First Ride: Scott Voltage - The Electric Genius
Lmao at Scott specing a TQ engine on a 160/150mm bike. Only a few weeks ago we had a TQ training course and ze engineer said to us that their engine was not design with long travel mountain bike in mind lmao.

First Ride: Scott Voltage - The Electric Genius
@TommyNunchuck: No matter the distributor, Scott is one of the worst brand to deal with. On 3 continents and in 5 different countries it was and still is a nightmare. Margins aren't that great and the after sales would make a good horror movie. Don't get me started on their mickey mouse's cable routing. Better give them the fingers guys by not buying their bikes than waiting for them to turn you out for a warranty claim for whatever reason. The worst of the worst at that price tag !

First Look: DT Swiss 1500 Classic Downhill Wheelset
@trailinbobcat: I'm with you regarding the nipple wrench. Any wrench grabbing the nipple on 4 faces will help. I do have a preference for the Spokey or the DT Swiss. If done right alloy nipples are no evil. It only requires a proper wrench, sapim made nipples, sapim inner washers and some spoke prep or linseed oil. I rarely build wheels with brass nipples those days. But if you're an absolute unit and or a destroyer, I'll go brass with some 350s hybrid, halo T2 36H, 4 cross pattern, and Sapim Strong spokes.

First Look: DT Swiss 1500 Classic Downhill Wheelset
@dlxah: Sapim enters the chat lmao. DT alloy nipples are simply too soft unlike their Sapim counterpart. No matter how hard I try to play it soft with DT nipple, they still mangle from time to time even though I use linseed oil or heat gun. Sapim secure lock all day everyday.

Shimano Release New Generation of Cross-Compatible Hubs
A pair of DT 350 hybrid. In terms of free hub compatibility DT hubs are second to none. The Hybrid line is bombproof and they still have a 36H option. I've laced a pair last week around some Halo T2 rims for a customer of mine, an absolute 300lb destroyer. I've weighted the wheelset at 6.6lb lmao : Sapim strong j-bend, 4 cross lacing, 350 Hybrid IS, Halo T2.

First Look: 2023 Scott Genius & Genius ST
@preston67: In Europe where lbs deal with Scott directly, they do offer a crash replacement. When it comes to the frame, if you brake the rear triangle and it's your fault, they will offer between 20 and 30% off. All your dealer had to do was to fill a form on the b2b or send them an email.

@hi-dr-nick: I wonder if the downvotes come from Scott employees or tools that never wrench for a living on Scott haha.

@bok-CZ: Don't worry about o-rings, worry about the creaks and screams the frame will make from its poor line assembly haha.
