First Look: Vorsprung's New Telum Coil Shock
@PhillipJ: I found that unweighting the back wheel/suspension (hang saddle from branch, work stand etc) made it easier to turn.

First Look: The Raaw Jibb V2 is More Versatile with 130mm or 141mm Travel
@pisgahgnar: they responded, no geo chart for some reason, but i'm sure they would sell you the LT rocker/shock combo

I messaged them on pinkbike asking if there is a LT geo chart. I assume it raises the BB and shortens the reach a touch, but would like confirmation.

First Ride: Rocky Mountain's 2024 Altitude Has a Completely Revised Frame Design
Frame only pricing is absurd across all brands. At least make the alloy version available like many brands do that have alloy versions. 2lbs ain't worth $3k to me.

First Ride: 2024 Mondraker Dune eMTB - Punchy, Maneuverable, & Light Enough
Because of the stupid shock tunnel design. Maybe it looks cool or there is some bs about lowering the center of gravity, but I won't buy another frame with it after dealing with it a few times. Can make some shock adjustments borderline impossible without removing it, setting sag can be difficult to see, and as you mentioned, it often will compromise insertion depth.

First Ride: Forbidden Dreadnought V2 - More Travel & Longer Chainstays
Aside from a Eurobike/sea otter day, this has to be the biggest new product launch/review day that I can remember on pinkbike. Think some company is gonna wise-up and do Monday or Wednesday launches?

Review: SDG Tellis V2 Dropper Post - No Slop, More Drop
This post came on a bike I bought this year, I sold it off because I wanted more drop. But I absolutely love the clamp system, easily best I’ve used in recent memory. I don’t understand how OneUp, PNW etc can get it so wrong.

Police Called to Scott Sports Headquarters as CEO Dispute Continues
@Superburner: Right? You can steer a company into oblivion, and still get tens of millions for being terrible. End stage capitalism is wild. The departing Boeing CEO cost the company billions (and lives) and he may end up with over $45 million in payouts.

Police Called to Scott Sports Headquarters as CEO Dispute Continues
Swiss police: We arrived on the scene to calm the situation and open a dialogue between the two parties.
US police: A tactical team was dispatched to the scene, fearing for their lives, officers neutralized all on site. All body cameras were not functioning, but we're totally telling the truth. Back the blue.

Bike Check: Craig Evans' Airdrop Edit V5
Extra points for external cable routing. It's not a mandatory, but like a threaded BB, it will be a tiebreaker feature when I'm in the market again.
