What I took away from this Charlie is that you’re still riding 175mm cranks

I could see these being a helpful training tool for isolating different skills in a coaching environment (like doing drills with only one ski), but to me these things look terrible for general use. And I don't just mean because you can't pedal, I mean I wouldn't want to ride skate parks, dirt jumps, or pump tracks with these. Or A-Line. I don't want to keep my crankarms dead level when I'm riding. Dropping an outside foot lowers my leverage point on the bike by 175mm. Why would I want to lose that? Also, when I'm pumping, I can move...

Forget belts and chains, what about a wheel on the spindle that drives a counter-rotating wheel to spin the rear wheel?

My understanding is that the orientation of the piggy back has no effect on performance, so it is just a matter of fitment and appearance.

Any reason for the rotated piggyback? Other than some frame fitment thing?

I replaced my shock end bushings with needle bearings and the suspension is just smoother. Been done on 3 different bikes, but all Crab Link so may be different with other suspension designs.

its all true, we just have to wait till May to officially talk about it. The rear der is a work of art, especially if you hate how big and bulky T-Type is.

Between The Tape Liked a forum topic High vs. Low Tire Pressures: Which Is Faster?

1/26/2025 7:07pm

We all know the theory: lower tire pressures mean more grip, and higher pressures roll faster. But when it comes to real-world speed, which one really wins? I set out to answer this with 30 timed runs down the same track. ◾ The Experiment Two sets of tire pressures were chosen for my 88kg (194lbs) weight: 25/28 psi (front/rear) for the higher pressures and 18/20 psi (front/rear) for the lower pressures. These pressures maintain a consistent 0.9 front-to-rear ratio, with the high pressures aligning with recommendations such as those from E13 . After three warm-up laps, each tire pressure setup...

The RS has MIPS Integra Split “ which combines an impact-savvy, dual-density foam layer and a Low Friction Layer between the two, to reduce rotational forces in a crash that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain.” The other speed frames have MIPS Air Node, which actually increases your likelihood of a brain bleed as punishment for not buying the $280 helmet.

$280 USD for the new Speedframe? Does it incorporate a mini air conditioning unit? A button that summons a bike butler to clean and store your bike after you ride? It must come with some kind of wild premium feature to cost that much.
