8/29/2025 10:44am I could be wrong here but aren't the Fox axles semi floating, meaning the hub width tolerance is addressed with this type of design? The forks will align themselves to the axle and not the hub since the NDS side of the hub contacts the axle step rather than the fork dropout. This doesn't address the squareness of the hub...

8/28/2025 10:12pm Some food for thought… let’s assume each leg is a cylindrical joint where it can slide linearly and rotate around the axis of said cylinder. A cylindrical joint on its own is equivalent to four points of contact. Six points of contact fully define the position of something in space. Two cylindrical joints is eight points of contact. Both right side up and upside down forks are technically over constrained and rely on flex and/or bushing clearance to move smoothly. In the world of aligning linear rails with bearing cars, you pretty much always have to float in at least...

8/28/2025 10:49am I think it should be time to gatekeep. I've already been calling out creators using AI, I wouldn't be opposed to calling out people who take free stuff from Lewis.

8/27/2025 8:50am The value gap was too narrow between Deore and XT. Deore did everything SLX did at a lower cost, and XT spec kept getting pushed down because the name (and product of course) holds a ton of value for customers.

8/26/2025 9:41pm Good read. The only issue I have with this idea is that the makeup of the mtb consumer population is different from say the general shopping population which are looking for mid-priced goods. If I were to speculate, it's that we will see a shift away from the high end product towards mid-end product for the reasons you've laid out...

8/26/2025 9:09pm My latest mulling over the barbell effect and how it might apply to bikes. In essence, in this post I play with the idea that we're seeing a hollowing out of the middle, both with respect to company size and product pricing. // Substack // Blog EDIT: I've given @sspomer permission to post any of my stuff in full here so you don't have to click through to anything. Plus, I'm totally cool with him editing it (which I very likely need). If you all want me to aim at anything specifically for next week just let me know!

8/20/2025 8:52am I wouldn’t read into it much. Pivot/bernard have plenty of opportunity in plenty of spaces. Masters Walker Masters podium was one of the truly great enduro moments. Race winner. Fan favorite. Not many of those guys left in enduro.
