They make nice mufflers though. Allegedly.

Only the ones made in Japan. The ones made in the US/China seem to use materials half as thick.

Ironic, given that Americans are twice as thick.

Yes. As the article says, spacers under stem looks ugly. Their setup is much prettier.

Oh for the simplicity of the old days...when I was riding my Schwinn Stigray, age 8-14 years, I never knew you could do anything to a bike besides ride it, thrash it, trash it (and yourself) and maybe replace the occasional tire. I never thought the future would be so complicated.

It doesn’t have to be….but marketers have taken over the sport.

Well if you can't buy a house anymore you may as well spend your money on a very nice set of cranks.

Expect eewing prices. Even regular CNC alloy Actofive chainrings are ~$200.

No, it will work with the pre exist trails shifters and can be used on whatever bike

Is it the black box version?

Even with all the extra knobs it will still be a step back from the Vivid, which shares the basic architecture of the X2, Double Barrel, TTX.

A Crank Brothers seat post with a carbon mast. What could possibly go wrong?

Very interesting material choice for a sliding interface. Doesn’t seem all that light either, does it? Plus, crapbrothers.

Dunno, was in one of the Sea Otter "pit bits" on Vital. Looks like an updated SuperDeluxe at a guess.

Out of my price range but finally someone doing adjustable positive and negative air springs. MRP showed a prototype but they have gone quiet. Looking forward to more details and reviews. Shame the dials look like hanging balls.
