Berd cuts weight because of the spokes for the most part. 32 x 282mm Sapim spokes (29er) weighs 196g on my scale which equates to just under 400g per wheelset. Berd uses the 'cloth' spokes which weigh much less. What ever happened to Ti spokes?!

Came here to say the same thing! It's the Moops!

To be fair Cr4w you're 7' tall. If I was in your shoes I would be happy there are more manufacturers willing to do custom sizes.

I'm 6'4" and run mine with a 170 Zeb, rides great. I've got it set up very similar to the S5 Enduro it replaced

I have 2FOs as well purely because they make my size.

Yup! Hold it high so any rogue bubbles in the line can travel into the master. After a long day, if my brakes get mushy I'll pull the levers off and do the snap without opening the port or anything, works like a charm

The secret is after you've pushed fluid up and snapped the levers etc, install the screw and take the levers off the bar. Point the lever towards the sky and snap the lever a few more times, then reinstall. Take the bleed screw out, top up the fluid and you're done.

I found that I can throw my personal expensive clubs just as far, if not further, than rentals.

Im 230 pounds and have my psi set at 295. I have had no issues thus far. My 2020 Enduro was set at 270psi so not too far off.

You know the scene in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when he's at the motorcycle race and his beer turned to mud? Thats what its like here in Kamloops, why ruin a good IPA when Coors Banquets will do, plus they actually are refreshing.

That bike confirms my Ebike argument. All of my Ebike buddies say they're great for getting out for quick dad laps while the kid naps, and then brag about how they were in full boost the whole time and still have %60 battery. So I'm thinking to myself, why have a the big dog super heavy battery if you're not using it? Why not have something more like the Orbea and actually enjoy the downhills more?

unfortunately they followed the too steep STA trend (can't blame them, that's what people are thinking they need right now), so won't work for me sadly.

Tall people need steeper STA, myself being one of them. Shorter people, I would say under 6' could do with slacker as the post isn't a mile long.

Recommend me a weight loss pill. Not meth, just your garden variety fat burner. Metabolic enhancer, whatever.

Clenbuterol

Chris didn't know about her condition before and he didn't even write the joke.  A white female did and went through the producers.  As stated above, Will laughed at initially then the cheating wife gets mad and then mayhem ensues.   Watch a "Roast" on Comedy Central and you'll see the comment was extremely mild.  Everyone so riled up these days.

Yeah I had this convo with my mom actually. Chris said the joke but he wasn't actually behind it. It reminded me of a Roast episode where Hulk Hogan had to insult I THINK Pam Anderson and he actually stopped and said 'come on guys I cant say this'. So maybe Chris should have refused the joke? Who knows, I don't have a dog in this fight at the end of the day.

That bike needs to be on a revolving display in the center of your living room.

Really liking those Martellos. Dare I say I like them even better than a DHF. All the same good stuff, but nicer to lean over.

Yeah I think Vittoria is really making a push to be a market leader. I really like their tires

Whoops, meant Mazzas. 

Martello is a bit of a turd for the weight so far. Never understood designs with side knobs packed  together in a solid row, it makes for a heavy tire for no discernable increase in traction.

I know what you meant lol. These are the trail casing but I'd like to try the Enduro casing. Trail seems a little too lightweight but the tread is fantastic

I had a short pedal and a long hard look at an Arrival the other day. Good lord, I had special feelings. Really special feelings.

I posted mine up on page 5, not sure how to post pics in the thread but I linked my photo album.
