What can I say...I'm a simple man, I see Semenuks name...I click

@Svinyard: this is a good point, though I thought it was a great idea during the efficiency test to throw in a hardtail as a bit of a control. All of the FS bikes are ran wide open, so comparing a hardtail to non locked out fs bike seems like a good control option. Though getting in a few bikes from previous years to get an idea of what the updated geometry numbers amount to in the real world is a good idea!

Since im about to get the epic evo, im gonna go ahead and say yay for bro science, totally accurate. 10 of 10 would not question again. Oh whats that? If I get the comp version that makes it completely moot? Boooo...oh hey...grim donut...dope.

@abzillah: Wow thats all it takes for downvotes these days? You mention you have 2 bikes? Ridiculous...its actually important information as you pointed out different frames have different lengths, based on Seat tube length. Hence why different sizes come with different lengths, obviously 200 is not typical for a size small in any frame but if it works it works.

Wow...what a cesspool pinkbike is. This was an innocuous article about Sam Hills responsible decision to not travel right now...Ya'll are trash..and I agree with some of what half of you are saying. Stop acting like because you agree with the virus fear that science supports it...thats the thing with science is there is often differing opinions that are initaially/potentially equally valid, what matters is peer review and the scientific method. Not even peer review so much as the majority of peer reviews are not done double blind and are subject to potential bias...but its still one of the best solutions we got...ill probably get down voted because people think I'm some right wing moron...nah I'm strictly libertarian with an emphasis on self protection( I also literally have not gone anywhere but work, ride, groceries, and reno project trips since march and I was wearing a mask in home depot getting strange looks a month before everyone had to be wearing a mask or youre a terrible person)...i don't agree with the way that they present their arguments but fucking hell...the way some of you argue back as if your opinion is right because it is and you can just say science, when you don't even understand the science. I literally read through the fucking abstract of a random scientific paper someone posted that said was one of many that proved masks efficacy...it literally said one side thing about asymptomatic people and masks...it also said asymptomatic people were unlikely to spread the virus( this was a 2011 paper on a Taiwanese outbreak of a non-novel Sars-Cov virus, not saying asymptomatic people don't spread this virus just to clarify), but according to the left cancel that shit right? Cause it doesn't wholly fit your narrative?..so why is some leftist moron posting it when the they dont comprehend it? Because honestly all of us are sheep...right, left...it doesn't fucking matter who lives who dies and you're kidding yourself if you think its any other way...why the fuck do you all politicize this shit when it shouldnt be? Its a morality issue. Also this is gonna be my most negged comment for sure...fuck you pink bike I wanna read about bikes not get triggered by idiots...also sorry for the poor grammar and punctuation, im on my phone and getting bored of this novel...

"So you were out for a bike with the boys the other dayyy"

This one of the most annoying things about mountain biking to me...the politics, bureaucracy, and drama...I have lived for extreme sports my whole life...extreme sports dont discriminate or support anyone...its you against the mountain and all this drama is stupid...if you ride, I'll ride with you, if you are pushing yourself ill respect you...male or female...keep your office bullshit where it belongs...oh and being in a stem industry myself...I hear all the time extreme sports are dangerous and I should stop so...its just a risk adverse industry...quit defining everyone and everything by your narrative and agenda...its disingenuous... The trouble here is that people dont realize extreme sports people are just misfits, in general our mindset is of the minority...embrace it or gtfo...the mountain doesn't care about your feelings...I mean I'm glad my daughter will have role models...but I dont want this to be the narrative she subscribes to...no one gives you anything, least of all nature...and if you care what people think, you are doing this for the wrong reason...Do I respect these women for their accomplishments? Sure... I wholly believe in a meritocracy, but quit with the all the extra bullshit, you lose a lot of credibility in my mind...of course no one cares about my mind lol, I'm just shouting into the void...

What I'm driving at is the next mtb revolution...im calling it....the frindle stem...
