"cough" ...sharpied out continentals :D
I think that's the joke
sarcasm isn‘t your forté… name checks out
"sneeze"
'bites tongue"
"tummy gurgles semi-loudly"
"wonders if this will be a trip to the bathroom or not"
I have a small number of these available if anyone is interested: https://solutionfactory.bigcartel.com/.
This is probably a "whoosh" moment... but aren't those Kryptotals? Pretty sure the rear is at least.
do people even read the replies before posting?!
Pretty cool, show us how strong it is…… stand on it.
No, absolutely not. Reading is not a strong suit for most people.
No need to get mean about it. I scrolled too fast, my bad. Time to go for a ride.
DHRII as well, I'm really curious to see what Pirelli comes out with in the future. Minion/Krypotal fusion? Maybe just some hot patches instead?
I like my forum comments like I like my riding style. Fast, loose, awkward and over confident in my abilities.
Does anybody already have any details on the new Rise? https://experience.orbea.com/en/new-rise-is-coming-register
BOLD statements, "the best just got better" clevis shock mount, headset cable routing, rear end as stiff as an overcooked noodle, "the best"
Nothing groundbreaking, two versions 140/140 or 150/160.
Shimano ep801 with a choice of either a 420 or 630w battery and a range extender.
Random tire question. Are the white patch Maxxis tires any different (compound, weight, etc...) from the yellow patch tires or is the white patch just a way for Maxxis to track the OEM tires?
There's a thread (and an easy Google search) for that, but here ya go:
"Confirmed by the head of Maxxis North America, the white logo Maxxis tires and normal yellow logo Maxxis tires are made to the same standard, are the same tire and the only difference is the hot patch color. "

Fairly certain the answer is no, however not all compounds are available in "white patch". But please do not hesitate to pursue it further in the correct thread instead of rumours thread
When I was ordering Maxxis as a PM at Canfield a few years back, the tires offered in white patch are for OEM only. They do not offer all of the options in white patch. But a white patch and yellow patch of the same tire specs (size/duro/TPI...) were the same. Yellow patch had more options and more of the premium options.
Not really a tech rumour, but quite interesting nonetheless
Why have you hidden the fact that that’s a dakotah post?
Pretty sure those bars make it absolutely clear who's post it is, but here's the link if there's any remaining doubt:

Not sure I'm buying this setup... his mechanic could have been messing with him.
But seeing Dak race those bars would be almost as good as the shorts bounty.
Seems about right, got rid of spacers and went to high rise bars.
Dak’s starting a biker gang with those ape hangers!?

Vivid coil?
Good eye! And a steering damper, but I think that's been discussed here already. The shock looks really similar to a Super Deluxe, so I'll have to defer to other tech nerds to confirm whether that's a new reservoir or just the old one with a new sticker, sans lockout lever.
