11/25/2024 3:07pm how Ironic we go to great lengths to have stictionless suspension and yet the countershox relies on stiction for damping. The big 2 suspension companies were in the wrong game all along it seems.

11/25/2024 12:56pm those pedals look really interesting, I'm a big boy, I can bend a few sets of DMR Vaults a year. That's a lot of stress in 2 bearings and no axle. If it's has proven reliability, I will get some.

11/11/2024 12:25pm our cranks are backwards, like how the toilet water spins backwards. Brakes on the correct side too.

11/10/2024 5:59pm biggest factor is your weight, then what mode (assistance) you require. If you are a twig, you can ride absurd vert. For us THICC men, 1200-1500m from 700wh is typical. convert that to cheeseburger units

11/1/2024 2:01pm we claim Russell Crowe, Sam Neill and split enz as our own but there are some we won't take lol. I genuinely love the NZ ethos on solving problems with fk all resources. The engineering talent is insane, the motorsport development is world class, with a population the size of a suburb in America. By the way, we are claiming...

10/24/2024 4:42pm No shit, when I had my first gen stumpy evo (in my sig) I would take a spare shock in my car because chances are the side loading would kill one. I wore the head on the shock mount bolt out from removing it so much lol Cane Creek still has a photo of me on their dartboard!

10/22/2024 1:43pm I'm pretty sure the fine print was for an elite win. Otherwise Neko would zip tie a gearbox onto asa's bike and split it with him lol

Being in a higher gear makes you more likely to experience pedal kickback. Being in a low gear makes you less likely to experience pedal kickback. A larger chainring reduces how much your cranks get moved by pedal kickback because the same amount of chain growth corresponds to a smaller rotation of the chainring. If you were to run a smaller chainring in order to run a higher gear then you would experience kickback more often and it would be more apparent each time too.

10/20/2024 3:55pm he says to go smaller on chainring to run a smaller cog up back, but that's counterproductive. Front sprocket size has an impact on PK too.
