I can also highly recommend these.. also the POC VPD System Knees are another great "not there" option...

Yes.  I would expect the Fuel, Remedy and Slash 9.8 to get this wheel treatment for 2021.

I've had a personal tour of the Bontrager carbon wheel building centre at Trek HQ in Madison Wisconsin.   There are a number of custom built wheel lacing machines doing the brunt of the setup work and then a final lacing/inspection by a master wheel builder.   Its uber impressive.   Our shop manager is currently running a set of the previous gen Line Pros and they have held up better than most carbon rims I have seen from Reynolds, Enve, etc... if the new claims are true then this wheelset is the best value proposition on the market.

These are my new go to pedals... massive grip and support... love em...

I have the DBX 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 gloves in various colourways.. I think 7 pairs in all. Yes, I have a glove problem. The only gloves I wear these days. I also have the DBX 3.0 All-Mountain and the DB 4.0 Full face helmets which I love...And the 3DF 5.0 knee guards.   Also rocking some DBX 4.0 pants and the DBX 4.0 jacket for cooler wetter rides. Probably something else which I am missing but you get the point. Its a blessing and a curse that NRG is a stones throw from my house and bike shop!! Ha ha...

P.S.   I have not tried the shoes... I have held them in my hand and they look good... however, it will be a cold day in hell when my FiveTen shoes are pried off my feet..   regardless of anyone's complaints about durability they are still the best IMO...

Genuinely impressed with everything Leatt makes... they are a staple for gear in my kit closet....

Over-forking is near and dear to me... can't remember a bike in recent memory that I didn't experiment with over-forking?    It definitely works for me in the Kootenays!!

RF Nano jacket for me.  It's just right for those I wish I packed another layer moments.

Currently experimenting with semi-flat lever placement... so far so good.    I get what you are saying Cam about flat levers seeming counter intuitive... but there's something to it when the terrain gets really steep....

Hey Cam... the Bell Super DH preceeded this helmet with MIPS spherical technology.   Only mentioning as its half-shell compatible.... and looks decent.

Nice ride!! I turn 52 in a couple of weeks. Still shredding with youngsters one third to half my age and keeping up for the most part... you are never too old...

Any shop with a Raceface/Fox account can order it in... it is in stock.   Or yeah, Suspensionwerx....

Are you using Cushcore?   I've seen multiple Aggressors develop wobbles after Cushcore installation due to stretching of the bead for want of a better term.    I have run multiple Aggressors in the past year without issue, one with Cushcore.

2020 Pivot Firebird 29 with a few custom touches.

Will do.. the caveat is that I am running them with 2.5" tires on a 35mm rim... not ideal according to their recommendations.   But after installation and a bit of unscientific goofing about they feel good... will report back after I get some legit ride time.

I'm trying the XC 29 versions on a new build. I am a bigger guy but surprisingly easy on rims and tires. Looking at a bit of extra sidewall support and bead security as the biggest benefits.

Great question... I think for a similar tire diameter in 29 the volume per contact patch area doesn't change much... not sure I worded that properly?   I would run similar pressures, maybe a touch lower on  the 29s...

If that is the result of "professional" work then I suggest you find a new shop.    Unacceptable...

I have a MRP axle on my Slash... does the job.

We are a stocking dealer of WAO wheels... we have a few sets out on the trails being abused.   I have seen one damaged rim from a really bad case, which would have ended poorly on any rim.    Replaced quickly by WAO under their warranty.    These guys are solid and stand behind their product.
