunch more money. I've had sleeved rims before that came apart at the seam but that was years ago before tire inserts. I would like to hear from the rim experts on why I should or should not spring for...

Sorry to thread hijack @Primoz but I know you love it... Progressive generates more force on big hits and remains open/fluttery feeling on small bump. I like that tune on all bikes so far. Linear is a close 2nd- hard to tell which tune you have (linear vs progressive) unless you do back-to-back testing on the same trail/same day/same bike/same shocks... Digressive is basically the opposite of progressive and Linear splits the 2 tunes.

Is that a weight taped under the bb? And a storage door on the bottom of the down tube?

Wild how OF might damage the image of the UCI, but road teams sponsored by repressive regimes like Bahrain, Israel and the UAE, chemical company Ineos, and a slew of gambling sponsorship is fine, as is handing out special awards to the dictator of Turkmenistan.

I believe he's riding a tempo in that screenshot, forget where I saw it be he was remarking how good the short travel bike was on aggressive trails.
Americans are funny, you can have the Nascar Freedom Jesus 500 sponsored by NRA , big pharma and like Busch light and people will say that this is acceptable and more than ok for kids/role models, while "porn" or weed (remember when JD Swanguen got a ban from racing due to having weed in his system?) are still seen as big bad evil and will corrupt the mind of your young teens.

It’s spelled pasty or pastie if we are talking about the same thing. If your kid is finding out about porn from some pastie wearing a helmet advertising it and becoming addicted to it you probably have bigger problems. To say all porn is destructive or exploitive means you are into some pretty weird shit. https://i.redd.it/3ie0x1q0qa021.png just look at the gains from one day of training. Seriously I have never been to fansonly but like redbull or monster on a helmet it is certainly not going to make me a consumer of their product.

I understand your point and i'm not really defending either side but I could argue that Neko's helmet sponsor could be much more destructive than Lew's OF sponsorship. OF is a paywall site, no kid who decides to look up OF is going to see a ponanny getting stuffed with a cucumber unless they steal their parents credit card, but...

Based off the podcast that was mentioned here before the owners of OF want to move away from porn on the site (and use other sites for that) and make OF what it was originally intended to do, a Patreon-style webpage. Sponsorship deals like these sure do look like it. And kids asking 'what's OnlyFans' is a prime example of why they are doing it as their parents will tell them the PG-13 version thus shifting the outlook of the site with the next generation of potential users.
