That guy continues to strive for the asshole of the year award. Any validity of his opinion has been removed by that kneepad/short gap and that’s even before we talk about his “low IQ” dismissal of everyone who dares to disagree with him 😂

Thank god. I was shopping for bars and stems but just didn’t feel like there were enough options. This might just be the perfect one.

Does anyone want electronic gears on their dh bike? I feel like this is just sram repackaging existing components for the sake of streamlining production. Basically cost savings being fed to us as innovation without any real world benefits to the rider.

You can get the correct DOT fluid in any automotive shop. For any DOT compatible brake. Good luck with that with mineral oil brakes. You have different oils WITHIN the same manufacturer (Shimano), let alone between manufacturers. I know I'm beating a dead horse at this point and derailling the thread at the same time, but sorry, I see ZERO benefits from using mineral oil vs. DOT fluid in brakes... If anything, also reading people's experiences about it, it's more complicated than anything, cleaning it up is a pain compared to DOT and the aforementioned issue of finding the correct...

As others noted, thanks for this in depth insight along with other comments. One more question. Podcast with Jeff when? 🙂 EDIT: actually a genuine question. Considering you have your own operation in Taiwan, how do you handle handlebars and stems? Is it also covered in house? Obviously I'm grateful for everything shared so far, but I am obviously interested in even more 🙂
