2021 Kona Honzo ESD - Sept. 24, 2020, 9:24 a.m.

I really like short chainstays on my hard-tail (416mm), but I use it for commuting, dirtjumps, and messing around the city, in addition to trail riding. I'm not looking for all out speed on my hard-tail, that's what my squishy bike is for, and it has 450mm chainstays.

Interestingly, the XL reach and seat-tube angle on the ESD is nearly identical to the L reach and seat tube angle on the geometrons.

Nope, it just shows that he needs a longer dropper.

Really? Wow, I'm running 165mm cranks, and it's barely acceptable on tech climbing. The cornering seems great, though.

Yeah, I saw that too. I was wondering if it's a typo.

You Should Try a Friction Thumb Shifter - Sept. 14, 2020, 9:58 a.m.

I was being facetious, but I'm definitely in the other bike mech camp. If I wasn't cheap and impatient, I would pay someone to do all my wrenching. Instead, I do all my own wrenching and get some satisfaction out of it, but can't imagine doing things that are not 100% necessary. :-)

This seems like something that someone with too much spare time would do.

Min-Maxed-Metal: WTB KOM Light & Tough Rims - Sept. 4, 2020, 5:03 p.m.

The only argument that could sway me is that if I keep my bike long enough, it may pay for itself, but it's probably pretty unlikely with cushcore.

Min-Maxed-Metal: WTB KOM Light & Tough Rims - Sept. 4, 2020, noon

I was blowing through a couple of rims a season, and got a new bike that came with carbon rims. I broke the carbon rim after 2-weeks, but it had a super nice hub. I decided to try another carbon rim from WAO. Broke that three weeks later (running 25 psi), and was very happy I'd gotten the brand with the life time warranty, and their response was near instant. Now I'm running cush-core and haven't had any issues. I probably could have stuck with aluminum and cushcore.

First Semenuk video I haven't liked.

I probably wouldn't buy it, because I'm cheap, but I'd love to test ride it. Looks fun.
