I absolutely love this feature. Keep them coming

I love Sram GXP cranks for BB92 carbon frames. But with the Sram switching to DUB GXP is dead. These will be my next cranks. Now to get my Next G4 warrantied for the second time....

I can confirm the Code R develop the same lever flop.

I test fit DHR ll 27.5x2.8 on i40 rims and it did not provide adequate clearance imo. I am running Sun Duroc rims with i36 and Eliminator Black Diamond 2.6. Grip is ok but I am not a fan or how the casing sticks out past the knobs.

Great write up Andrew.

Any thoughts on the 27.5x2.6 High Grip.

I am looking at them for my Chromag Wideangle. I have read that they are a bit wider 69mm at the knobs and 63 at the casing. That really appeals to me as I find the Minion 2.5 a little harsh with the lack of volume.

I was under the impression it was the seat stay that changed.  I would love to know what they actually change.

As Norco changes their CS length with every size I wish Norco would offer different lengths as aftermarket.  So people could play around and see what works for them

Any updates on real-world service life?

Does anyone make a flat pedal winter shoe????

I wish the new Alum Rockys had these lines. The Alum Altitude would look so much better with straight lines and top tube seat tube gusset. The current Alum Altitude is forgettable in a sea of Taiwanese cookie cutter bikes.

Having a Rootdown as a 29er hardtail would be way more fun then a 29er fully

Posted Our island trails are really HT friendly as well...techy,

There is crew of 12 or more of us in nanaimo that ride hardtails on a regular basis. Three guys only have hardtails. Its a blast.

Carbon bar 5nm. Alum bar 6nm

I went on that fuckyeahhardtail insta page and discovered the On-One Hello Dave - what do the resident bike design wizards make of that bike? 62 degree HA reminds me of an Evil w/Monster T, does that really ride well?

That HA might sound crazy but keep in mind with a hardtail the HA gets steeper as you go through the travel. 

To me the only number on that bike that concerns me is the chain stay. It's crazy long. All the other number looked fine.

DVO calls for 7.5wt oil in the lowers, any brand but Maxima or RS. I hear people are useingFox Gold 20wt. Anyone use Fox gold 20wt in the lowers?

In a small market it's all about distro - we might as well be on an island up here. The two big dogs carry SRAM/RS, and if you're not being sold by them, your product will always be less common. 

You might as well ask about Manitou, or even Marzocchi.

Would Maz not fall under the Fox distribution umbrella? Mana who?

Got to love that the fix is electric tape... They admit that they install electric tape from the factory to solve the rattle...

I bought two 31.6 x 180mm OneUp v2 droppers. One for my Chromag Wideangle and one for my Carbon Norco Range. They both knock while fully extended. Its like ther is no bushings guiding the bottom of the post so it just slaps around. Very annoying sound.  Is this what yours is doing? Have your reached out to OneUp yet?

That's what mine did. I spoke with Oneup extensively and did all the fixes they recommended and none of them solved It. I hated that knocking noise - totally kills my flow when I'm riding. It was especially bad coming from a Bikeyoke Revive which Is smooth and so quiet.

So OneUp had no fix?
