Click bait. 

I came here looking for an article on actual tools. Like new quick links pliers, or the best circlip pliers for rebuilding my fork form a brand I've never heard of. Damn click bait ;)

Very true.

That tube and pump under the tt  should land you on the Team Robot kill list. Just no.

Cool in on the double. Stoked that people are pumped for the Fivers. 

Cut lines suck, really wish we could get it across to people that they just shouldn't be taking cut lines.

Roadie version.

Neither as mtb specific as the Hammer.

Fresh NEW Product article...53 comments.

Support your local trail org so that you actually have trails to ride...3 comments (well 4 now I added this one). 

Hopefully the article has inspired people to donate.

Wide mouth opening water bladder. 1/3rd water, 1/3rd ice, and a can of beer*. 

Cold beer AND cold water at the top of the mountain. No extra weight of a coaster being dragged around. 

*give the beer can a wash before putting it into the bladder with your drinking water.

You no like cold beer at the top of the climb? I find that helps delay the desire for cold beer post ride.

Once a month haul a stash of beer up to a nice cold creek high up on Fromme. Then you'll have a nice cold beer waiting for you at the top of the climb each time you head up the mountain. Consider the "haul ride" a special training ride for a double bonus.

Some suggested Fromme parking spots. 

If you are climbing via No Quarter try parking just a touch lower down at Princess Park. Has a supplied parking lot and washrooms. 

If planning to climb up Mtn Hwy park at the Legion in Lynn Valley. Well first become a Legion member, then park there and finish you ride there with a nice cold beer.

the greatest failed oil state the world has ever seen.

Alberta? You sending them to Alberta?

I've got some 11 degree Salsa bars in a 750mm width I think that you can have.

If the Instinct handles Remy shredding it on the EWS it will be just fine with an angleset and anyone posting on here.

I would have suggested other bikes from other manufacturers but he has a desire for a Rocky.

I didn't look that close at the differences between the two. Offset bushings to bring the bb down on the BC? The angleset would bring it down a touch.

None of the above. 

Buy a Instinct BC and sell the E29. 

Get a L instead of the M and still put an angleset in it to bring it to 64.9 and give it some more wheelbase. For XC find the lightest possible wheels you think you can run.

Don't buy something form 2014, it's way out dated already. 

Keep looking for a Process 111 or a Norco Optic alloy. Skimp on Rootbeer to up the budget to get into something current that wasn't designed with geo from prehistoric times.

None on that list. 

Keep hunting for a deal on a Process 111.

It will be a PEEK or PEKK based thermoplastic resin. I'd bet maybe the stuff in this article. https://www.compositesworld.com/articles/peek-or-pekk-in-future-tpc-aerostructures

As for the robot I think they're doing a narrow tape robotic arm. In a traditional layup you would have sheets of pre-preg that then get cut into the hundreds of small flat forms on a lazer table. These flat pieces are then all hand laid into the mold per the schedule. With the narrow tape the robotic arm would be laying out hundreds of strips in to get to the final schedule. They then might trim the perimeter of the schedule before moving that into the mold. Google Automated Fiber Placement and you get an idea of the tape heads on the end of the robot arms.

it's a good looking bike. i hate the shock placement and name though.

Seriously, that shock placement. Aesthetically it bugs me. Also not a fan of the branding/names/heavy metal image. But congrats to them thinking outside the box on going carbon.

I've been gone for some time and I'm pretty damn sad about what you all have allowed the shore to become. I just had a conversation today with another old guy about how lucky we were to be part of the good old days....

Get bent.
