Inside Öhlins' Swedish Headquarters - Feb. 19, 2019, 12:07 p.m.

As Pete mentions above, this was more of a focus on the headquarters in Sweden. Perhaps some day the opportunity will arise to check out the facilities and processes in Asia.

The Tenneco purchase was covered in November.

Any I see that fit your description are really old and have been kept in the depths of the wardrobe. Let's get a hunt on for something current so those without can join the party!

Specialized Ambush. Pretty comfy and underrated imo.

Good call! If I had one it would be my preference too. I have a little vest envy when a mate rocks up in one. Haha.

The SWAT system Specialized has developed is incredible. But no other bikes have (or perhaps are even able) to utilize the tech. This gives riders not on a Specialized an option. And it's one of many.

From my review of the Magura post back in 2016 for Vital:

“The delay is a result of the time it takes for the electronics to communicate and the hydraulic clamping mechanism to actuate within the post. During the development process Magura made a version that worked more quickly thanks to the use of magnets, but the force required to release the magnets resulted in unacceptable battery life.”

They claim to have made it faster now but from what I’ve heard through media squid friends, it’s still unnacceptably slow. Not sure why they’re unable to get it to function more promptly.

160mm travel for me. 170 would definitely be a handful on this. Glad to hear you're enjoying it with the 160!

Big move! Glad to help and looking forward to hearing more when you get it.

Exact same boat as you! Tried to make the SKS adapters work, to no avail. Also saw that comment. Hope we see it soon. Quite interested to see what they’ve done.

Just read them again (thinking about it was doing my head in because fundamentally, what you’re saying is right!) and the closest is within 0.2 degrees with a 4mm change to bb height (for the size I would be after). So yes, you fellas are ultimately right. Impossible to change one without the other altering. Wild the amount of flexibility though. Let your imaginations run wild with the tech sheets. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRkmiccQwv7w1-V3bAvyqusOo674t3Z_ETG9TVxvz7lcVN4XWAlPnFashUAIbbMID9bpk8htF2qALLW/pubhtml
