Can anyone comment on what the tariff situation is right now bringing one these into the USA? What about frames? Trying to figure out what the total price is and I feel like it changes everyday.

I think someone who specializes in machined widgets like WheelsMFG could just sell a 3mm spacer with longer bolts as an adapter? May not be enough clearance though at the bb?

Yep. I have never, ever seen the “no e-bikes” rule enforced. I have seen them all over Moab trails (including porcupine/TWE) since they became popular. I suppose people will be more inclined to bring them now, more companies will rent them, and more companies will shuttle them. Overall all though, this just codifies what was already happening.

Love what Sleeper is doing, showed my support and bought a shirt.

It’s possible that since Roger is not normally a factory rider and this is an all new setup for him that he is on stock tunes?

A lot of the riders (Blevins, Koretzky, Richards) are using the longer travel XC bikes, is that because the course has a lot of technical descending?

Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work, you can always hit them with it.

Pivot - cracked a rear triangle. Made me take it to local Pivot dealer, so they could box it up and ship back. Also had to pick it up there after they sent a new rear triangle. Cost me $75 (shipping + bike shop time) + gas money + time. Probably not worth it for the bike shop, I would have rather of dealt directly with Pivot. TRP - leaking caliper at bleed port. Made me take the whole bike to a dealer. Sat there for about a week. Dealer had to re-install new caliper. Did a shite job of bleeding and it still leaked (albeit less). Had to find a different set screw, used teflon tape and re bleed myself. $20 bike shop labor + gas + huge amount of time wasted. Fox - had a new rear shock with no oil (WTF!). Allowed me to send/receive back directly. $10 shipping. ENVE - side swiped a rock and punched a whole in the sidewall (rider error?). Second hand wheelset. Sold me a new rim at like 50% MSRP and they built it up. Only charged me for the rim and shipping to them. Maxxis - tire was wobbly. Sent them a ton of photos and they just sent me a new tire. Most warranties have additional cost and PITA factors. I’d much rather not have to warranty.

Cable tourism on a DH bike? Serenity now.
