From a buyers perspective, 20mm axle sucks, as DH bikes seem to be fading, and the popularity of DH hubs with it. I’m assuming it has some serious upsides for stiffness etc. But most will need a new hub, which is like $100-200 + spokes and labor. Worse if you have multiple bikes because they may no longer be swap able between bikes.

We talk about the tech and the rumors until there is new tech and rumors to talk about. I don’t understand what you haters are getting confused about. Thread derailleurs are part of the game, baby.

Do you wake up every day wondering "who can I be a d1ck to on the Vital Forums today"? Assuming good intent and extending a modicum of kindness takes almost no effort; give it a try!

It's blatantly obvious that Lewis just straight up copies prestigious products with the objective of selling them to people who love the looks/bling factor of the absolute high-end stuff but don't want to pay for it. The structural integrity of the design has nothing to do with it.

We really, really need to bring the hammer down on this IP theft. Not only are they stealing ideas and patents from people who have spent good r&d money on developing their ideas, they haven't done the r&d, so there's far less understanding of the decisions that led to the original design. It's wholly unsafe and not to be mistaken for simply reverse engineering existing components. I don't understand why they can't just make new stuff???

The track world is itself quite an obscure cycling niche though. Full disclosure: I designed the first Felt track bikes.

Really don’t get the dumb dislikes on the previous post, the black ones ( I got 3 all in full black with the last 3 warranties ) are the latest stock apparently, and after some torch inspection no, there’s no extra seal around the pins, so they will keep failing with moisture staying trapped causing the spring to corrode or something.

North Shore Indoor Bike Park (on THE North Shore, Van BC) is getting killed by pickleball. It appears they are carrying on and moving out to the lower rent, and less geriatric zone of Maple Ridge. There's an interesting side story here of how the popularity of pickleball appears to be competing for, and taking over spaces that smaller groups of people enjoy, like tennis courts, outdoor skate parks, and indoor rec facilities for more niche sports. We're getting a new indoor facility in Calgary eventually, hopefully with better investment and business model to keep it alive: https://unreal-yyc.com/

Far be it from me to suggest a new thread to the person who suggests new threads, but I’d personally love to see some of the bizarro crap that ends up in front of your eyeballs, Spomer. ‘Uncle gordo’s Inbox’, perhaps? *edit to correct Gordon to gordo
