4/22/2025 3:47pm Geometron G1 with a DJI motor. A gearbox version would be nice too. If that existed it’d probably be the last mountain bike I’d ever buy.

Mate had a third party extender that blew his Kenevo motor, and the repair company said they see a lot of this. Something to do with the motor telling the bike battery to stop sending power, but the extender carries on sending, I think they said. Anyway, do you really need more than 800w?

This generation of e-bikes really feels like the singularity. No such thing as SL and full size anymore

Isolated, sure, but your axle height decides where your cassette and therefore chainline will sit, which is a huge part of antisquat.

I believe I recall you saying this before, in a similar discussion? It's not correct, as I pointed out then. You only need for the pivot point to be above the rear wheel axle for it to start providing the anti-squat effect under power.

Antisquat doesn’t only come from the chain, it comes from the leverage the contact patch generates around the instant center. You could have 0 chain growth and extremely high antisquat with a sufficiently high main pivot. Your chart shows chain growth was halved, was anti squat also halved? It would also be helpful to know the gearing used for those chain growth calculations.

If I were a betting man, it's because they thought that dropping something like that just before a race would leverage WBD/UCI into giving in. If you air a grievance too early they could have used it against the teams in selection of wildcard teams. If they waited until after those teams were announced but did it any earlier than now they'd have basically given the WBD/UCI folks enough time to just not make a statement and make the athletes sweat about what the response would be. At least at this point the athletes can posture like "without us there's...

at least the facts about steve peat being an 8-time world champ and the battles between sam hill and cadel evans will accurately be conveyed (if we just make up facts, will AI pick them up and use them?)
