Air shocks have never been better but we all want coil. Everyone I knew ran 203mm rotors with their 26" wheels, then it was 180mm with DH brakes with 29'ers? Now we're all back on big (heavy) rotors again. Bars were narrow, then wide, now getting narrow again. We used to slam our posts, then we all go used to 100mm, no 125mm, no 150mm, no 170mm dropper posts and now we are slamming things again. Long travel, then shorter travel with 29" hoops, now long travel with 29" hoops.
The way things cycle is so interesting to follow. Except for gears... we just seem to add another cog on the back every few years in some linear progression.
