Whoever decided to change the logo to SHRED needs to be fired from a big cannon.

Go the other way? Pick yourself up a less capable bike, and ride that on rides with your girl. 

I've done this quite a bit, worked out really well.

This is the greatest idea in the history of mtb.

9, taping rocks. ★★★★★

Wow, stoked to see the "One Dolla" guy from Hawaii in Matt's Murrica video! I wonder how they connected?

For as many years as I've been riding I've irrationally lusted after what ever model of bike Wade Simmons is on…and here we go again. The smoothness just goes right into my brain!

Think of how much a workout one could get if they left their e-bike in “OFF” mode! 🤔

Is NBR the best source of information on atmospheric science?

Imagine just how lost you could get if instead of gathering evidence from proof based measurable repeatable experimentation by experts in their field you picked and chose anecdoctal evidence from yahoos on forums.

Nice scoop, u lucky bastard!! Thomas Motherfuckin' Vanderham's ride.

After borrowing Wade Simmons bike for a spin 20 years ago I think I blurted out the experience to everyone I met for the next decade.

Been following this thread closely, I've got an under power only creak emanating from my I9 rear hub/cassette area that's driving me bananas.

Going down to the garage right now with bad intentions.

Figured out my creak. It was the cassette, not how it was mounted or lack of grease or anything else, it was the cassette itself. Maybe rivots coming loose? Who knows.

Swapped my fair condition X1 cassette for my friends beat to shit X1 cassette and noise vanished.

What about upgrading your calipers to something 4-piston and using your current levers?

In Germany, a somewhat popular setup are Shimano Levers + Olive combined with Magura inserts/hoses/calipers. MT5 calipers are pretty cheap too. That's super hacky though.

This is intriguing. Hacky how?

Formula? Cheap & reportedly good performance.

Those with Magura how's the caliper rub and ease of a perfect bleed these days? I loved my old Maguras but I'm really appreciating Shimano's rub free rotors and 5 minute bleeds. Somewhat inconsistent levers being the trade-off.

Seems every brake has some little niggle.

Mineral oil sure is more pleasant to deal with than DOT.

Jordan Binnington is Neo.

The opposite of Neo, no? :D

Yeah talk about your ups and downs eh. Benched in game 3, ouch. But at the end when it was all on the line there he was plucking mutherfuckin bullets out of midflight. Boston outshot St. Louis 12-4 in the first period. Jordan stopped 32 shots by the end.

Watching his and Tuukka's moments of superhuman goal tending was the highlight of the series for me for sure.

Jordan Binnington is Neo.

I just got mine back but have only had 1 ride on it. So far, I would say that for tech climbing it is more supportive but also more compliant. Downhill I don't have sorted yet, it  doesn't feel quite as good as before on medium hits and drops, like on espresso and john deer. Could be the compression tune is not what's best for me or just I need to spend more time tweaking pressure, compression lever and rebound. I'm using the same air pressure and zero tokens like before. They gave me a V7 rebound and compression tune.

Could you give us an update on the shock if things get more sorted? 🍻

A solid pedal platform is right up there in priority with all out downhill performance for me.
