Thanks Pete, that's great clarification for us who love NSMB and the reviews that the team does..esp AJ

I trust AJ (and NSMB) reviews, as they reflect my real world experiences.

Your review of the V1 and V2 Sentinel is exactly my same on bike exp

Thanks again and keep up the great work

Not sure if you mentioned it in the review above- I skimmed

@AJ Barlas: Did you pay for a portion of these products? or were all of them provided as products to review?

At 1/3 the cost of the fork, does it offer 30% better performance?  IE will riders who are under/over forked get the benefits of this? or is this really a racebred product

Is it just me, or does the look of the bike just not jump out at you. Something like Spesh Enduro or Transition Sentinel V2 scream at me..I put this one looks wise in the Ripmo (ugly) Category

Flame suit on

Im in the semi-flat and inboard lever crew.  Helps me in the steeps and forces me to have a strong attack position..only down side is it sucks for neighborhood pedals with the kids

thanks for the reply Andrew...my comment above was more rant about my reverb needing another bleed

Has anyone seen these available for sale? E13 site says sold out since day 1..

I cant stop staring at your oil slick nipples...............

My comment is not about the NF pants, more about buying bike specific wear.  $200 seems like alot of $ to spend on pants that I will only wear on the bike....actually imho all bike specific gear is overpriced

I wish there were more options for low cost/well made/multi-sport clothing

Such a timely review! thanks for posting this

I, like most of the others on the forum are sadden by rubber compound choices, having said that......Im now nowhere nearer to getting a winter setup :)

I think the adage of "You get what you pay for" is true in the world of custom wheels for bikes. Assuming that you have a competent wheel builder, which would you invest your hard earned $ into.

Are you spending it on Hubs? Does that high dollar hub make you a better rider? or does it make you the envy of others?

EG: DT350 vs Chris King/i9

or

Are you more about the rim? Brand Cache or unbranded cache?

EG: DTxm481/ex511 vs RF Arc

For me Im more about spending $ on the rim, as riding out of round wheels/tires makes me want to throw my bike off a cliff.

is there a reason you just can get a 30T DM chainring and run it on your X0 cranks? 

Missing ISCG mounts?

curious if you got them yet? if so, would be cool to get your review on them once you open them up

Ive had the same experience as you D_C_

Likes to ride high in the travel, lots of mid stroke support and requires less air pressure than the older version

At 188 riding weight, was running 89-90 psi and it felt a bit harsh- down to 80 psi now with 2 tokens and feel like this is perfect for summer dusty conditions

Once the rain starts to come, ill likely remove a token and take the air pressure down a few more PSI

Of a side note, none of the factory Norco boys run more than 1 token

If you have coin to spend, get the Bike Yoke Revive.

If you're on a budget, get the OneUp dropper V2.

If you can live with 200mm of drop get the Bike Yoke. It's like a fine swiss watch. Silent and moves really well, user-serviceable - definitely the best post I've ever owned by a huge margin, but max drop is 185. The new Reverb with the updated remote is an improvement over previous versions - bonus for huge range of lengths (up to 200) and sizes (including 34.9). The OneUp is clanky and kind of cheap feeling but it costs less.

Pnw is the answer. Same price as one up, way better action.

215 US dollars with the lever included. Says shipping is free to Canada. Pretty good deal.

Were are you guys seeing these deals on the PNWs?

Which PNW you guys eyeing? Rainier or Bachelor

Did you end up finding it?  

Im debating Motrex 2.5wt vs FOX 5wt

Was just reading this on another tab https://www.bikemag.com/gear/components/drivetrain/a-mismatch-made-in-heaven-xtr-axs/

So, same brand chain & cassette and it looks like chainring. Same brand derailleur & shifter.

Pretty thorough article on the subject which I like- Thanks Hep

This video shows that in a pinch you could throw on a shimano derailleur with nothing more than throwing it on

ahaha- Apparently by the lack of responses..Im crazy

With the recent release of the wallet friendly Deore 12 speed drivetrain, got me thinking who has experience in running a franken setup...as in does it actually work?

What chain do you run? what shifter?

Example of the Franken setup

Sram Eagle Cassette, Sram Cranks, Shimano derailleur(XT, SLX..Deore)?

or

Shimano Cassette, Sram cranks(?). Shimano or Sram derailleur)?
