If the 9mm comes off the non-drive side, that means the rim shifts left 4.5mm to stay centered in the frame. The flange spacing becomes an even 30.5mm on each side. Unless I'm missing something.

Ok, so here's a test case for you. I'm biking with some buddies. We're not young, but we're a long way from the adult-diaper stage of our lives. We're stopped and 2 of them walk off behind trees to relieve themselves, and I joke with them that they need to start wearing diapers. Almost every add popping up in Google...

Ok, so maybe not entirely, but I think a healthy chunk of the ebike market will go that way. I don't own one yet, so really just gaging by the people I see riding ebs around here. Most can't handle maintenance of any kind, so I suspect this will be their preferred option. Probably not for low-power SL bikes though.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a 4mm increase in a 57mm width, is not lost in the noise. It will be a measurably stiffer wheel (if that's what you want). Of course both options beat the crazy drive-side dish on typical 148 12-speed wheels.

Is there an "incognito" mode when I'm having a conversation with someone with my phone in my pocket? I can't tell you how many times Google has feed me ads related to things that were said, but never typed into any app on any device.

This is gonna piss off some folks here, but YT thought I should watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO1ov28Se_o I think the interesting takeaway for me is that it seems like T-Type drivetrains were heavily beefed up, ostensibly to handle shifting under ebike loads, but now throwing eCVTs into the ebike space might pretty much kill the conventional DR-based drivetrains for ebikes of...

Will get me out of the dreaded 10-year doctor visit?

Obvious problem - where do you mount your GoPro? 😉

If I'm doing the math right, with the slim driver, the both flanges move 4.5mm to the right, and the wheel should have symmetric bracing left and right. Probably want to use a rim without offset nipples. Should make for a strong wheel, stronger actually than a conventional 157, due to the symmetric bracing.

Super cool. I'm amazed it took this long for this to show up.

Yeah, I posted this a page or two ago. Dual motor eCVTs were a new discovery for me. Absolutely makes sense for ebikes, but no chance at all of "trickle-down" technology to pedal bikes, as a few folks in the thread had hoped for.

So probably a small change on the frame, plus glovebox and extra bolts for accessory mounts. Hopefully it's not heavier than the Blur 4 frame, but it probably is with the added glovebox. Seems weird to add that to a racing bike, but perhaps SC sees it more as a all-around short-travel bike these days.

Looks like a fun project, but I'm curious how much damage that kind of locking mechanism does to the surface of the shaft. Seems like there will be friction in the system and build up of ablated material inside over time. Nice job thinking outside of the box though.

Solidworks Edit: I forced the angle to be 66 degrees, and it seems to line up well with the fork legs, but doesn't appear to line up well with the head tube. The head tube is short, and likely a bit tapered, so this seemed like the right approach.

66 degrees looks conceivable.

Here's a couple more pics. Maybe someone can pull HTA off of these pics with a bit of sleuthing. Reported number for reach and stack look super close to the current design. They added glovebox. If that's the only change other than color, then perhaps not really interesting.

I don't know for sure, but someone on MTBR posted that size large would have 66 HTA, 75 STA, and adjusted stack and reach. If the HTA number is accurate, that's a pretty massive change - from 68.3. That's close to the Tallboy.

I don't recall seeing info on the Blur 5 here yet, but I think both Tobin Ortenblad and Ruth Holcomb were on it at the BCBR.

My impression has been that most posters in this thread agree that GB with chain or belt have a justifiable place in gravity bikes. It's their use in XC and trail bikes that get pedaled a lot that is still a point of contention. Also, I'm not sure if this is common knowledge here, but a new discovery for me...

How many frames can support a 22 without frame interference?
