11/27/2024 3:31pm Ken it's wild that KTM thought it was better to own the brand Felt rather than start making bikes under their own name, which they licensed to somebody else. The German article above specifically mentions that approximately half were Husqvarna branded e-bikes beginning in 2023, so it might still track.

I mean it may seem comical in a way but theyre thinking ahead. They know people are going to do this anyways. Or at least are curious to do this. Why not just make it a 1 stop shop.

11/27/2024 8:54am Having spent a bunch of time on the new Optic, it actually does make sense. It's the single best descending 125mm bike I've ever ridden, and with the x2 you can easily stroke it to just shy of 140mm. It pops, it's agile, it jumps extremely well, it plows. On single black chattery tech I kept up with my buddy...

Same thing. You remove the UDH to install a T-type derailleur.

11/26/2024 10:06am This is actually one of crazier things I've ever read about bike industry stuff. This is like one of those stories from the 70s or 80s that we now chalk up to "it was a different time!". Like when Sadam ordered a ton of GM cars and then didn't pay for half of them when they all started breaking in...

11000!!! Given away!!! That might make a little impact on the Euro used e-MTB market for a while, you think?

11/25/2024 2:39pm Can I run them on my fatbike? Another thing to consider is you might lose dropper post max drop if you're already at- or near- maxed. EDIT: Regarding this self-righting feature, can they reliably be crank flipped?

I've always thought Frameworks tagline should be, "Frames that make sense, with cranks that make none."

11/24/2024 8:11pm I know this is framed as a joke but I know so many people who got same day local service with We Are One on rim warranties and wheel rebuilds.

The benefit of having things made locally is that you can go berate the supplier who (invariably) screwed up in the span of a day and deal with it in your own language without translators screwing you over.

11/23/2024 2:08pm But at this point what categories are they missing other than (O)XC? I'd argue the Druid covers a wide enough breadth that it covers the trail/Am category nicely. Are they ready to pivot away from FS and get some hardtails out there? Other than the long CS doesn't really seem like their thing. You're right about the 5dev/aliexpress stuff, we'd...
