Rims aren't forever, but some Chris King and similar quality hubs sure feel close.

That's the new Spur. Release this March or April.

Whoop recently laid of Jeremy Powers and a few of the other people who secured the loot to pay for the title sponsorship. (Whoop is tech startup out of Boston… they aren’t in the bussiness of making money yet…?). The last time I rode with Whoop’s marketing staff in August, they didn’t make it sound like the company was in great shape… Hansen’s Fructose Water, on the other hand… 👍

Mo awesome hiding something from transition. Has a 34sl and the cable insertion is not the same as the current spur

Ballast Bro?

I dig this question and am gonna save it for a future pod to chat about! And on that note, we aren't recording this week or next. I'm going to be traveling so unless Lars or Spomer feel extra motivated to chat we will see everyone in Feb.

Rumour - new Canyon enduro bike coming? I wanted to check out the Strive geometry after the latest Jack Moir video and noticed the current model is no longer listed.

It's not a knowledge or concept problem. It's an attitude problem. PVD is TOXIC.

Yes to both. I rinse with water first, follow up with a couple squirts of iso, then let em dry while disassembled. If I'm feeling frisky I'll blast em with the compressor. I got to thinking about it as one of my original mineral oil kits had a seal swell up, which was a bummer since I paid for the 'factory approved kit', i.e. way too much for a couple fittings and a cheap syringe..... I'd been doing this with my DOT kit for years and decided if it was good enough for granddad it was good enough for the...

For my DOT brakes I have a water filled spray bottle (same one I use for ride wrap). Since DOT is hygroscopic, you really don't need anything more that water to do a thorough cleanup. Once in a while I also rinse the syringes with the same spray bottle and throw the water as hazardous waste. For my mineral fluid brakes I clean up using a Iso 70% spray bottle. I don't use 99% because it evaporates too quickly. Water and mineral/oil are immiscible hence a solvent is needed.

handlebar diameter thread started - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/mtb-handlebar-diameter-debates-31-8… take the discussion there, please.

so, after CS length war this turned into 31,8 vs 35 bars discussions… can we please keep it tech RUMORS/INNOVATION in here?! maybe open up a new 31,8 vs 35 thread if such doesn‘t already exist.

More or less the same (upgrade on the cheekbone instead of the arm), except that over here we're not complete asses to people with a different government setup neither are we jealous of them...
