Welded BB shell, please tell me that's an Intense!
I don't think I know any Intense that had a welded BB shell. Banshee?
Why? Having a self aligning bearing in a BB would be fun.
Definitely a Banshee.
The whole lower shock cradle and BB shell is two forged halves welded together. They are machined after welding.

get a mechanic that is also a nerd
Banshee Spitfire. The crank/BB actually spin very freely. I'm sure it was welded and then machined. Not the other way around.
Note- I guess what pissed me off about that crank is that The Industry decided to call it 73mm WIDE instead of calling it the 80mm, which it actually is. And again, why not 83 and be done with it?

Forgot to update this. I reached out to SRAM directly and they sent me new pedals. Actually two sets, they sent me the small platform by mistake and instead of having me send them back in they just told me to keep them. So yeah, happy about that.
Well that fucken sucks. Team that did the best for young up and comers pulls the pin.
I'd like to see Sick Bikes make some more "Too Posh To Push" shirts but make them about E-pumps this time.
Hopefully some Temu clones will catch fire and people will learn that putting in a bit of effort isn't such a bad thing.
The something for nothing generation, assemble!

I think I've done this before, but, anyways......
Companies that are still running the same HT length on every frame size, 600mm stack and a 75mm riser, yes please!

Oh and saying they climb well because of a 77.5deg STA, the actual STA numbers would be nowhere near that, it would be the 440mm stays making it climb well.
Lazy jerks.

Magura droppers, fool me once, whatever.
First gen and third gen are both shit, first one rattled lile crazy because of poor tolerances.
Current one wouldnt return to full height after about a week of use, noticed weird little marks in a line up the stanchion bit.
There was flattened thread on the schraeder, little burrs on the edge of the pushrod so i assume something got trapped and marked the stanchion.
From the factory it came 20Psi over the max allowable pressure and it was still stupidly slow.
My AXS dropper is four or five years old, it's had one service but has been perfect the whole time.
Still have to do the 600hr service.
