Pretty sure the old ones went to 11 already. New ones will have to go to 12

Re: new Fox w/holes in arches: I’ve cleaned A LOT of mountain bikes. I’ve found that forks usually have two states of covered-in-crap: 1) still covered-in-crap (dust, mud, clay, whatever) from the last ride and hasn’t been cleaned yet, or 2) “cleaned”, i.e. garden sprayer or bike wash station at the trail center. Some of us take our time and are careful, some not so much. In both scenarios, crap inevitably remains in a crappy little pile, stuck right between the arch and the slider, and whichever category you fall into, it’s not easy getting it out of there. Gentle...

I kinda fell for it. I used to like loud-ish hubs, but not I9 loud… Admittedly been on Onyx hubs for a couple years. Can’t deal with excessively loud hubs anymore.

It is Fazua, just new stuff from them. Porsche was hiring new engineers and product owners recently.

Has anyone seen anything of the Porsche E-Bikes yet? I got passed by an E-Bike the other day and at first thought that maybe the person had put a big Porsche sticker on their bike as a joke but at second glance it was actually graphics and the whole bike looked extremely polished, different to any other E-Bike I know of and was kitted out with all sorts of bling parts. Sadly they were too fast to interrogate them or snap a pic but it would seem that Porsche might be pretty close to unveiling something given how 'production quality'...

Maybe the cheap cassette is all steel, heavy & more robust. Perfect for e-bikes. (not that e-bikes need a 12 speed but that's another topic) Then the bikes can go with the lighter X01 Transmission cassette (and chain) with the new cabled derailleur which will be lighter than any electronic derailleur, and depending on your tastes, shift better too.

Yeah I think that’s the max torque the hub can withstand, the new motor looks like it’s up 5nm to 90 though.

Sounds like a spec of the rear hub in that context.

260 Nm??😯

It's because most of the dirt is flung from behind by the spinning front tire and the reverse arch blocks the seals from that.

I don't often run Manitou, but when I do, the seals and stanchions run noticeably cleaner than forks with the arch at the front. For both mud and dust. Wouldn't surprise me if having more airflow around the seal and lower part of the exposed stanchion is actually a small improvement.

I’ll take numbers and letters that correspond to anything over “Comp, Expert, Elite, and Pro” What’s more better, Elite or Expert? 😂

The old one only goes to ten.

Adjustable noise levels?!?

Updated Hydra Hub. Thicker axle with new pawl and drive ring design. Adjustable noise levels. Less drag

Maybe a hub that doesn't act like a brake?

Manitou owners don’t seem to have any issues with the front of their seals being exposed.

not defending one way or another, but here's a bike in the middle of the muddy race from last year (loudenvielle). not much in the way of grime on the front of the fork.

More details from OneUp: At OneUp, we are committed to providing the best possible products and customer service for our riders. As part of this, we are issuing a product improvement and running change notice for our recently introduced Clip Pedals. We have received information from our customers that in rare and specific conditions, certain riders may experience difficulty unclipping from the pedal. Whether a rider experiences this issue depends on a combination of several variables, including the type of shoe, the brand of cleat, cleat position and technique. Many riders will never experience this issue. Nevertheless, we have developed...

Looks like Fox is looking to move to 5 hour service intervals.
