Especially if they did it a year ago, and used a full 65mm stroke 🤣

Absolutely, 20mm axles are definitely the best option for stiffness, but they do put a barrier on adoption in the current bike market, and going with a 15mm steel axle, while not as light or as stiff, makes adoption a lot easier and lowers the barrier to entry. It's a problem the industry made themselves since 20mm axles have been around forever, but 15mm became the default for everything but DH bikes.

It wasn't that long ago that "15 minute cities" was the latest far right snarl word/term. It didn't hit as hard in Australia but it still comes up from time to time. I work in transport planning and the hysteria around it completely baffled me. How can anyone possibly delude themselves into believing that the idea of city planning based around safety and accessibility for all transport modes and users is some kind of grand (communist?) conspiracy? A bloke I worked with on a few projects once raised Elon Musk's ire on Twitter by calling out his nonsense. It was...

Cavitation occurs when a pressure drop causes the local pressure to fall below the vapor pressure of the fluid. In the scenario you described, fluid was being aspirated by retracting a piston, which introduced a pressure drop due to flow restriction. At low actuation speeds, the flow rate was low enough that the vacuum generated could still draw the fluid through the system without issue. However, at higher actuation speeds, the pressure drop became large enough for the local pressure to fall below the fluid’s vapor pressure, releasing dissolved gases into the closed system and introducing bubbles. I’m not sure...
