I think they realized that they were going to sell exactly none of them as most people with a 10 speed cassette have figured out that 7 is less than 10 and no new drive-body would be required to subtract some gears. The same laws of subtraction can be applied to the old 9 speed stuff, and if there's anybody still running 8 speed, they can do it too.


The new fork pays for the brake recalls, and the new hub standard pays for the R&D on the 7 speed DH group.
touche.


they probably cost reduced the oil out of it right off the bat

Drifting into rocks sideways while trying to hold a line.....hell yes :D
Cornering is for plebs, lateral stiffness is all that matters.

My DH bike is a drag car and yours should be too.

I think I solved the puzzle. Remember when RS released that shock we weren't fast enough for? Given how reliable avid brakes were we finally can meet the steep speed requirements needed for RS products.
