Oh man what about the stuff coming down the pipe? Flat mount mountain, boost road, boost 141 already is circulated. When is ohlins and suntour going to repeat history and have 1.8-1.25 steerers. 

I haven't had too much of a problem in my history of bikes with "standards". But the day none of my parts fit on a new bike; I'm growing out my beard, slapping a rigid fork on my '14 Chromag and giving up on keeping up.

Oh and hopes now no longer produced 17x130 rear hub spacing and the direct mount brakes they had on the hb160. The list goes on..

I believe the internal design is significantly different. With the dpx2 being a twin tube shock and the float x being a monotube shock. So you shouldn't run into exactly the same problems vorsprung is talking about. But then again I know there's someone out there that's more of authority on the matter.

Solid article; while I've never said no to beer I often found myself running out to grab a cinnamon bun or craft soda to include the dry guys in post work festivities. 

With that said; a handwritten card always made even the most bitter mechanics day. While they may not say much about it at the time you'll find it a few years later in their garage.

So I haven't really been in love with trunnion mount shock bearings either. Seeing enduro release those XD-15 bearings with a lifetime warranty maybe those are worth the cost in that spot if they hold up.

I want to know; did he get his bike? Spesh cancelled a huge percentage of bikes that were already on order. My stumpy got cancelled after months.

Wera makes a nifty metric tap set that interfaces with that quick chuck on their screwdriver. It'd be a shame not to get it at this point!

Gold spray paint and .32 safety wire holds Swayzes on the big bike, renthals on the small bike and wax's on the dj. I do however have a small hate for non-split clamp components..

Hey Cam, solid writeup but I'm hung up trying to figure out what tire is on the back of your bike in that video. Could you help me out?

Yep; sign me up. Toss a "steel is real" or "Truelove fan club" and I'll get a hat too. Just make sure Mike gets hooked up. My samurai has been relentlessly fun and recklessly complimented.

Alright so I gotta say, after a full bleed and bedding them in these brakes are ludicrous. It will take a legitimate readjustment period. Coming off rsc's and ridden saints these are a whole other class. 

There have been quite a few skeptics at the shop, myself included but actually riding them is eye opening. For the evos if the lack of contact point adjustment or not being able to get a replacement rotor at a destination shop it may be hayes despite the support.

It may come down to weight of rider, those 2.3mm are gonna manage the heat of my captain America looking colleague. Who cooks 200mm sram rotors; he will appreciate that 220 2.3 front. Those of us that more closely resemble E.T. may appreciate the lighter lever feel and not miss that extra mass in the rotor. 

Itll be a while till we get them on trail but this is what we've got so far.
