Why Shorter Cranks Are Better (According To Science)
@notai: Absolutely, but changing your crank arm length doesn’t change center of mass. That has to do with bb height

Bike Check: Adam Brayton's Nukeproof Dissent 297 - Red Bull Hardline 2021
@nvranka: Calm down man. The truth is, even if we had pressures, sag, etc that it is meaningless to us. You think they are on the same tune/shim stack as a off the shelf 40/boxxer? Guarantee none of these top wc guys are.

Shimano Invests $300m in Japan & Singapore Facilities to Increase Capacity
Shimano is a Japanese ran company. They do their homework and are typically pretty conservative on (sustainable) growth projections, I think this is likely due to e bike market growth worldwide. It’s a good thing.

@Snowsed341: In all fairness, the EWS barely has an EWS presence at the moment.

Aug 18, 2019Transition Patrol Large (Upgraded X01 w/ Reserve I9's)
$3650 USD2018 Transition SBG Alloy Patrol (Large) with a significantly upgraded top notch build kit ready for anything. Same geometry as the current 2019 model bike, just with a different color scheme. Bike is ready to go and needs nothing, the suspension has been serviced by Fox in the last 2 months, and the brakes have a fresh bleed on them as well. Tires and brake pads still have plenty of life left in them, and the bike doesn't have a single dent on it, only some small chips in the paint in the usual places. Shock/fork/seatpost have clean stanchions with no scratches on them, and the bike has been incredibly well maintained. Over $7500 in for this bike by the time you factor in all the upgrades.
2018 Large Transition Patrol w/ custom Slik Graphics stickers in orange (can be peeled off if you would prefer as the normal painted transition logos in black are under them)
2019 Fox 36 w/ Grip2 Damper (reduced offset)
2019 Fox DPX2 w/ custom tune specifically for the Patrol (significant improvement over the factory spec tune)
