Forget Dropper Posts, Black Math Bike Created a Dropper Frame
I'm tired of the G91 changes in the bike industry that just seems to G04 in the past. This is G90(ly) what we need.
Maybe those of you who are so closed minded about this need some G43.
Good luck Black Math, I'd G73 it.

Mike Levy's Last Podcast
I think he's going to pull a Tom Delonge and leave the band for a bit, search for aliens, I have a couple side projects, then come back after a bunch of years for more good times.

Review: Supersapiens Constant Glucose Monitor
Hey all you Type 1 diabetics out there. What are you doing to fuel for longer (4+ hour) big effort/ elevation rides with people who are in shape? On days I know I'm doing a big ride in the morning, I will skip taking my insulin, eat a meal on the way to my ride (maybe eggs, cheese, whole wheat toast, and some meat), then eat during the ride going from slightly more complex carbs too simple carbs (Clif bar - fruit- shot block - gu) all the while having Gatorade (and obviously water). I really struggle to keep my blood sugar up at the end of my rides all while constantly eating/drinking. I miss the days of my legs or lungs ending my rides, not just being drained from low blood sugar. Oh, and oatmeal/porridge causes my blood sugar to fall off a cliff like Wile E. Coyote within 2 hrs.

Pinkbike Podcast Episode 56: What Are the Most Important Inventions in Mountain Biking?
Maybe it's my BMX background, but a dropper is the one thing I'll never give up. I think it is one of the main reasons geometry lagged so far behind. If you were going on a long ride, you had your seat jacked all the way up and had to figure out how to bunny hop, manual, wheelie drop, etc with your seat directly in the way of everything. The shorter wheelbases were almost necessary to make a bike feel playful since you couldn't lower your hips unless you were way behind the seat.

Ask Pinkbike: Tire Casing Choices, DH Bike Wheel Swaps, Knee Pads Picks, & Clipless Tips
I used to have "tight" carbon rims. At the time ran high roller II exo's front and tomahawk DD rear's and the DD fit way tighter and were harder to mount. I did get a slight wobble once from mounting the DD, never with the exo. I've also ripped the casing (wobble) on the DD' s plenty by just landing poorly off jumps/drops. Short answer, No. Most newer rims have lower sidewalls and are much easier to mount tires, that would be a nice expensive fix to your problem.
