I can't believe this is even a discussion. Without innovation and pushing
forward we would be using leaches and blood letting to cure cancer. The bike
you buy today is twice the machine as the bike you bought 5 years ago. Today's
nomad is a better downhill bike than the Intense M3 I owned 7 years ago. My
downhill bike now weighs less than my full suspension xc bike from 5 years
ago. If the price to pay for that is my parts not matching between my xc and
dh rig fine. I can't switch tires from my truck to my car either but that's
fine. They are two different vehicles for 2 different purposes. I say go crazy
bike manufactures and we will know which standards are better in 5 years
because they will be the ones that are still in use.
