Had it easy setting up the online form...then went to make dinner. Meanwhile, the Lad filled it all in for M'lady and myself...then submitted it without asking either of us to check it. No idea how truthful any of it actually was...

You have a household income of $7m, you’re Latvian orthodox, and do 80h of household chores per week.

Well, I have 9 bikes under the house, so if I adjust for what I could have if I were to sell my bike assets, 7m might be an understatement.
Bike maintenance also counts as a household chore, even though I enjoy it, so 80hrs is reasonable there too.

As for Latvian Orthodox... pretty sure they worship bikes right?

How does that compare with the Gregorian era SLX?

 

[Dales Cannon]

I get the point of high pivot in relation to the changes in wheelbase during suspension travel and that it is likely a better arrangement but is it really an issue?

For an "all-mountain" or descending-focused bike I look at it from a "If you can have it - why not?" point of view. An idler gear, bearing bolt and threaded lug in the frame can't be too much extra cost for the manufacturers to bear when (carbon) frames are already retailing for ~$6,000 AUD these days, and if it it makes the suspension works 2% better and helps preserve weight balance during compressions heck yeah I want it.

Would I want it for an XC bike or trail bike? Nah, why bother with the extra moving bits/weight/maintenance...

Not a jot compared to the SRAMish Inquisition.
