I’ve owned nearly every generation of Boxxer between 2004 and 2020. They’re perfectly fine for reliability. Have you ever even owned one, or are you just shitting on it because you saw a photo online? BTW, if you blow up that G-Out photo and hold up a ruler, it’s nowhere near as deflected as it looks. The number plate and decals are an optical illusion.

10/6/2024 4:14pm He kept saying "BIG", which to be was a hint of sorts... So who's tall and out of contract? My unfounded guesses are either Benoit and commencal on fmd... Or fmd running Atherton frames with Kolb. In my mind, the Atherton makes a bit more sense as Tahnee has a huge social media presence, which the dragons den investment behind...

10/3/2024 8:21am The saddest thing about this image is that AI thinks the most typical full sus mountain bike has a motor. And headset cable routing. 😢

"IIRC average height in the US is 5'9" for adult males" This explains the proliferation of massive, lifted, 6l pick ups perfectly.

9/25/2024 11:24am That 8 tooth idler pulley/motor drive/whatever the heck it is, is a curious "design" choice.

Sorry to say, but from what I have found out from either personal experience of from other suspension service centers in central Europe, bos is not using any proprietary seals and certainly weren't using them back in 2016 either. It's only "certified" suspension centers that for some reason refuse to visit the nearest o ring store that had the problem. The were all regular metric seals/wipers available immediately and for pennies and if you so desire in multiple compounds so you can try to improve already good frictional properties. And till recent forks with 39/42 mm stachioned forks even fork...

Transmission, it's weaknesses, and "solutions" for those weaknesses all seem kind of insane to me. Hey we have this little uvula looking thing on the back of frames which the derailleur attaches to. Usually, derailleurs aren't that expensive these days but just in case, it's meant to bend instead of allowing the derailleur to break. Because our frame is made of steel, we can usually just bend it back for free! How nice! Since we moved on to alloy/carbon, we had to make the hanger its own item. We went with aluminum alloy so it's stiff and light, but if...

Sorry champ, but our Apollo program used the metric system, and the Soviet Union landed plenty of things on the moon other than humans. More importantly, does the UCI hate miles or privateers more? 😁

9/10/2024 11:34pm Don't. I've been there with a commute of ~50mins each way and while I miss the podcast time, the 8 minute cycle commute I now have is infinitely better. Somewhat back on topic, I'm curious if Needle's last chance qualifier campaign got any traction with the powers that be.

9/4/2024 2:43pm https://www.bikeradar.com/news/shimano-cues-drop-bar More gravel than a MTB rumour (please don't nuke me), but I'm excited to see cues brifters finally on the horizon. I have some old XT calipers in the shed which have been waiting for some hydraulic brifters. And what are gravel bikes but 90s mtbs with drop bars? 😅

9/2/2024 9:48am The "ass saver" style one puts the battery right in the water spray. What could go wrong? Might as well just hard wire the derailleur in to some solar cells, by which time you might as well just connect the shifter with a cable, which can work in the dark and doesn't need ridiculous charging gimmicks
