Yeah that should be possible - I remember a thing years ago where people were running some oddball XT crankset (I think it was for touring bikes at the time) because it had a longer spindle and would slot straight in to a DH bike. It might have been for a narrower q-factor instead of the chainring mounting but either way it fitted on the wider BB no worries but removing the spacers

The rose colored glasses was directed specifically at the your comments on the Amflow bike itself (not the motor). The first one was by and large a sub-par bike in and of itself. I haven't read any long term reviews of the second gen ones yet but it does look like they've addressed enough of the issues to bring it up to average. Regarding what ebikers change out on bikes, that must be a regional thing. Around here, the number of guys I see on bone-stock ebikes is tiny, like maybe 1/20. Bars, stems, & grips all get changed out...

I think this is the thing that has changed most over the last 12 to 24 months, maybe longer. The idea that you need a Western brand to “vouch” for a product’s quality feels like it is starting to break down. A lot of our stuff has been made in Asia for a long time, but historically it was still driven by Western product management, with engineering coming mostly from the west, but also from the companies making the stuff themselves. What seems to have shifted in the last few years is China’s ability to understand the core user and...

"Nobody lifts a finger." is a bit of an overstatement. Plenty of people who were there did what they could, which wasn't much since they had other jobs to do and he wasn't gushing blood. They told him it sit down and called the ambulance. He kept standing and waited. Were they supposed to shut down practice and kiss it and make it better? He didn't seem to have any complaints about how it was handled.

"Pedal efficiency" is usually shorthand for anti-squat. Drivetrain drag and pedal bob are separate effects, so in short, I doubt it. Assuming I've understood your question.

Quick bit of rumor-mill news. I've had multiple off record sources tell me Cannondale may be (is) done. This jives with what we are seeing on the race team side of things. https://bikerumor.com/cannondale-factory-racing-is-done-after-2026/ My sources are not within the company, so treat it as pure speculation.

Statement from the founder of VHS who sold the company to RideWrap. TLDR: owner of Dyedbro is a scumbag To the MTB Community, Back in February, when I first saw the Dyedbro "SHUSH" hit the market, I made some heated comments on social media. I was operating on raw emotion after seeing a product I poured my life into get repackaged by the very people who actively sabotaged my company. Today, the dust has settled, I have the documented receipts, and I want to lay out the exact timeline of what happened. I started Velocity Hucking Systems (VHS) to solve...

Clearly this SHUSH product doesn't work great, it failed to keep Ridewrap silent.

Asking more and more money for less visibility to an industry that have less and less.... If PON choice road bike teams and influencers over XCO teams, it's mean XCO is less attractive from a marketing point of view. When brand will shut down road team instead of MTB team (dh or xc), then, i will be happy with warner.

I put some time in designing some 3D printable bar ends. Went through quite a lot of trial and error but now i'm really happy with how they turned out. Currently being tested by myself and a few local riders. So if you or someone you know owns a 3D printer, and you find it hard to justify 50 dollars for the wolf tooth ones, or you're waiting for them to restock maybe check out https://cults3d.com/:4581834 Total cost for a pair is somewhere about 5ish bucks including my file, filament, bolts and nuts. If you brake them, that's a few...

It's an interesting comparison - I needed ChatGPT to politely rephrase my thoughts on Antidote and it came back with "Well equipped, but still learning." But I also think that Frameworks is far more technologically advanced than they appear at first glance. When you look at the tools they've used for development I have a feeling they are also much further ahead than the majority of teams. The thing I really like about them is Frameworks seem to have min-maxed the hell out of the team so instead of wasting money on shiny pits they are getting all the benefits...
