Bruh shut up alreadly and post a tech rumor

I’m getting the vibe this is a word salad thing for everybody. Maybe try this: The chain “knows” when to shift because of how the system/cassette is designed. Or even better: the chain “knows” what to do after the derailleur instructs it to move. Almost sounds like I’m describing a mechanical drivetrain…

contrary, it would be the first thing on marketplace, old cable eagle for the win, tried many of both and old eagle is still the best for me

I've done the same - 12S XT to an XT/Deore based, 10S linkglide mix.

That’s just the thing though. These bigger companies don’t want you to have a choice. I figured most of us would’ve accepted that by now.

How much do you know about capitalism?

Can we get a bike check on this thing?

This has been true for decades. The top of the market, most expensive, most desirable goods are shockingly stable no matter what the economy as a whole does. People buying $12,000 and up bikes basically fall into 2 groups. 1. Dedicated hardcore riders who aren't paying full retail, and are throwing the $12,000 bike into a $1,000 car. 2. People with enough free cash that a $12,000 purchase doesn't make a difference to them. The guys who put their $15,000 road bike on top of their Porsche 911.

gonna catch some downvotes for this but man Santa was already making the most boring bikes for "rad dads" out there in either various shades of vomit or colorways trying too hard to appeal to the cool kids (watermelon nomad lol), going wireless only is making them even less appealing to me. yeah free bearings etc and the build quality is good from what I've seen, but they lost all their coolness factor at the latest when Roskopp left, now it's just a lifeless husk for PON to milk the bikers who want to overcompensate by means of the name...

I think this qualifies as Innovation. If not, sorry. Interesting Concussion Prevention Tech @ 28:03. I have never heard of this device but it sounds interesting. https://youtu.be/q0daQB20P9Y?si=4tJQdPMGJ373dyc7 More info here. Q30 Sports Science: Science of Brain Safety

Isn’t it funny how this is a known issue yet nobody gives shit to Specialized for the amount of failures while other brands that have a few broken frames here and there ( that get replaced under warranty) takes shit for years and years?
