The patent was never actually granted. It was issued a non-final rejection based on being an obvious combination of prior art. If you don't respond to that within a certain window the patent office considers it abandoned. So anyone that wants can have at it.

related to the dhx release... I want to give a shoutout to the new 3c maxx terra that maxxis released. I just tried it for the first time on a 2.5 dh dhr2 as a rear tire and the longevity/wear is significantly improved. Previously, this same tire as a rear would be looking pretty shot after 5-6 full park days... but the new compound only just started to show wear ever so slightly after day 3. Suffice to say, it seems to me that it will last somewhere around 2x longer... maybe a bit less than that. Conditions were too...

Any questions about the DHX or updated DH casing let me know, both were my projects. In general the DHX does everything our current dry tires do, but has more capability for high load high speed conditions. I designed it to excel in the bike park oriented World Cup tracks but still not give up performance in soft or natural sections compared to current dry tires. Ideally I wanted to simply the racers’ tire choice: if it’s dry and fast- DHX, if it’s soft or mixed- HR3, if it’s wet- mud spike. The updated DH casing is pretty well explained...

Agreed. Smooch it up, nerds. I created this thread to chat about e-bikes because the tech forum got sick of too much emtb talk. Now you two are having a pissing contest about nothing. Kiss and be friends or go battle it out in the emtbforums, not here.

Now you two kiss. 😘

Big knobs, big volume, big speed! And new casing.

Never. Heavy, commodity parts are what I need.

Anyone ever flat from spokes poking through the rim tape? Recently happened to me- DT Swiss FR560 32H- smashed very hard on something- got 2x holes from spokes poking up through the rim tape. DH tire and cushcore. I'm guessing the ghetto tubeless tube would have saved me but installation with a cushcore would be impossible.

Bike rumor has a New minion dhx review up https://bikerumor.com/maxxis-debuts-a-new-minion-dhx-for-dry-plus-all-n…

I love that you think gearboxes will become ubiquitous on ebikes and will entirely replace mechanical derailleurs and electronic battery-powered derailleurs and electronic hard-wired derailleurs and autoshift derailleurs and internally geared hubs, instead of becoming one more option among a confusing sea of options and pricepoints, like everything else in the bike industry. If only it were that simple.

Looks dishwasher safe tho.

Or maybe people are reacting to your lack of respect for their time. You’ve added a signature to every one of your posts advertising your AI coded product in a forum where almost no one uses a signature so it’s basically spam. When you asked a technical question and were given resources that answered your question in great detail written by an industry subject matter expert you used AI to read it for you and it gave you a wrong answer which others had to correct. People are putting time into knowledge sharing and you’re here just slop-posting which is...

Yeah, AI shits the bed once again.

Yeah I don't think that's an accurate or helpful summary of the key takeaways of that thread.

Can we please not turn this into a d*ck-measuring contest regarding who rides which steep thing w/ which gearing?

Lawlor will be at Worlds, Whistler and Lake Placid.

Loic, Finn and Jordan dynamics aside, it's still wild to me that a company the size of Specialized doesn't have an elite woman on the elite downhill team.

there‘s another layer of frame protection bolted on over the tag.

Babe wake up, Yeti just released a $5,000 frameset.
