Well, the 'Lever' refers to the entire assembly, whilst the bit that your finger moves is called the 'lever blade,' It's been this way since forever, SRAM, Shimano, Clarkes and so on all call the movable part of the lever the blade. It's just how it is. Alternatively we can call it the lever and then when you're ordering one you have to explain you want the lever for your lever but not the whole lever.

That's a very, very pretty bike. Printed steel parts, there's something you don't see every day. PS, I hope this is the indeed the year of the steel FS bike, they're sweet.

The trailer music for Earthed 3 is burned into my brain permanently. I lost the DVD long, long ago but now I can see it again. Great!

fix-the-spade Added a reply to Prototyping during race season, yay or nay?
3/18/2024 8:25am All of Cotic's FS bikes have the shock mount glued to the downtube. I've heard of a couple of failures, but they've been using that design for 10+ years now so probability dictates one or two will fail. There's plenty of aircraft with major assemblies held in place by glue as opposed to welds.

3/17/2024 1:22pm Until the other guy comes along with a prototype frame/fork/tyres that gives him/her a free half second per run. In pretty much all top level motorsports the drivers are in prototype equipment that gets updated and developed as the season progresses, same for road and track cycling. Using the 'proven' equipment is an easy way to fall behind, I don't...

1/15/2024 8:07am Any time I get new bike lust I get a demo and ride it back to back with my current bike. So far the Cotic Rocket has seen off all challengers, although an Enduro 29 came awfuly close a couple of years ago. However, I mainly think that if I can afford to spend thousands on a bike, I can...

1/13/2024 10:52am You say that, but I don't believe they've released a new model since 2018. I'm not convinced Ellsworth hasn't become some sort of elaborate tax dodge for Tony and chums to funnel money through and 'lose,' in the process.

Way back when I was in college in Lincoln, I used to see a guy riding one of these down through the Temple Gardens. Watching him send it down the many steep flights of steps and banking was a nice break from doing actual work. Plus I was dead jealous.

If you had perfect eyesight and traveled to completely dark skies in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and there was no Moon, you might be able count 9,000 stars. WBD gets at least 9000 stars.
