SRAM played everyone with the UDH so they can roll our transmissions. Are we sure they’re not spamming everyone with headset cable routing so we all go nuts and buy only flight attendant stuff?

I think the idea of this fork with a bike like the Arrival is a super neat proposition. I have a 170, but most of the trails I ride would be better suited to a 140/130 trail bike. We Are One sells the linkage kits, but if I do that I also need a totally new shock and fork to match it. If I had this and it's adjustable range from 140-170 I could use the same fork for both builds. I could buy this fork, the linkages, and a rear shock and spend $3500 and, essentially, I'd have two dream bikes and I'd only have to store some linkages and shock. Yeah, it's $1500 more than any of the ultimate spec RockShox forks, but for the uniqueness and the fact that I could make it fit multiple "bikes" is pretty rad. Guess I need to start saving up for one.

Finally got to race mine in a local enduro event this weekend and I'm definitely not good enough to do the bike justice. It loves chattery, rocky sections you can run through with plenty of speed. I will say, I've also noticed the issue with the spikes on heavy compressions. At the end of a long race day, I came into a dip and didn't have the strength to push back when the bike compressed on me and ended up taking a handlebar to the chest. All in all, though, it does everything I want and more. Climbs great, descends better than I can ride it, and you're almost guaranteed to be the only one riding this bike if you live in the lower 48. It's an eye catcher for sure!

Can't wait to see what this looks like in finished form. The Arrival is such a sick bike to look at and ride, hope this ends up the same.
