Can I patent the ole one eye squint? For real tho, equalizing the gap on each side between the sanctions and bars is way easier than aligning the stem with the tire.

Can we at least get a [post deleted for embargo reasons] or something, as a placeholder? It would make the forum threads a lot less confusing. Your backend is in php right? I'd do it for free!

Good question. Slight tangent, but I’ve been toying with the idea of launching a monthly podcast where I unpack stuff like this. I didn’t think people would care, but when you break it down in a way that maps to our world, it actually seems to land. And honestly, it’s way easier for me to riff on this in audio form than hammer it out on a keyboard. Anyway, I read through the last few pages of comments, good to see Revel back from the dead, by the way. I’ll probably share more thoughts on that later (maybe). For now...

I remember when these sorts of things were all the rage. I think I have 5-6 of the Dakine tube/tool holders lying around the house. I don't know why I have so many - a couple were giveaways from reps, I found one by a dumpster, I might have even purchased one.

This is a very elegant solution and makes perfect sense in the economics of product development.

5/21/2025 2:41pm Honestly, if this whole thing convinces the current VC money trend of entry, short term profit at the expense of bleeding a company dry and destroying long-term viability followed by an exit to stay out of our industry for a while, then I'm pretty happy about that.

Really interesting to watch these private equity firms continuing to sell these brands back to their former owners. You would think buying a large property with resources behind you would be more difficult than managing it. But apparently not.

Sell it at peak COVID, buy it back for pennies on the dollar in peak tariffs. The only way to make money in the bike industry?

Most 15mm axles are hollow aluminum. The easiest solutions to making them stiffer is to not hollow them out, and/or to make them from steel or titanium. I've not done the calculations ( @Primoz, didn't you do that?), but I imagine it could be as stiff as thin walled aluminum 20mm axles. If you look at huck to flat videos it seems that the worst of the flex is at or around the crown. The most productive solution for single crown forks might be to return to 100mm OLD - a 10% narrower CSU would be 10% stiffer.

5/15/2025 11:08am Remember when pros were putting those "anti vibration" stickers all over their bikes because they contained magical crystals or electronic circuits or something? From one of the manufacturers: " If materials with different electron leakage work are brought into contact, a contact potential difference is formed. This represents a voltage that causes the electrons with a lower electron work function...
