"with an inner diameter of 24mm........"

is this a trinket made large with trick photography or is math education so bad the diameter and width are used interchangeably...????

Obviously talking about the rim inner width hey? It is something that annoys me to no end, I see LOTS of people/companies say inner diameter instead of width, has me face palming often

That's a seriously good looking bike!

Geometry is modern, pivots are wide and stiff, colours are ... bold Looks the business. I'd love to try the 120mm version of the Cypher.

I actually like how the grips are well used and dirty, as opposed to some of the other pros who get new grips every single stage, it looks like.

[MORNE]

what I like best is the fact thats it's properly 'worn in' and full of 'flaws'. As in he didnt get new everything 'because i'm doing the epic...did you hear?? i'm doing the EPIC"

Interesting that he was using a Chinese's power meter XCADEY and not a Quarq or Stages.

[Mongoose!]

Is the seat post also Titan or is it only the frame? ????

GPLama has given them a fairly good review, especially the updated versions with feedback from his testing of them

Love my XCADEY. would never again use stages as I had to have a unit replaced with water damage and Omnico told me the units do "sweat".... WTF

Both Sigeyi and XCADEY looks as iff they came out of the same factory

You are probably 100% correct.

Few reviews and comments on forums about same factory, different software.

I really like the Cypher.

And from the looks of it, Specialized basically copied the frame design for the new Epic, so it must be good.

one set of pivots too many on the rear triangle..

That extra pivot would/should keep the suspension neutral under braking at least.
