By "seat tube" I meant the tube above the BB, onto which the main pivot and the upper pivot are attached. The force I'm talking about isn't transmitted into that piece by sitting on the saddle, but by the suspension compressing and the rear end flexing laterally.

Jess Blewitt riding the new GT fury? She’s been hiding it on Instagram lately but looks like coronet have let the cat out of the bag. ...

There’s been lots of photos of that bike for months. The real news is that those tires aren’t Michelins and that there’s been a bunch of photos of wyn running the same non-Michelin tires.
Conti sponsored GT before so I wouldn't be surprised if they're back. The Kryptotals (and Argotals, too) also seem to be the best tires to be on right now.
Probably. Might also have a power meter. He's not using flight control suspension, which is interesting.
To be honest, very few people (pro’s)ride rockshox Flight attendant, maybe more suited for trail riding than enduro? A few riders on Trek team used it and some on specialized sram?

New AXS mech mounted! Seems to be complete new drivetrain.
Yup, the levers stick out from the handlebar like crazy... Too bad I didn't buy a set of the 'old' Codes when they were 200 €...

The crank being taped up and having holes in it... That would make it not carbon! Which is a good thing in my book if I'm honest.
Yeah thats the new crank, they look super burly in person. I don't think they are too light, I may or may not have held a set, but didn't put them on a scale.
I'm super surprised by that caliper though. They look sick, I'm extremely curious to see if they are switching to mineral oil.
Spitballing here, but I think SRAM may have ponied up some money for this deal to keep Jesse on the books as a development rider/tester, dude is in tune with his gear and gives good feedback it seems.
And running a new dual button AXS remote (same mounting style as the new AXS shifter).
Anyone have any idea what a second button on the dropper remote would be good for? As well, is there any indication you can run the "old" AXS controllers with the new derailleur/dropper if you don't like the new ones?
I really like the shape of the original AXS controllers (and don't even like the updated rocker paddle), and definitely wouldn't want one of the bigger new ones.
I could see a use for a 2-button one on the dropper side for integration on flight attendant bikes though (like to switch presets).

There was a recent firmware update for the current controllers, possibly that was to provide support for the new components when they launch.
2nd button is confirmed for Flight Attendant. It also gives you the option to vary what each button does - you can have a gear change AND the dropper drop on the left remote (and the other gear change on the right). I'm guessing an e-bike middrive motor from Sram would also incorporate into the AXS ecosystem.

Wow that sarcasm went straight over your head hey

Definitely not Michelin, not Pirelli either.

jesse‘s on the new sram drivetrain, cranks look really different, kinda like those 5dev cranks but taped up for secrecy🤔
Integrated bash guard. Flat top chain. Doesn't look like taped 5 dev to me, but something being hidden or new?
I'd say they're almost certainly an iteration on these proof of concept things from last year.

it is interesting but is it needed?
With the new shiffters, both for the mech and the AXS dropper.
That's an integrated bash guard on the chainring and taped crank arms.
That's also the new Sram levers and maybe the proto calipers ?
Interestingly, the mech don't have anymore branding.
Nothing new, only refine parts that'll be release this spring
Definitely all the new shit.
A better look at the new caliper too.

Those bars are crazy narrow
You need a set? I have 4 sets of newRSC Codes as extra, spare
740mm iirc (he's 170cm)
Looks like a wing mirror off some bodged attempt of a homemade café racer!

looks like jesse's testing that new vivid/X2-style airshock from RS.
