No offense, but my hunch is that a $900 no-name dual crown for Surrons probably rides like a $900 no-name dual crown for Surrons. If you want to jump on that grenade to find out for the rest of us, I salute you, but I don't imagine RFloXa is killing themselves to sort out the finer points of suspension dynamics for the mostly beginner, mostly pavement-pounder Surron market in the same way that Fox, RS, EXT, or others in the high-end MTB space do.

Lewis is using the same black colour!

I didn’t know what you were trying to show in the photos until I scrolled further down and you said 4, but even that is designed differently. The bottom and right ends are square on the Lewis and the cut throughs are in different locations.

That 9-45t cassette from shimano is neat. I've wanted a tighter 12 speed option for a while other than stuff like e13 and garbaruk. I ran e13's 9t stuff for a while and on most bikes it worked well, some bike shapes didn't play nice with the 9t for the most part it worked out well. Shimano had that XTR 10-45t cassette but as far as I could tell it was vapourware; I've never managed to see one in real life. But 9-45t allegedly coming on a bike? XTR LINKGLIDE being 11 speed? This is crazy. it's like they listened...

I asked ChatGPT what Sesame Seed was talking about and to be okay with being brutally honest and distasteful if it wants. Enjoy: This comment seems to be a convoluted attempt at drawing parallels between professional bike racing and motorsports, particularly Formula 1, but it’s a jumbled mess of loose associations and misplaced terminology. Let’s break it down brutally: 1. Chain Drive Skepticism : The commenter kicks off with skepticism about recent changes to bike racing due to “chain drive,” but gives no real details or context for what exactly they are skeptical about. It feels like they are grasping...

I read this twice and I still have no idea what you intended to say other than jaded garbage. You definitely have truly lackluster diction.

You're limited on the outer diameter by the rotor 6bolt BCD or the centerlock interface. A 15 mm axle gives you the option to use a thicker section bearing which means larger diameter balls which means a higher load capacity. FWIW, 20 mm Maxle was effectively a floating axle as the DS part of it also had a wedge with a larger diameter, pushing the hub to the NDS dropout. As for 150 vs 148, 157 is the correct comparison to 148 as 148 uses the 3,5 mm ledges on either side for the hub to sit in the frame...

That has come up before, I think in an interview with Atherton? He looks at additional proprietary measure(s) that he developed and not just AS/AR/LR when he designs the system. But the brands won't say what they are. My immediate thought was that if there's this extra property that you think is beneficial to the owner, but you're not allowed to tell the owner what it is beyond some extremely vague implications about its existence, why should the prospective owner be remotely interested?

You can get really really damn close to any AS, AR*, and LR from any other platform with a linkage driven single pivot. Packaging and aesthetic would have to take a back seat but you would be surprised that all mini link/ dual link bikes can be duplicated in a linkage driven single pivot. * low AR is the one that can't get without a floating brake.
