I did a thing you can install on your chrome based browser (basically completely 100% stolen from the cloud to butt plugin) I present Horst Link to Crab Link Chrome based plugin! https://github.com/DServy/horst-to-crab See it in action here! Edit: Please, no one actually use this.

DServy Added a reply to Bike travel bag for mtb 29in tubless
10/2/2024 11:22am I've flown a lot with the previous EVOC pro bag (I think its now the standard bag) and have never had to take the tires off. Even had it work fine with cushcore and 2.5 WT maxxis. I make sure to put the front wheel in before the frame and the rear wheel on the side that zipps up.

10/1/2024 12:25pm Sir, this is a wendy's.... But in all seriousness for MI and Specialized is that someone buys the IP from them and then can recoup some of their development costs. The idea there being enough consumers who want suspension data AND are willing to put up with Specialize's BS is a pretty slim market. I'm still super hopeful MI still...

9/16/2024 6:12pm My plan is to wait it out to we hear from them on what they are planning on doing. Best case is that someone else swoops in and buys the IP and product and plans to make it commercial. I got the sense from the email that they are looking at options to bring MI2 to market in some capacity...

9/16/2024 10:17am Yeah, its a massive bummer since system two seems like it would be the easiest to use. I have a v1 and its okay, but was really looking forward to what v2 brought to the table.

9/16/2024 9:41am Massive bummer for those of us with a MI2 on order: From Motion Insturments Hello, We have some unfortunate news to share with you. In 2021, there was a change of control event with Motion Instruments. At the time, this was a game changer for us and gave us the capital needed to accelerate development of a new system built...

9/9/2024 3:09pm I mean, F1 has made up plenty of rules on the fly... Like every stewarding decision ever and who could forget Abu Dhabi 2021. So I'd say they are on par with F1 in that respect.

8/30/2024 8:59pm Fernie should be for sure on your list as well. It's just a fantastic little town with some of the best riding I've ever done. Revelstoke and Nelson also have some amazing riding. The best thing about BC is that every place seems to have their own style. I've biked a lot of places in BC and all of them...

8/28/2024 5:41am So, for what its anecdotally worth, the overnight bleed cup has fixed wandering bite points on multiple sets of shimanos that have rolled through my garage, and provided actual consistent magura bleeds after wiggling the caliper around a bit. I've done it on pretty much every mineral oil brake I've seen on a bike build, or owned (shimano, magura, TRP...

8/27/2024 3:46pm I'd give the overnight lever bleed a try then. Couldn't hurt.

8/27/2024 3:01pm I think I've figured out how to get the wandering bite point, and also how to solve it when you get it. I do think the wandering bite point is caused by not bleeding (lever bleed or full bleed) without the contact adjustment fully wound out. Even a couple clicks wound in will cause some wandering bite point issues. So...

8/18/2024 3:01pm I had re-bleed my rear a few times to get it to feel the same, one thing that seemed to help was to pull a vacuum in the syringes and degas the mineral oil as much as I could. I recently got some adaptors for my pinner bleed cups and I'm hopeful that I can just leave the bleed cups...
TEAMROBOT Liked a comment about Feature Can a Pedal Kickback Denier See the Light?
8/18/2024 8:23am
I guess I'm confused by your writing. You said the chain isn't straight so "the chain cannot pull on the chainring," but then in the next sentence you said "the chain is heavy and the oscillations of the chain create a pull on the chainring." Similarly in your top post you said "yes, ochain works, but no there is not a pedal kickback issue" but then in your second post you said "the pawl-less hub does exactly what ochain does." If the pawls of the hub are being engaged, that is pedal kickback, no? If a spinning hub is being...

Then how do you explain the benefits felt on the pawless hub test?

I always thought pedal kickback was also related to gearing ratio as well, so you experience way less kick back effect the further down the cassette you shift.

7/31/2024 8:21am You can take transmission's pedal under load single button multishift from my cold dead fingers. Being able to just press a button and go ham on the pedals to get up an unexpected climb is so useful. And before you mention that Shimano says you can shift under load, just know that I've had multiple xt/xtr drivetrains shit the bed...
