I would argue that reducing Q-factor is not always a good thing. I actually prefer a wider Q-factor.

This is an actual PR that I read all the way through! A fascinating read and really insightful. This is how small brands get customers. She ain't a looker, but damn, do I want to try one now(I don't like/want ebikes).

Really glad that Cy shares his full development process. I love all the benefits of this over the cleaner looking integration that is heavier. I do also love what Lapierre has done with using an external swapable battery for weight distribution and ride feel. This should be more important than looks.

I love the mechanical nature of my bikes and understanding how it works. It’s some how less appealing to me when it all goes into a little black box.

We're excited to hear what the Robot overlords think. Back to back testing with wheel swaps is certainly the way to go. To comment on the single pawl on the pusher and concerns with torque/loading: that pawl never actually carries any drivetrain loads, it only acts to engage the 3 traditional pawls on the freehub, so those are actually the items carrying the drive loads.

Chain looks even more composed than o chain. I wonder if it’s the extra 6-9 degrees of “float” or if the overall system. Would be cool if team robot back to backed an o chain at 12 degrees and the sidekick at 12 degrees and if he can even tell a difference.

so this week i had the chance to put the rear wheel that jason used in the test on my 130mm trail bike (dual 27.5 vitus...basic 4-bar carbon bike). i normally run an onyx out back, so from instant engagement, to 18 degrees of slack. tires were exactly the same, rims both carbon (diff brand), but my normal cassette is 10-50t X vs the gx DH cassette on the test wheel. i weighed the wheels and the weights were within an ounce of each other (e13 hub weight made up for lack of cassette weight, i guess). i did back-to-back...

The lack of cable ports on future carbon frames is bumming me out. Wireless-only sucks for people who like to optimize for on-trail performance. I prefer carbon frames due to better alignment, fatigue life, and saving 2 lbs without decrease in durability, so going to alum isn't the right compromise. Our cohort has always prioritized spending $$ on top tier suspension, brakes, and wheels, while almost universally selecting "good enough" drivetrain at the XT/GX level. I realize that showroom shopping squids prefer fancy looking gadgets to performance. This sucks and bums me out. I'm counting on the mid-sized brands to...

Fox Marketing, “How much is MSRP for the most expensive wireless post? 795? Ok, as $65 to that and send it. Oh, battery, add $20 to the SRAM battery price. Just because. What’s that you say? GoPro batteries are $25. Pfft. Losers don’t know what people will pay.” Like Yeti (the bike and the coolers) people will pay dumb prices for a brand. Don’t get me wrong Yeti makes nice stuff. And so does Fox. But in a market (bikes) that is STRUGGLING its seems a bit strange to just ask for more. Especially when we, as consumers, have ZERO...

It's ridiculous to have both 30.9 and 31.6. But we should have one of them as 34.9 doesn't make sense for steel bikes but it's pretty much ideal for aluminum and carbon especially as seat tubes and post insertion lengths are getting shorter but seatposts are getting longer. I would see all hardtails and steel/ti bikes move to 31.6 and everything else move to 34.9.

Been using Hope stuff for 25+ years. Got to know Simon (founder RIP) and have visited the factories a few times. Good stuff made by a company with a good ethos who look after their customers and employees.

All-MTN-MTB Liked a reply to forum topic Poll: Electric shifting vs mechanical shifting
7/30/2024 7:58pm
I think electronic shifting works well, but I don’t want any technology on my bicycle that ruins a ride if the battery runs out. My only exception for this is lights for night riding for obvious reasons. If my GPS, phone, or even a power meter dies, it’s unfortunate but I can finish my planned ride having just as much fun as if the components were at full charge. If an electronic derailleur, dropper post, or suspension dies, the enjoyment of that ride is significantly reduced. And that’s not even mentioning driving to the trailhead and realizing that you have...

I am just baffled, as Spomer and Jason said I believe, that you basically have a distance that seems about the exact distance of the standardized mega ramp for X Games. You have the backing of Red Bull. And therefore the backing of basically anyone including Travis Pastrana and his Nitro Circus crew and builders. You have as far as I can see every resource you could possibly want for this specific scenario... And you eye ball it? You just draw it on a napkin and call it a day? I'm guessing the big obstacle was, as you build the...
