there is no smoothshift option for eagle 90 on avinox systems. you haven't shifted properly if you haven't enjoyed smoothshift. the best iteration of shifting before we can enjoy the ecvts

Honestly, the lack of "fudgeability" by using the limits + b tension screws to deal with any cable/housing related issues puts a hell of a lot of pressure on the tension adjuster on the sram 90 shifter and its just... not up to the task. I think I'd be singing a different tune if it felt as nice to deal with (and worked as well) as the XO and XX1 stuff did in the previous generation. I recently put an XO DH shifter on a madrone DH jab and my god its so nice, and in my opinion what the...

It's a shame there is no way to adjust the height of your handlebars.If you bike's stack is 10mm lower than you'd like you just have to put up with it.It's really unfortunate.

I know I need to take this to the Geo chat... haha...So after this, id be happy to discuss over there to keep this for its intentions. but I think with higher stacks and longer chainstays, the front end doesn't need to be as long and the therefor the wheelbase can start to shorten back up. Calculating the rider triangle and sizing, mathematically, we can fit similarly but just change the hinge at the hips and body positioning. Bringing the leverage back higher with the stack, you gain back some 'agility' and being able to ride 'active'. You can still...

yep absolutely. we might be at another rung in the ladder of geo evolution here. a really long wheelbase and high stack feels amazing for plowing straightline chunk, sleeps etc. but you loose some agility and an active riding style over the front is harder (i really enjoy loading up the front wheel and doing sharp cutty turns). But also, we're used to "last gen" geo concepts (short wheelbase low stack) and need to learn new riding styles. it’s dependent on terrain and rider height/body proportions too of course.

Considering your bike has a ratio of 1.93 which is quite very very high, that makes sense. You need to be way lower and over the front for any traction on that bike. This in an XL is 1.82, therefor, low stack will just be a load more front end weight through geo than you are used to. Thats where the higher stack would aid in a better feeling (subjective) riding position and still maintaining good front end weight. You don't NEED to ride over the front as heavily anymore because the geo already naturally is giving you more front...

Certified armchair engineer here… Wouldn’t you want something like this hidden inside the frame, or somewhere less obvious?

Babe wake up, Yeti just released a $5,000 frameset.

It's actually 127mm in XL? https://yeticycles.com/en-us/bikes/lt/geometry As an XL rider, this geometry actually looks pretty amazing, just need some spacers and a riser bar. Also the alternative color way is a looker:

Somewhere, Brian Cahal is popping Champagne.

I did not expect an XL Yeti to come with 465mm chainstays in the short setting.

Pedalling and kickback are the same force; foot and pedal "push" against each other because the chain is under tension between the top of the chainring and cassette. If this is an anti-PK device, I think there has to be something else going on.

WHATS OLD IS NEW AGAIN https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/13049543/

how about a series hybrid, like the Also TM-B. There's no mechanical connection between rider input and what the drive unit does. All gear ratios are "simulated" by the motor. I wonder if this would be efficient enough to NOT use a battery, just transfer all rider power to the motor instantaneously. You can solve the problems of chain/derailleur/unsprung weight on the rear axle all at once too.

After life happened I’m currently on a 3x9 GT avalanche. 26”. Literally pulled out of the scrap metal bin from a family member. The old shimano hydraulic disc brakes didn’t even need a bleed. Only needed the front quick release axle. First bike I have after being off bikes for over 4 years. After 25 years of riding. First of all, be glad that the front derailleurs are gone. 2nd, bikes are fun. Period. Yes, I wanna be on a full swish bike again, 29” or mullet. But I have a bike. When I swap to skinny tires it works...

Three gears in the front and seven in the back could be the perfect ratio for mountain biking! It's almost like it would give you three different gear "ranges" using the front shifter- one for climbing, one for descending, and one for everything in between. And the chain alignment could be so much straighter without having to pack all your gears onto one super wide cassette. I wonder why no one's thought of that yet? I can't think of any downsides.

F1 AND aerospace technology on a same product, that's one fast shock!

single speed and internal gear hub guys are gonna be pissed at you for saying that! I think they’ll be best served if nobody wins it. Right now we say their name every week. If someone finally scrapes out a win it’ll be the end of the story. Red Sox became really boring once they finally won.

Ext aria v2 coming soon.

Wasn't Zerode using GBs years before the Gates prize showed up.
