12/9/2024 10:01pm Seems surprising given that GasGas' parent company is undergoing self administered bankruptcy. Can't be too much budget for them or Husqvarna in the cycling world.

12/9/2024 2:22pm In the winter I switch to Maxxis 2.3 DHF/DHR tires. If you're looking to save a little bit of weight, the 2.4 Dissector is also a suitable option with it's fairly open tread design. I tried the Forekaster, but found it suffered in terrain filled with rocks and roots do to the low surface area of the knobs, and worked...

oh damn, that brings back memories! was part of the OG lifecycles crew bitd (tyler was our fearless guinea pig); did some work on colin's trail on sumas (@ 15:00) - a fine mix of burly & janky. pretty neat era, in retrospect (absolutely no nostalgic compulsion to ride the sketchy structures of yore, tho).

My hunch is the same. Usually when people ride their bike chainless they report that they could go up in damping/spring rate. I’m thinking get data from normal control runs, and data from chainless runs, and those should be your upper and lower limits for suspension performance. I’d expect to find that the better the pedal kick solution, the closer your suspension performance will match the chainless runs.

Lots of thoughts to share RE: Pierer Mobility AG (KTM), but I'm a bit pinched on time. I'll try and post something bigger later. If I got serious and had a podcast this would certainly be a whole episode. Few things... Where to get information: If you want to follow along from the "horse's mouth" always start with Pierer Mobility's IR page - https://www.pierermobility.com/en/newsroom - most everything outside of this is an opinion on this, a CGPT reread of this or some other basterdization of the real press release. What this means: Its too early and I don't know European...

Ken it's wild that KTM thought it was better to own the brand Felt rather than start making bikes under their own name, which they licensed to somebody else. The German article above specifically mentions that approximately half were Husqvarna branded e-bikes beginning in 2023, so it might still track.

KTM Bicycles seems to be pushing this fact they are a separate company pretty hard on their website right now to try and separate the two. Looking into it a bit deeper, Husqvarna moto/ebikes and KTM moto seem to be under the "Peirer Mobility AG" umbrella having the issues, who gave away the Husky e-bikes to their employee's and KTM Bicycles is separate as " KTM Fahrrad GmbH" https://www.ktm-bikes.at/clarification That would be very confusing for a consumer but interesting to see them push away from the clearly sinking cousin.

11/27/2024 1:18pm IIRC KTM MTB is a separate company with a licensing agreement? I'm not sure where the E-MTB portfolio lands though, as there are KTM e-bikes as well as Husqvarna and GasGas e-bikes, the latter 2 maybe being part of the powersports / Pierrer group. Reddit (not an authoritative source of course) mentions this which lines up with my assumption: KTM...

Hi there, Cam here from Outlier MTB. First and foremost, thank you all for your positive comments and support during our recent launch! I see that some of you have been discussing the actual pedal drop on this forum. There have been some misunderstandings that we would like to take some time to clear up. Our Pendulum pedal as it was released has 6mm of drop measured from the centre of the axle to the top of the platform. Most flat pedal platforms are somewhere between 5-7mm above the axle so our pedals are essentially ~12mm bellow your average pedal...
