Diedre_Rashid Added a reply to Wait What? A Compressor on the Wheel?
3/17/2016 5:38am I like the idea, especially the rechargeable canister. The concern which wasn't mentioned and I'm sure will be the main question for most..how much does the full kit weigh? It looks pretty heavy. Not sure how many inflation of a tyre you would get out of the can, which is another concern...could you risk leaving your standard pump at home...

Diedre_Rashid Added a reply to The 'What's Your Coolest Feeling on a Bike Ever?!' Thread
3/15/2016 6:27pm Honestly I just love the feeling of mechanics vs nature. A favorite for a few of us was an off camber gravelesque long corner which we used to hit at about 30mph, a straight 30ft drop, spikey deadwood and trees to the left, when your wheels are digging in and your knees are skimming the ground, survival feels good

2/28/2016 8:40am Rsi injuries, that's why people don't do this. Too much backwards pressure on the fingers can cause serious even permanent nerve damage. I used to ride with my levers raised, caused more aches and pains than computer and cell use combined. Dropping the angle helped a lot.

2/19/2016 6:25pm What happened to freedom. Smh (a lot) Also nice touch trying to drag in everybody in the mildest of ways, while totally victimizing cyclists. Private land, fair enough, permission should be asked, respect shown. Both ways. Who is it hurting? Government claiming free territory is private or does this affect someone's livelihood? Cattle being scared off pastureland? Not on my...

Bad due to the marketing hype that shunted the prices up on nothing features, and then wows people with a price drop. I don't like seeing the market monopolized and prices being fixed.

No its great, I removed a couple of chainrings and got it for free
Lower is accurate, lowest I take issues with. Also triggers..as in Shimano..who use two per side, finger and thumb.

2/11/2016 6:38pm Really? It is so bad to be able to use standard wheel/driver body if you want? And at a lower price? I see, I see, you said 'triggers', which means you mush shift with both hands. That must be so difficult, I know I'd lose my mind as well if I still had to use both thumbs to shift.

Nail in srams coffin for me. Cash cow being taken to extremes. New unnecessary and drawing board design every other month. Glad I went back to Shimano brakes from the awful avids. Know ill feel the same getting a Shimano rear d. And triggers. Wont have any spare cash for beard grooming kits and leg wax but I'll live with that. At least vital didnt market it as "the cheapest 1x setup" as have the all the other marketing mags reporting the nx this morning.
