My $8000 bike I bought a year ago with a clutch derailleur still sounds like garbage so I think they still need to work on it.

Not really a tech rumour but a tech wish: since we’ve somewhat stabilized on geo development and are looking at new ways to innovate, can companies put more effort into silencing bikes? It’s kind of embarrassing that a $10k bike sounds like a shopping cart.

I'm on a lot of B2B and B2C mailing lists, and e-mails about price increases and other tariff-related items are rolling in. The latest is Wahoo, who will be adding tariff surcharges to every product at retail and wholesale.

Let's stop arguing about boiling points and get back to rumors. I go by which mineral oil tastes the best anyways.

Back to rumors. Check out this shock. Looks like a new coil shock from Intend…

It was a couple years back. They didn't creak, but the ramp teeth had worn down to nubs and shift quality had deteriorated dramatically. The drivetrain was setup by a shop, so theoretically it was installed correctly. Shimano warrantied both of them then I sold the system to go bleep bloop.

can we get back to rumors and please keep the headset standard discussion seperated (again)?! thx

Looking forward to quoting this post when it drops.

I kick off the superboost comments, it can indeed without a doubt, F off.
