Honestly, the easiest way to prevent people from constantly questioning the shock pressure gain/loss is to remove the gauge from the shock pump and integrate a the gauge into the shock design itself. But then again that would just cost more and add useless weight.

These brakes look like a new/prototype brake system from Hope Tech.

Wilson 29 is one good looking frame.

All the years I worked for a bikeshop, we used to tell people that we can’t put aerobars on riser bars haha. That was just to avoid liabilities and being held accountable for user error.

Also more muscle=dense mass increase=weight increase=bottom out change. Also conditioned soft tissues, connective tissues, and cardiovascular structure in extremities can withstand high frequency bumps and vibrations. Also conditioned muscle memory in itself has a major effect on response and compensation directed toward the immediate momentary events encountered during the riding process. Jumping head first into a new experience before the body has the chance to adapt, usually will make most extreme changes uncomfortable. The best setup for a race course would require the rider to take time to do what is necessary to adapt and evolve the physiology of their body, before they can comfortably utilize the best setup for the speed they plan to travel over a set course. Obviously unplanned variables that occur will result in the different race results for each rider. Variables that where unknowns during the setup and adapt processes.

Awesome bike, how do you like the brakes? How do they compare to other contenders?

A great bike and a great school.
