Adequate steeze (as the British might say)

@suspended-flesh: I work in cancer care as my profession. My father, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and high school best friend have all either died of cancer or are currently being treated for cancer. I apologize if my tone came off as tone-deaf. SLC is where the BRCA1/2 genes were identified as hereditary breast cancer genes, it's where precision medicine on the topic has been heavily innovated on and leveraged in order to save lives (often by mastectomy (literally cutting out breast tissue at risk of developing cancer- which is the most effective measure to prevent breast cancer ( link on that topic found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6057165/ )). I am heavily passionate about fighting cancer as part of my career focus. I find being honest, and highlighting levity around the dark, indifferent, sinister reality of cancer is an honest, important, and cathartic aspect to embracing the reality of what cancer is, what it means to avoid it, and what it means to live with it. Comedy and tragedy are two sides to the same coin (comedic tragedy is the literal impetus of where comedy was hewn from in society). Some folks (like myself) who are entrenched in cancer both from very personal domains and as a profession, may have a very different and intimate relationship with the dark reality of cancer that may not be palatable for some. Please forgive how my comment must have landed, it was not intended to come off as insensitive, tone-deaf, of sociopathic.

The funny thing about the Keep a Breast name is that breast cancer prevention often involves a mastectomy (particularly when a known pathogenic hereditary breast cancer gene like in BRCA1/2 variant is found). Maybe should have gone with Chop a Breast, or Lose a Breast, or something more clever than my brain can conjure up.

After I hit the mute button this edit got pretty damn awesome.

Pfffff. When I was 16 I was one-year post-recovery from breaking both wrists from being no more than 4 feet off the ground whilst snowboarding. Kids these days...

On repeat in my mind watching this edit: 'If this fits the category of freeride, what the hell do we call what everyone else is doing?....' I feel like Brage has developed the focus, athleticism, and skill of a world-class rider but stolen and harnessed the souls of 1000 5th graders kicked out into the hall for not being able to subdue their inner burn for play. Either this is something more than freeride, or Brage is freeriding alone on this planet.

Thank you to all the folks with a bike stand in their garage that suddenly become bike builders when a hot-button issue arises. This question is not for you though- can someone who actually builds/ tests frames tell me what the pro/con list would be if the Atherton AM.150.FRAME were to use Ti tubing rather than carbon?

Shoulda doubled down on a burlier tire

@danielfloyd- I too got diagnosed as surly recently, I feel you. While I NEVER wanna share Moab trails with anyone but my friends in tow, perhaps Momentum will hone in on trail etiquette and speed up riders that'd be 'in muh way' otherwise. Nobody likes sharing, especially me. But if I gotta share, I'd prefer doing so with they that rip quietly and respectfully. I hope Momentum helps clients to these ends.
