Could try a 50/50 on the knuckle and bury the chain ringNeeds to case a double on it
Are you sure, or is it just your eyes?Regardless, that’s some serious flex.
Should have got the 38s or fake totems.Clearly I should have gone to spec savers.

Whatever you do, don't look at the Trek website. The base level Supercaliber costs as much as my Project One ProcaliberWhat the actual fark. I've been watching the Pink Bike XC review series and thought I would check the Specialized Epic Evo geometry out to see why it works so well. I've never taken much notice of Specialized because reasons, but I went to their website and was shocked by their pricing.
The top of the line S-Works Epic has a retail of $19,000. That is what I bought my Subaru Forrester for. The frame and fork set is being sold for $8000.
Three years ago I custom built up a Yeti (not known for their value) from scratch with full XTR, Fox Factory, DT 240s, MCFK, Next SLs for $9000 as my YOLO bike. That was basically operating on an unlimited budget and buying exactly what I wanted.
What the fark has happened to bike pricing since then? Is this because geoblocking allows bike companies to hold us hostage? What margins are they working on? Are they being stupid for asking that much? Are we being stupid for demanding such products? What the actual fark?

What I can't believe is how many people buy specialized. I mean I have an old stumpjumper fsr (by old I mean 20 years old) but their stuff is generally so expensive (the old bike was too I might add $4K + 20 years ago), for what you get but there are more Big S bikes than anything else just about, how does that work? Plenty of S Works too !!!What the actual fark. I've been watching the Pink Bike XC review series and thought I would check the Specialized Epic Evo geometry out to see why it works so well.

With trickle down from the parts manufactures the GX is now 12 Spd etc - but yes agree prices seem to be crazy - either they were just scraping by before or they are killing it now?My brother bought a Specialized Levo E thingy. $9k alloy frame and GX. He says the money is in the battery and motor. Another mate got a Norco e thingy $9k carbon frame and full XT.
Bike prices are nuts. Yeti T series SB150 with GX is $10k!! .
