2 Key Takeaways From This Pinkbike Creaky Fork Crown Thing

1: Engineering and manufacturing in the bike industry is hilariously bad.  Press fits should not be a problem at all the way they are in modern mountain bike forks.  If you built your industrial machines, your cars, your trains, your ships, your airplanes like this, anything but bikes pretty much, well, you wouldn't last a second as a going concern.  Most people in the bike industry are useless.  Fox and Rockshox either don't know how to do it properly or are too cheap to do it properly.  Why not both?

2: Dual-crown Zebs and 38s would have been really fucking cool.  A properly designed and manufactured dual crown enduro/all-mountain fork in the 150mm and up range instead of the current Zeb and 38 designs we got would be fucking wicked awesome...

New Transition Scouts And Sentinels Will Someday Be Available With Deore XT

Very smart.  Of course, essentially none of the new plastic Transitions are available now, and some may be EIGHT (8!) months away, but someday, supposedly, the Scout and Sentinel will come with Deore XT builds.

Sucks about the suspension, though.  Fox Performance Elite junk is okay--Kashima is bullshit--but getting the best RockShox for the same price with the GX crap is not cool.  Fox Performance doesn't cut it.

Helpfully not pictured: An XT build and the proper blue colour.

Your welcome.
