Saw this little guy on Suburban Ninja yesterday.

Man, I saw those and thought they were BS. I may check it out now. Thanks!

Forgot to mention the cascade link. They make one for the yeti that will help with the small bump compliance and ledge issues associated with this platform. I just installed one on my druid and it made a noticeable difference on compliance, even on a high pivot. Did take some fiddling with shock psi and settings to get it dialed, but well worth it. Downside is it'll slack your yeti out slightly and is a little pricey. If you install, do it on the DL and hold onto your old link in case of a warranty issue. https://cascadecomponents.bike/collections/yeti-linkages

That was my biggest issue with the early droppers. If I am hitting something that requires a dropper I want my hands on the bars, not fumbling around between my legs. Especially if it is on an unfamiliar trail.

Something must be up with the local coyote population right now. I chased a big one half way down the first Inner Log segment yesterday, until he remembered he didn't have to run on the trail. Hopefully they're helping us with the feral cat issue.

A young red shoulder tried to catch a squirrel on the ground in my back yard the other day. Squirrel narrowly escaped by jumping into a holly bush. The hawk walked around the bush for 15-20 min and made a few more grabs but couldn’t get thru the foliage to get his prey. He then flew about 10’ away to the fence and sat there for 30 min waiting on the squirrel to make a break for it before flying off. Had to show the wife when he was trying to grab it out the bush. She usually never sees the animal adventures that happen out back. Adventures of living on a suburban Greenbelt!

Forgot to add. Bikes with slack STAs make it more difficult to compress the dropper. Particularly bikes with 30.9 seat tube diameter and smaller.
