Can we please not turn this into a d*ck-measuring contest regarding who rides which steep thing w/ which gearing?

What if we tried putting a small derailleur on the front cogs, may be just like 2-3 gears, then a 5-7 speed cassette on the rear with another smaller derailleur? Same ratios but better weight distribution?

Man are you riding on sand paper? Mine is like day one after 150km In Rototorua which is pretty easy on tyres but still

I could give this a go, would back to back race sim laps be enough to provide accurate results? At least in a way that it is consistently one way or the other?

Can we rename this thread and make a new rumors and tech one? This one is tainted now.

That’s an attractive mountain bicycle.

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

I've got a bit of time on the Butcher and Eliminator on my Enduro bike and they're legit. I'm coming off of Conti Kryptos and they definitely feel more grippy, I immediately felt the difference in the radial casing as soon as I had them on, the Conti's felt almost wooden in comparison. I was concerned about the Eliminator out back being it's more of a trail bike tire but they're seriously impressive, testing them out with some hard stops on flatter loose / dusty trails I had expected them to slip and drift like my Kryptos but they just...

To be fair, don't they market the new Eddy Current as the recommend rear for ebikes? Eddy Current

Excuse my French, but could we fucking please stop calling bikes "analog", "acoustic", or -the worst I've heard- "bio"? Bikes are bikes. Ebikes are something else. Now get off my fucking lawn you punks!

LOL

WTF are they doing? Seriously.

Wtf is this
