Think it through once more. Last I checked Shimano's RapidRise derailleurs died a deserved death almost 20 years ago and are the only ones where your explanation is actually correct. In all other cases (on derailleurs where you PULL the derailleur towards larger cogs, so inwards) you're just going to slacken off the cable. The only thing prevent the derailleur from coming inwards under a hit is the top pulley hitting the cassette (which wasn't a problem until X-horizon 1x11 Sram derailleurs and Shimano nearly horizontal 12spd stuff). If you don't believe me, go to your bike, put it in...

IDK, I think us nerds overestimate the average rider's capacity to care. I used to test a bit and rode uncovered bikes with no graphics - nobody ever asked me about the bikes, even riders on the same brand.

"The Wireless Blips are not rechargeable and need to be recycled with other electronics when they stop working. SRAM estimates their battery life at up to two years, with more frequent riders likely getting a little over a year out of them." a.) planned obsolescence much? And b.) the EU will have something to say about this if I understand correctly (removable batteries requirement and all)

I wouldn’t rather them anything. It’s just amusing to me, a marketing announcement from a company that sent their employees to the comment section the other day pumping up their brand image. I think the word was “Astroturfers?”

Welcome to 2024, when one of a sponsored rider’s attributes is being a giant corporate automaker “ambassador.” “Check out my cool retro off-road vehicle with nostalgia points, and optional catastrophic engine failure.”

I don’t know if I buy this argument, I don’t think the evidence would support your characterization. And just so you know where I’m coming from, I don’t have an e-bike. I do ride my road bike about 15-20 hours per week, mostly all super easy endurance volume that supplements my mountain biking. I do lots of intervals and am generally in such good shape that I won’t ever need to buy an e bike and have no desire to. My thoughts on the issue you’re raising: There’s no way people are getting *less healthy* riding e bikes. Even with...

I guess I should explain my sentiment. Im a personal trainer and I live in a small town. I see a lot of the same people a lot. Like I said, there are the occasional 50+ year olds who ride a lot with them which is really cool. Or the occasional bigger set guy who probably would not be out riding otherwise. But what Im seeing a lot of people my age (25 or younger) getting really lazy, buying an ebike, never breaking a sweat, and getting fatter. Yeah theyre fun. So are dirtbikes. Sure I could go faster. But...

Boxxer was 2.6ish kg, sure light enough, but a 2.3kg dc fork would be even better! The previous 36mm Dorado (not the newest 37mm one) is several grams under 3kg - i know, i have one mounted on the front of my bike!). Both are 20mm axles, i like it more than the 15mm standart, but 15mm is the norm in everything except for dh-bikes. If you don’t have a hub like Hope where you could switch just the end caps, then upgrading to such a fork would require a front wheel as well (or at least a hub). As...

Imagine Shimano releasing a new saint group that looks identical to the one that's been out for 10 years. I'd love that, it would be the best thing they've ever done.
