Video: Bike Checks from the Finale Ligure EDR World Cup 2024
@joni0001984: a biennial plan of two bolts sounds terribly insufficient. I don’t know anyone who gets away with so little maintenance. It makes me think you may not ride your bike much.
It doesn’t matter what you think should be. Yeti bikes are pretty amazing to ride. I no longer own one and I won’t miss the tiny bit of extra work for that Switch Infinity link, but they still make some pretty great bikes.

@joni0001984: I just sold my 2017 Yeti SB5. Used the right type of grease every two weeks, removed and cleaned the SI every few months, had zero issues over seven years in variable Canadian conditions.
Not going to say that the extra complexity and servicing makes sense, or that I’d recommend it if you cake your bike in mud every ride. But I had no first-hand issues.

There’s no service costs for the Switch Infinity stanchions. But you do have to keep them cleaned and do some simple maintenance every now and again.

Randoms Round 1 - Sea Otter 2024
@pbuser2299: …yeah it is, and that also allows them to make a slightly softer 33mm bar instead of 35mm. Definitely feel they are less harsh compared to my older 35mm carbon bars.

Have we done a pro bar width survey yet? Maybe it’s just me but feels like a lot of them are well under 800.

Operations are in mint condition, nothing to see here
Sigh….I hope other smaller bikemakers are still doing OK
