@Mtn-Goat-13: I mean, there was a 55-56 day gap at the beginning of the 22 season, with no World Champs to fill the gap…

World Cup Burning Question: Why AREN'T You Running a High Pivot?
@DylanH93: Yeh you’re absolutely right and if I was riding bike park all day I’d have been more inclined to keep it. All day pedalling on it didn’t appeal! It did take some getting used to it lengthening for me, especially when jumping. I went through 3 linkages to stop the creaking. Idler cogs and bearings often, chainstay protectors (chain wears through it in highest gear), crush zone damage and the front shock mount bolt was too long from factory and pierced the carbon at specced torque amoung other issues…

World Cup Burning Question: Why AREN'T You Running a High Pivot?
@hamncheez: I didn't, lasted less than 12 months. Most problematic bike I've ever owned. The benefits didn't outweigh the problems.

Tested: How Much Slower Are Idler Bikes For Climbing?
Just sold my Druid. The drag is noticeable, but not a deal breaker. I tired it without the lower guide and it was better, however the lack of chain wrap caused excessive noise from the main chain ring, it annoyed me so I reinstalled it. Mainly you feel the drag because you hear it! And it gets significantly louder as condition worsens. The idler bear is under load, and doesn’t last well. Having to use extra links is a pain and there are quirks with setting up shifting. I have no doubt that if I was mainly descending, I’d be keeping it, but as a do everything bike in my location, I’m going back to a conventional setup.

Spotted: SRAM is Testing Something (But It's Probably Not a Dual Caliper Brake)
Boxxers and DT wheels would also suggest otherwise…
