A Deeper Look At The Latest Trinity MTB Gravity Project
It's really cool seeing the Archer electronic shifter tucked in there. Their shifter is fantastic, and doesn't get enough love.

@gabrielbps: Having the extra power is handy when sprinting for a jump or feature, or if there's a particularly flat/long runout for a trail.

@chaoscacca: Just because you can ride through it and achieve a good result doesn't mean it isn't objectively a bad suspension setup. He might have gotten second instead of third had the suspension been setup competently.

@pmhobson: You don't need to know the starting conditions for "low-speed compression were set to nearly wide open, while the high-speed compression was almost fully closed".
No LSC will cause wallowing and won't provide support, while closed HSC will spike on big hits.

That suspension setup is going to wallow, lack any rider support, and spike badly on big hits.
