Review: The 2020 Santa Cruz Hightower Gets a New Look & More Travel
I think SC puts enough engineering in there bikes that there will be a reason for that chip, one reason being putting on 27.5+ wheels. That being said, I prefer NO flip chip, its less complicated. Thats why I bought a Yeti.

Pinkbike Poll: What Would You Upgrade On Your Current Mountain Bike?
IMHO, this is all driven by mountain bike media, new wheels “Carbon is way better...alloy is way better”, “these brakes are powerless they need to be upgraded”, “longer lower slacker”, all these things make us THINK we need or sometimes THINK we want some of these “upgrades”.
Whatever happened to personal opinion? What ever happened to just plain disagreeing with people. What if you didn’t like a longer lower slacker bike and actually prefered older geometry? Could that even happen?!?!?!

Video: Testing 27.5 vs 29er with Ben Cathro
Putting the science aside (because we all know that the math says 29 IS faster). What if the main reason you put down better times on the 29 was purely mental? You mentioned in the video that you FELT slower therefore you could push harder. Combine this with the knowledge that you have better traction (due to the larger contact patch of the 29 whell) and you have a recipe that your brain just naturally allows you to push harder. I like to see somebody do a study from this angle.

10 Pro Bikes From the NZ Enduro
Bike set up question: i have noticed that a lot of pro EWS riders run their stems slammed. I have found that when I do that my bars feel to far below or under me. Is the decision to run your stem slammed purely a performace thing as a lot of brands have lower stack heights or is it a comfort thing? Maybe a combo? Can anybody who actually has experience innthis area comment?
