There won't be any littering because anyone that drops a weight by accident will INSTANTLY notice the change in suspension performance

Yeah, I get your concern about littering trails with cheap stick-on weights as they inevitably fall off. Littering is lame. There are a lot of possible solutions to that though, by wrapping anything around the weights and the downtube, like tape or cloth or what have you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI27HM81SS0

Welcome to the thread.

Newmen's latest road wheels called, they'd like a word with you.

Brendog for the Down, Nino for the Country. makes sense to me.

Actually just ball needle valves, all about being lightweight.

Maxxis are the undisputed kings of SKU-creep and the DHF has been racking up SKUs for decades. We'll all be on 36" wheels by the time they finally shift the last one. They still have the HR2 and the old Dissector listed on the international site.

This bit is hilarious to me

FYI, it's all over the internet in .PDF form.

I used to do this but stopped as that extra mm is critical for mounting tires on Flow EX3 and Reserve rims. The new Schwalbe Radials are not easy to mount either and basically require a Cush Core Bead Bro. (The previous gen radials weren’t bad though) I just check my spokes periodically and if ones broken, try to bend it around another or unscrew it from the nipple if I have my pliers. If all else fails I carry a Tubolito tube which is so small and light it could fit in your pocket. I don’t see them talked...

I love that you think gearboxes will become ubiquitous on ebikes and will entirely replace mechanical derailleurs and electronic battery-powered derailleurs and electronic hard-wired derailleurs and autoshift derailleurs and internally geared hubs, instead of becoming one more option among a confusing sea of options and pricepoints, like everything else in the bike industry. If only it were that simple.

You do a lot of brush clearing with your face? On the plus side lots of mounting points for handguards.

Obvious problem - where do you mount your GoPro? 😉
