quotes @Ian @Waki - indeed the Enduro collar does come with all 2012 Reverbs, although it won't lessen the bushing leverage you mentioned Waki. It will only allow you to go from fully extended to partially compressed (depending on where you set the collar). That said, it is an excellent little piece of security to bring along on that epic all-day or multi-day ride: if your Reverb blows and won't hold in the extended position, you can use the Enduro collar to lock your post up and get a decent ride back home!

quotes True ghetto for low-cost and very low weight: 1 strip of velcro on your saddle. 1 strip of velcro on your riding shorts. 1 bar mounted cable release for your seatpost QR. Infinite height adjustment. Your legs are the return spring. Probably 50g for the whole thing, and $30. Never breaks. (yes i'm kidding. but it's as plausible as anything else out on the market right now... :\)

quotes 1:40 - look at the lateral torque movement in the rear swingarm of that Evil! Some wheel flex for sure but if you watch the rear triangle, you can see how much it corks. I'd like to see a bunch of different frames ridden by the same rider hooking up through a gnarly corner.

quotes *Every* piece of CrankBros equipment I've ever owned has been a well-marketed piece of crap, without exception. They still have good marketing I see....

quotes Richard - keep in mind that tire design plays a huge role in the leverage effect that causes tubeless tires to burp under load. Sidewall height varies from tire to tire, as does true casing width. I would argue that the careful choice of tire plays as big (or bigger) role than rim width does. A tire with a comparatively low sidewall height, narrow casing, firm casing and firmer compound will maintain its shape and break traction before burping the sidewall. Taller sidewalls, thinner/wider casings and sticky compounds are more prone to pulling off a narrower rim. The taller the casing, the longer the lever. All that being said, I run a 28mm I9 EN wheelset and ride it hard, no problems. The weight savings of a 24mm rim are not worth the potential hassle of losing air even once IMO.
