Not to be a buzzkill but based on your suggested pilot locations, I don’t think the potential customer pool will be big enough for this. I would think the markets for these types of van rentals would be British Columbia, Colorado/Utah, and maybe the Tennessee/North Carolina/West Virginia corner of Appalachia. Very few people are going to be in LA or SF and looking to start a van based bike trip. Even Portland is probably too far from the epicenter of PNW riding. Maybe Seattle? Who is the user in your vision? Someone flying into one of your rental locations and...

Pretty cool idea. For some people’s spending habits just the discount codes could make it worthwhile. And for the family, friends, and fans of the riders it gives an easy way to financially contribute while getting something in return.

Skid meter. High score wins.

I want to know what this is for and why I didn't think of it.

OnlyMotion has launched a Kickstarter campaign for their electronic conversion kit for mechanical droppers. More info - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onlymotion/worlds-first-electronic… I know this concept was discussed a few pages ago. I appreciate the effort to create something that doesn't exist. I also don't mind the extra cable at my cockpit for a mechanical dropper. I guess if you really want electronic/wireless without having to run the new gen of wireless droppers that look terrible with the battery at the collar, this is for you haha

If anyone at SRAM has a sense of humor, they're going to drop these things on Easter.

They might do a limited run but in Vancouver Canada anything with a bit of flare seems to go way over priced thanks to scalpers.. someone had Jackson goldstone sign their bike (stock nomad) and are trying to get $15,000 CAD for it.. I couldn’t see sram charging more for this kit than the other ultimate mavens Ltd they released

Micheal Jackson actually wrote man in the mirror about bar stack vs rise.

2 years ago some eagle eyed super nibblers on here spotted an ochain on saint cranks at a DH world cup,,,,, I figured enough time has passed that i can disclose how it happened. Am sure someone will be interested. https://www.mtbr.com/threads/modifying-saint-cranks.1237732/#replies

Hey everyone, wouldn't it be cool if there was a thread for debating brake stuff? There is! https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/nerding-out-brakes-shall-we-not-ano…

That certainly isn't my color palette, but similar to the Maven launch edition, I like seeing a company as large as SRAM do something unique with the launch of a new product - even if it's "just" a non-traditional color. Also, the Maven Ultimate Expert Kit (if you could get your hands on one at launch) was a really excellent deal considering how much it came with for basically the same price as just the brakes alone. If only these were purple to match my current Sentinel accent color scheme... I'd be nervously waiting around with a credit card to...

More pics of the SRAM Motive brake:

Just saw those on a Madison (UK distributor). They look sick. Finally someone is building a DJ wheelset that isn’t DMR 😚

This is just the cassette that's used with the OEM only S1000 Transmission. That whole groupset kind of flew under the radar when it launched, but nothing new here.

I want to love I9 stuff because it's beautiful, and I'm still on team high engagement...but I broke two Hydras and in 30 years of cycling the only stem Ive ever had an issue with was an I9, and it broke on both the body and faceplate. Great warranty, but I needed it four times for three purchases.

Remember Lal Supre Drive? It only ever reached the Nicolai Nucleon 16 Supre, but that partnership was stopped last year. The Lal Bikes guys are now moving in a new direction and developing a steel/carbon frame built around their drivetrain. They hope this proves their drivetrain to the world, and that more manufacturers will show interest. This is a screenshot from their latest Instagram reel (6th March).

I have heard through the crab vine that mech trans & Motive brakes will be released at the end of the month. New Rockshox wireless dropper will one up Wolf Tooth's 242mm drop length and with no hydraulics at all, just air Just speculation though, crabs are quite difficult to understand
