To Mike Ferrentino, for just about summing up the world of web wise wonkers perfectly in the phrase
"…some anonymous dickwad who is avoiding his dayjob by spending hours of company time debating the merits of different forks on 29" wheels"
😆

And to all the stw team for putting together the best issue I've read for quite a while……………..

here here! well said that chap….

Problem with Mike Ferrentino's article is he admits he loves the hype that gets generated from people who haven't seen, let alone ridden, his bikes, but doesn't like the negative comments from similar people. Can't have it both ways 🙂

Out of interest… Mike Ferrentino talks about one bike that's benefitted from pre-ride comment – I assume he means the Tallboy. What I can't work out is which (replacement) model has had criticism from people who haven't ridden it yet. Anyone who knows the Santa Cruz product range better than me know which one he's on about?

It really is just idle curiosity on my behalf. I love my Blur 4X. IMO they've missed a trick by not reworking it but as long as mine still works I won't be replacing it.
