3/16/2025 6:59am ^this. You can always ride with a “too short” dropper but you physically can’t pedal a bike with too long of a dropper. It’s better to allow people to ride their bike out of the box. Keep in mind the majority of people don’t care about a super long dropper, and that majority also doesn’t have the wherewithal to deal...

2/20/2025 10:34am I’m not sure why so much focus on speed here. A lot of marketing doesn’t talk about speed. I change bikes for comfort (fit, suspension, ride feel, and pedal feedback) and for more capability (geo, suspension). I don’t generally hear people switching bikes because they are faster.

1/29/2025 5:45pm Don’t forget about stfu chain dampers that stop the chain from oscillating and pulling on your cranks. And would you throw a lower guide into this group? Eliminating the derailleur moving with compression.

12/10/2024 7:40am I think all that could be a fool's errand. While pedal kickback is obviously a thing, what are we actually trying to solve? Suspension performance? Feet blowing off pedals? Jarring feelings through the feet? Pedal kickback was the first term described to cause these issues. It's catchy and easy to say so people latched on to it. O Chain jumped...

12/7/2024 9:01pm Doubles and gaps are made to save time, effort and dirt. It is substantially less work and that why you usually see it on hand built trails. The gap also means less maintenance as punters don’t roll the lip and ruin the shape. It also filters out people who should not be hitting it. You could see more injuries on...

12/4/2024 10:53am Would you say the onyx was better or worse for pedal feedback than something like a dt 54 tooth?

12/3/2024 8:53am Hi speed super steeps where your brakes are on the edge of locking up but you're still cruising.

12/2/2024 10:04pm I'm curious to hear more about the STFU chain damper and pedal feedback as I only ever see that in passing comments like yours. What bike did you have it on and notice that? I am also curious if an Onyx hub would reduce pedal feedback, even though it is instant engagement, because it is a soft engagement. Rather than...

12/1/2024 6:20pm You are listing sale prices of those other bikes. That is not what those frames are worth to the builders. But it does potentially reflect what the frames are worth to customers.
