Ahh, this is valid and I completely missed it :0 30% sag is 50mm travel, so yeah there must be a good amount of rotation on that bottom link in order to push the rear back that much that early in the path.

The unlocking market has been a thing since e-bikes were a thing. Strangely seems a lot less popular on this side of the pond but you can buy a speed-limit delimiter for every single system out there already.

This marketing copy reads like it was written by AI trained off of 90s mtb print magazines

100% believable to not throw shade on the jump that severely injured TWO important World Cup downhillers in an afternoon. Media will justify any narrative to appeal to a broader base & appease the pockets.

I really loved littermag. Can anyone explain the vital connection and when clappin yo dome II will be released?

I mostly notice extra weight when popping off of stuff that isn’t intended as a jump, like gapping off a root etc. For my straight air “style” of jumping I don’t feel a real difference on proper built jumps unless I’m trying to do a nose bonk or yank the front up higher.

I think my sight is 23ish with dh casing/cushcore/800wh/coil rear/38 and the only place I notice the weight is jumping. And overall my upper body gets more sore but that might just be because of more laps.

I bought an EXe when they first came out and bought a second battery at the same time. Back then, you could purchase a second battery for a couple hundred dollars more than the range extender. They weren't really anticipating people doing this. You had to separately buy all the brackets to attach to the battery to attach it to the frame. I think the pricing spread has moved substantially. If you ride places where it's common to cruise back by the trailhead during the ride, this setup is amazing. I also picked up a power station on black Friday...

The 8-hour training actually makes perfect sense if you think about it. If you’re going to force a 12-year-old to commute electrically assisted/throttled in a 6-inch painted gutter next to 5,000lb distracted SUVs going 50mph, they probably need Stroad-warrior level tactical training. Why build a protected bike path for $1M when you can just blame the kids for not having a Ebike Safety Certificate while they dodge F-150s?

100%. If I see AI used to replace a creative thing, I'm out.

As much as I like Charlie's output, the use of AI images in thumbnails makes me scroll on past.

I was there but didn't take the picture. That dude was a LEGEND! And so nice!
