I think it should be time to gatekeep. I've already been calling out creators using AI, I wouldn't be opposed to calling out people who take free stuff from Lewis.

I’m sure that is deliberate to get around patents, “look, our pedal doesn’t have a hole, totes different.” 🙃 I’ve been running them for a few months, don’t even notice the gap in the center and I think the void helps with grip.

I don't think China cares about that. I'm hoping Joe Breeden does though and stops running their bullshit on their race bikes. Is that chainring design a copy aswell?

Why? The hole is their second best feature, it makes them super comfortable and grippy. Also, fuck lewis.

Rev grips also whipped up a version for Reece Wilson to try recently. But I can’t seem to find the video clip of it now.

Perhaps my sarcasm detector is not calibrated properly but this smells like cold-pressed extra virgin snake oil: - The half circle is smaller in area, reducing air resistance. This is the variation the IFR team uses, because in elite racing, every millisecond counts. That said, Rev grips have a bulge at the ends that actually helps with the grip of...

I'm actually super curious about those. I've heard and observed that most of your grip strength while riding actually comes from your pinky finger at the outside of the grip. If these bar ends allow your pinky to hold on while using less grip strength, it seems like that would be super beneficial for not only fatigue, but also being able to ride loose and smooth. Counterpoint: no one else in the World Cup seems to be rushing out to use them, or in Moto where hand and arm fatigue is even more brutal.

Every friend of mine who has ever commuted on bike was doored at least once here. As a biker, you can't really protect yourself with forward thinking and anticipation of others' actions because Massholes will be Massholes.

I believe lower leg replacement from Intend is only 70 Euro, so very reasonable. It's the whole back and forth from Germany that could add some time and money.

lower legs are made of cheese compared to stanchions. FWIW, the original intend stanchions are rather hard to score..(during transport, when most of shit happens anyway).
