All

SRAM owes me royalties. I called it in June of last year.

New SRAM stuff is prohibitively expensive. Still buy and use GX Eagle. Why would I need anything else? I’m a gravity rider…my derailleur goes through hell. The last thing I want is to put a $600 derailleur on my bike. Upgrades to shifting? It’s a drivetrain…I click the shifter and the chain changes gear. What is there to upgrade?

Parallel cam-over spring so it adds chain tension in the small cogs and subtracts it in the large cogs. Edit: pulled the pics- don't want to make trouble.

Ok you dingleberries. Rather than debating the merit of which way to mullet your rotors, why not just run 220 front and back?

It has little to do with engine braking. Everything to do with grip. Tldr: Front slows you down with large bursts of power, rear keeps your speed in check with longer duration braking events. Don't need data acquisition to try going 20km/h on just about any surface,then using each brake individually and see how fast can you stop. Or ride down in'n'out burger with front only vs rear only. Pretty sure only one of those options is viable. I imagine the reasoning behind big rotor in the back is heat dissipation, as you'll do a lot more braking in the...

While I would love a USD boxxer, its probably a hand dyno for the shock service guys

Man I hope that the new enduro sells super well, I couldn't care less about specialized but if a non ebike in that travel range sells well it should wake the industry up that there is actually demand for those bikes.

When the Fox flats are new, they are pretty close in terms of grip, but the rubber seems to lose its stickiness over time, which the 2FO does not. The Fox flat shoe is somewhere between the 2FO Roost and the 2FO DH in terms of stiffness and feel.

Stop using AI for frivolous shit.

BigLinkage in here trying to sell their leverage rate conspiracies.

And just like that, I've just learned that being able to switch between 30T and 32T charrings without having to faff with chain length is also one of the many benefits of the Jab over Transmission. Looking at where the drivetrains of SRAM and Shimano have been going lately, Madrone's timing could not have been any better.

What if we tried putting a small derailleur on the front cogs, may be just like 2-3 gears, then a 5-7 speed cassette on the rear with another smaller derailleur? Same ratios but better weight distribution?

I need a high pivot CVT. What should my chainstay length be?

Sounds more like SRAM's approach to product releases.

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.
