Yeah who wants social justice am i right? Overflowing with irony you bunch of absolute snowflakes crying because you got down voted on a mountain bike website Yes internet activism is annoying and pointless, I'd rather people were out doing actual political work but my god it's better than you right wing cry babies.

Hey, remember 9 posts ago in this thread when we were bummed that Bike Magazine was going out of business? Or the part where we were grateful for decades of great MTB content from so many amazing contributors, editors, photographers, and writers? That was cool.

Daamn, it seems that, for such a long time, I've been doing it totally wrong, using carparks only to park my car.

Yes, they did. DW approached them with the design, and they declined. Suddenly they "invented" ABP on their own and released it before DW had it on any bikes. There was a lawsuit over this: https://www.bicycleretailer.com/north-america/2012/09/07/weagle-sues-tr… DW did not win, though: https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/news/Judge-Rules-Treks-ABP-Design-Does-No…

I did write Milled out, not Drilled out. So, washers on the bolts to provide for an appropriate gap and clamped down tight in the vice of a Bridgeport. Nothing sketchy about it if you have access to the right equipment.

How much do you wanna bet it’s gonna be a mullet? Seems like the cool thing to do nowadays.

I think it might be partly due to the lockdown and social distancing, more people online sleuthing through forums and looking for something to talk about. Also possibly why we are all over-reacting one way or another. When I came across the new Commencal meta power with prices on a German forum a few weeks before launch, I shared it around a few forums I post on. Nothing malicious, I love Commencal, it was just pure excitement and wanting to start a discussion. And does it really hurt them? We still can't buy them a month after the reveal... And...

Looks so realistic doesn’t it? Almost as if it were done in the matrix

You could make it up to us by giving the thread an official early preview before the other sites. That would be a classy move.

Those who are thinking that the current "modern" geo is good enough as it is now and will only get "minor updates" in the coming years are probably the reason why the mtb industry is hesitant to roll out the 61° head angle, 80° seat angle Enduro mullet mtb of the future, with a dual crown fork, of course.
