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?

It's not the bearing. It's the chain wrapping onto and off a sprocket. With a small idler, the angle each link has to rotate is very large. And it's happening in the taught part of the chain unlike the rear derailleur. But I've explained everything in my original long post. Now this debate, besides being offtopic, has serious vibes of trying to explain things to @seanfisseli, so much so I was convinced @Trocko might be an alterego. Looks like I was wrong about that one 🙂

Does anyone know when these get released? I heard the MT is for sure the replacement 140.

Take it easy buddy. I’m not trying to derail the entire conversation but also think it’s allowed to have an aside now and again. There’s plenty of off topic quips that go on in this thread.

I think a better reason is because Ford was a nazi sympathizer. That said, we have more than likely all owned products from companies with ties to the nazis sadly.

Speaking of pinkbike, it's been down all morning ON THE SAME morning as the Department of War starts releasing classified docs on aliens?? Coincidence??

my 2 cents after spending some time on the bike is that I really want to spend more time on the bike. A couple anecdotes here: I was surprised at how well it pedalled and the lack of heft that I was expecting after looking at it. After giving it back for a month I had to film on it with no time to get familiar again. First trail was a rapid North Van classic that I have ridden a bunch and I was immediately sending it. It was extremely poppy while still being planted, able to pull for all...

Hardtail bro went from legend to villain real quick lol. In all seriousness that fucking sucks Wyn, hope you have a speedy recovery.

Rumor has it this also works on a MTB 😂

At the beginning of April, DT Swiss launched their new EX1700. XD and HG Slim hubs are standard offered hubs in those complete wheels:

It’s a satire page. Once you’re aware it’s great entertainment.

2026 and you guys are still complaining about motors on bikes. Please find a different thread.

I hope he looked over the warranty information, not sure if he is covered for that.

As a prototype it might be mirrored and the hex bolt heads are just on the other side

The funny thing is... the garbage can is still the most important tool for cushcore install....
