Im sure the pricing is outrageous, but I noticed Gore just released some new gore tex pro fabrics, where one of the 3 options was actually elastic (20% I think). Given their track record for waterproofness I’m optimistic.

It would be lovely if someone could make some high performance riding trousers that are actually waterproof. The only days I want to have trousers is when it’s so wet you’ve got salmon climbing the trails, but as far as I can see no one actually makes that (Where you at 7 mesh?).

I’m kinda surprised that you don’t appreciate the sideways adjustability of the callipers. Seems like a pretty nice functionality to me that would save some time when setting up.

Haha, I doubt an additional hour of gloom in the afternoon is going to make the metal go away.

God I wish we could do the same in Norway! I hate wintertime with all my heart.

I fully agree. I really think this is an area where the “premium brands” should step up and deliver.

Although, will you ever get a bike to “feel the same” across the sizes? Even though it is proportionally the same, it IS going to be a longer bike, which has different properties from a shorter bike no matter how you twist it. I have no idea if a shorter rider perceives the small sized bike similar to a taller riders perception of a long bike (if the frame ratios are similar).

I have a 29” DHF EXO MG on my bike. It exists. Not exo+ though as far as I know.

My carbon Ripmo has a little hole as well under the BB.

I think preventing water ingress is a big pro for having tubes in tubes internal cable routing. Won’t stop it all of course, but certainly better than having port based internal cable routing.

Hm, the SLX comes across as a pretty decent deal. I think like it, the name is epic.

First Rides: 2020 Specialized Enduro - Aug. 13, 2019, 10:04 a.m.

Is it just me, or are all the new releases pretty hideous? I guess the previous Enduro was not exactly a looker either, but the slayer used to be one of the hotter bikes out there.

Don’t get me wrong, I like utilitarian bikes, but I also like my carbon sculptures to have a certain lust-factor as well.
