The Specialized EVO linkage to shock eyelet mounting allows for the shock to move laterally very easily particularly at high bottom out loads. What is strange is PUSH puts on a "polished spherical bearings" which would allow even more lateral deflection and bike stiffness would decrease even further. I wonder if the test riders can feel the lateral collapsing deflection at bottom out which seems like it would not handle predictably.

What about chain noise with SRAM's new "no clutch" system since losing the patent battle to Shimano? On my Eagle setup, my chain was so noisy banging on the chainstay due to "no clutch", I changed over to XTR 12 speed and it is amazingly quiet. I don't think I would ever go back to SRAM after that expensive mistake....

IN = Shimano derailleur with real clutch and quiet chain that stays on. OUT = SRAM Eagle derailleur with pseudo Type 3 clutch dropping/banging chains like CRAZY... Pissed I bought their crap..

Think... How many 1/10th's of a second does the stylish air brake (visor) subtract from your potential time? It does matter....

The spherical washers are to go under the caliper so if the frame mounts are not planar to the axle it can still align properly to the rotor.

Needs an Ultra 157 DH Boost hub with an optimized right-side hub flange to a short 7 speed cassette body and Ultra Asym 29er rim.

You could use "tape backed" Velcro on the frame and sow in Velcro on the bag so it is removable and washable. Cool indeed!!!

Huh, they were making such a big deal about that DRCV shock a few weeks ago, and these show up... with Monarch Plus across the entire line.
