First Ride: Fox's New Transfer Dropper Post - Adjustable Travel, Up to 240mm of Drop
@clapforcanadaa: according to the parts list, looks like the 1up v3 still uses the same seals / bushings for the 3 sizes.

would be especially cool to see a post with a larger diameter 34.9 specific slider, rather than using the spindly 30.9 part across all sizes within a thicker wall (heavy) lower. (someone may be doing this; i haven't extensively perused the current dropper landscape).

Push Industries Releases Nine.One Inverted Fork
i'd question the lower unsprung mass claim. conventional magnesium lowers are quite light. i wouldn't be surprised if the moving assembly of this fork (thicker wall aluminum stantions, bolt on alu dropouts w/ bolt hardware, added guards & hose guide) is actually heavier.

Push Industries Releases Nine.One Inverted Fork
catering to the exotic end of the spectrum probably isn't a bad concept for a relatively small volume manufacturer like push. while midrange purchasers are feeling the pinch in the current economic climate, high end clientele are somewhat insulated, and continue to merrily snap up the shiny baubles (just take a look at the supercar market; stuff like this is pocket lint). i'm thinking they'll readily sell everything they make, and (assuming some aspects of this chassis are class leading) will keep the big players on their toes. all good, imo.

the nucleon clone is impressive work. curious how that (level of visual accuracy) was accomplished. too bad the geometry wasn't modernized, though; could be a neat retro-tech build with contemporary numbers.

Forbidden Announces Details for New Supernought DH Bike
short(er) riders run this type of geometry every day (ie, most size small frames have this type of front/rear balance, if not even more so offset). let's ask them! maybe we taller riders are off the back (literally) in regards to chassis balance.

Review: 2023 Transition Smuggler - The Little Ripper
2-3 month bearing lifespan - in the dry - is fairly ridiculous. this is a PNW company?
