AJ puts in 6000 hours a week trail building? That's literally 16.5 hours per day with no days off.

First Ride: Specialized’s New DH Bike Has a Wild Drivetrain & a Lot to Prove
@uphillsg: I haven't, If it doesn't say Chris King on it, I don't bother. That said Loic has run 240s for a while. They're lighter and have a higher quality finish. Engagement/Failure rate is purely determined by which engagement rings you have in there and they're swappable assuming its the proper version.

Thing has DT 350 Hubs. Sad to see Specialized dumbing this build down for the poors.

Review: The New Transition Spur is Lightly Revised and Still Just as Fun
Transition has great geo/kinematics, but general finish on quality is much lower than Spec/Santa Cruz/etc. Pricing should reflect that and it typically does on sales and in resale markets.

Propain Launches Tyee Trail: 145mm Travel for 'Everyday Riding'
The Propain customization option is awesome, but the downside is delivery can be delayed as they wait for one part. I think this is a fair tradeoff, but one people should know before purchasing from them. Like many DTC brands, deliveries can be extended (which is fair as it reduces cost to store/hold bikes), but buyers should be aware of it when going through them. I purchased a bike through them recently and it was delivered about 2 months later than estimated. That said, propains customer service was always responsive and gave good updates on the delays and what was going on. Would 100% buy from them again, but might not be the move if you want it for a trip in a month.
