Endur-Bro profile

G16 is running XTR shifter, XT mech, SunRace 11-46, KML gold chain, Canfield Bros crankset w/BS ring.

Cleaning out a valve is key.  I put a drop of Tri-Flow into the valve stem before I inflate my tubeless setup in the hope that it lessens goop buildup at the valve.

Yeah no idea.  DH38 can be had @180mm travel and 46mm offset.  Many BOOST15 hubs can be converted to 20mm via end caps. Even then one should be able to swap the DH38 20mm lowers for the 38SC 15mm lowers.

IMO the coolest part of the whole article is the whole Vlad PB article turning into him working at WAO.

Interesting that this front triangle will be the basis for two other bikes as well.  Be cool to offer XL rear end on L front end haha.

Really need to stop reading reviews of bikes.  Hahaha

Do you use the Lok switch on the Storia? I continue to wonder if the Arma would be a better shock for this bike? This as a person who has G16 @175 with X2 without a climbing switch and hasn't used a switch in well almost ever. 

I find my G16 a little stretched out whilst doing seated pedalling. The G1 steeper STA should help with that, also more BB drop would put myself lower into the bike. Which should also help with the amount of spacers I have under the stem to get bar height up.

Good to hear a Selva review is coming.  I'm highly interested in the upcoming Selva MK2 single crown and dual crown models.

Selva 29 extended is available in 170mm now.

The HP+I is gaining a lot of interest as a 1 Gravity bike to rule them all: pedal up to gnar/Shuttle/Park/Race etc.  Especially w/ Dreadnaught ability to run dual crown and mullet w/Ziggy Link. Range w/DC ability.  Kavenz mullet.  The G1 is the same design philosophy(just doesn't fit a bidon in the triangle🙄): two rear travel settings w/2 different spring weights, unlimited fork configurations, wheel size whatever, run a larger shock, do what you want with the RC length. 

Are these bikes better than their standard chain routed bikes; IDK. Sounds like DrewM knows a few people that flogged their Druids months after getting them. 

IMO WW fascination has hampered mtn bike progress.  Top 3 questions I'm asked about my G16 are always in no order: How much does your bike weigh? How much does it cost? Is this carb0n?  I've never weighed any of my bikes but I'd guess that my G16 29 is pretty close in weight to my V10C 26. 

We're at the point where people are equipping their Trail bikes w/4pot brakes,36/Lyrik/Helm/Coil-Overs or HV Air shocks/Enforced tyres etc. Myself included haha.

1. Remove chain at top of run.

2. Affix hose chunk between ND side crank arm and bb bearing.

3. Enjoy chainless with less crank freedom whilst saving 100s of dollars and grams.

:p

You likely have a longer inseam than I do then. My Longer (M) G16 I had to shorten my 9.8 FallLine 175 dropper. It was a hair too much at full extension. And the dropper collar was slammed to the post. 

Anyway. Let’s get you all sciencey and swap the forks on this and the G1. A ride comparison for science.

Bump***

Where are people in Canada (besides Fort Nine) sourcing their moto trials parts online from? After a Michelin rear tyre, Renthal grips and maybe some fluids

There's only 1.34 million vacant homes in Canada.  Maybe we can get a "2MilX2025" campaign going or something?  So long as we continue the path of global wealth being stored in Canada it should be an easy task.

It's transitionary bro.

So what do you suggest? Since you clearly can observe how terrible all of these dirty scheming lazy homeowners are, who don't work for a living and just live from tax loophole to tax loophole, screwing over the working class, from your elevated perch of socioeconomic superiority? 

In case the sarcasm is lost here, I think I speak for a lot of homeowners who own homes simply because they worked hard, set goals, and made sacrifices for something they felt was worthwhile long-term, when I say its annoying when people classify us as some type of silver-spoon/lottery winner/had everything handed to them/got in early /speculator/ tax evader or whatever in an attempt to discredit the notion that some people just figure it out however they can. Either do it or don't but whining won't solve it.

Well it's important to continue to do nothing.  Look how well it's worked so far. 

I mean Taleeb was elected in Van-Granville so...

Anyway; "Global city! Serfdom! etc"

Weren't those Syncros pedals available in a Ti body? 

Also Brooklyn Machine Works ShinBurgers FTW!

LOL both houses have approx same listing price.  One has ~2x Property tax bill.  One city has industry besides Realtors, developers and speculators flipping houses to each other. 

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1912-38th-Ave-E-Seattle-WA-98112/2112783023_zpid/ Property Taxes = $19,000+

https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/23757965/4388-w-11th-avenue-vancouver Property Taxes = $10,500 

Assessed value of Vangroovy house https://www.bcassessment.ca//Property/Info/RDAwMDBCQVpLNg== "Why work when my house gains $180k annually; tax free!" Every investor knows that $2mil for a 33'x122' lot is a good value. 

"vAnCoUvEr Is A gLoBaL cItY" Heres a $3mil listing in suburb of STL Missouri with 2x Property Tax as above mentioned VanRE house. Again; hodling costs of Canadian Real Estate is comically low. Don't like that example heres another one .  Go to Butt-Fuck Alabama for ~$3.5mil for $7500 property taxes.

Also; you're neighbours in North Van/Squampton with new wonder-fibre über-Enduro rig and special series Euro Lux brand vehicle likely bought it on credit.

Heads should roll when people who earn income through labour learn how much of what they pay in Income Tax goes towards subsidizing Millionaire Home Owners in Vancouver and Greater Toronto Area.   Canada is about growing non-productive assets by any means possible (See former MP Adam Vaughan for reference) whilst taxing labour is one of the most regressive things we can do. Unfortunately we've spent decades electing the same two parties over and over to do just that.  Luckily The Boomers who've benefited the most from such tax policy will have largely died off and not have to deal with the outcome. The rest of us will face massive shortages in skilled workers country wide. 

Property Transfer Tax is there to keep Annual Property Tax rates low.  Again certain demographic benefit from this much more than anyone else.  Also the no capital gains on primary residence benefits that same group of peoples.  And it's not difficult to game the system.  People say housing is an investment yet is sure isn't taxed as such.  Why are my meme stocks, NFTs and shit coins taxed as investment income; yet a person that gains $2mil in a decade thru housing is tax free on it?

Anyway, if you believe you're a Real Estate investing guru and not another victim of shitty government policy welp thats on you.

I'm getting over the endless traffic jams/commutes to and from almost everywhere.

In a perfect world I'd have a Nero R airspring and damper w/ Selva DC crowns and either 15/20 lowers. Or I'll get an Ohlins DH38 w/46mm crowns...

Tell me about it. Just had a wheel relaced with Aerolites...

Truly the best flat pedal is a Fleshlight. You'll be stuck to it like no tomorrow.
