PFR is also supported by Shimano. The new shuttles all have the Bosch system while the older ones had Shimano EP8. So it might be a contractual issue that they needed to promote the Shimano motors for a bit longer. However, I've seen them riding the new Shuttles with the Bosch as of recent, so who knows.

Sadly not, I'm actually just a maxon robot motors customer and managed to get a call with the guy because I was interested in the product. Still looking to maybe make my own e bike with their system tho....

I can imagine for a lot of sponsors it's important to be on exactly the correct model year colours, build kits etc. Especially a high profile team like syndicate. One interesting thing I noticed with PFR is they're often not all on latest model/top spec bikes. Training bikes with older groups yes, e bikes being previous models

I was chatting to Maxon ebike manager and he had certainly visited Atherton HQ.... Whether it makes it as the final product will have have to be seen

simple solution for that -> just don‘t watch his content! and now please back to team rumors before this starts to be a BK-bashing thread again.

Facts from the Rumor forum: Nukeproof wants to stay true to its UK roots. Doesn't want to spend the money on a big team with flashy truck. New rider has luscious locks. There are two small (no truck or blue US school bus) UK based teams with Rider/Owners, but only one has long hair. Could we see a Nukeproof camper van pit set up?

I think Vali Höll should star on Team RockShox United by RedBull Leogang Alliance. Different frame every week, the same as whomever’s in 2nd place. Continue roasting. That’d be sick. She could do it.

I have been considering open sourcing my design for several years now. Likely the approach I would take is to provide a carrier board (not dissimilar to an Arduino shield) that handles all the power management, bluetooth, and GPS connections and allow people to manage their own wiring harness, battery selection, 3D printed cases etc. The firmware is all C++/Arduino so its pretty easy to get into. Having a single carrier board eliminates a lot of the headache around integrating all the different devices in different ways and allow everyone to work from a common connector standard (and base firmware...

Did the maths on all the current crop of e bike batteries. They're all within ~10% energy density wise. Everyone is using the same format of cells so I suspect the DJI battery is just longer and thinner. That gives it's own challenges from a weight on bike point of view.

The lines don't easily relate to the physical reasoning behind anti-squat but they are fully consistent (can be derived from the force balance with a bit of trigonometry), and a really useful design tool. It's much easier to visualise the effect of moving pivot points on the graphical interpretation. Remember that all the graphical line diagrams become invalid when there's a moving idler, and if the idler has a different IC to the wheel then the ratio of moment's about the wheel IC is also not correct. Then, it's best to revert to basics; solve the linkage for forces at...

Thanks, that makes perfect sense. The diagrams with all the lines over the front wheel you see in other articles don't really articulate what is happening!

Brining this back from a while ago.... Is anti squat then the ratio of moments about the instantaneous center of the rear swing arm? I.e.sum of the moment from the wheel and chain tension divided by moment caused by accelerating the center of mass?
