Honestly, I think the trick check is gonna be a hit. I don’t really care about it, but it reminds me of how ridiculously happy my 63-year-old mom (who still rips a meat bike, btw) gets from that little Garmin “beep” when you get airborne. Riding with her is hilarious because she’s popping off every little thing she can find, then letting out a full-on “whoop” every time it beeps. It’s wholesome as hell.

This product is triggering for me. Years ago, the one and only thing I ever funded on kickstarter was heated handlebar inserts that can be removed and recharged. The guy had a slick video and prototype. I ponied up the $100 dollars for an early adopter and waited. The guy strung us along for months and eventually stopped returning emails and ghosted us on kickstarter. That was the 1st and last time I ever used kickstarter.

I just put it on the floor and stand on it. Add offcuts of 2x4 for extra emphasis if it’s really stuck.

Yeah I agree. I do have both forks at 160mm and can definitely whip something up once I get time on the Lyrik.

Big Bird Liked a reply to forum topic Tire inserts - do you run them?
4/4/2026 10:06pm
After my MS diagnosis and symptoms caused me to stop riding, I got a job at Art's cycles doing bike building/packing and I started a list of new bike tech that would come up that I've never gotten to use. Some of it was from before but I hadn't been able to afford. Inserts are on that list. Along with 27.5 and 29 inch wheels and many more. But I got So good at installing them. Experience installing motorcycle tires helped immensely. But most installs at the shop usually came back to me. Rims have that deeper section for a...

LoamChomsky Added a reply to Tire inserts - do you run them?
4/4/2026 7:56pm For me at least, running CC Pro or Tannus was encouraging me to run lower air pressure, which meant I needed inserts to protect my rims - so I think I was creating a positive feedback loop. No inserts now, just more psi. Though, they’re hanging there in my garage waiting for me to change my mind again …

Had the same problem with 4(!) Magura calipers, I emailed them and they sent me new calipers with pads and a small bottle of their brake fluid. My plan is to use them until they start weeping again and then try trp calipers with Shimano levers.

12/24/2025 2:55pm Once you find the winning combo I am curious what the durability of that system looks like. For example I had some Shiguras that felt great but in every instance I ended up with weepy banjos or weepy piston seals. Is there some mix and match combo of levers-hoses-calipers-fluid that feels good but is unreliable? Really enjoying the experimentation.

The maple leaves came out perfect. The silver one on a circle reminds me of one of the decals on the first year Flatlines. Love it!

Stealth was the frame only colorway for the 2007 RMX. Appears to be repainted like the 2005 frame only colorway (dubbed the "Canuck"). Drop dead sexy build!

I don’t get the stealth part. What’s stealthy? With that beautiful paint it sticks out like a boner wrapped in a Canadian flag …

Eagle derailleur was feeling left out - so I made a thing - replaces the washer on a standard UDH dropout with a "Brace" that links the rear derailleur for strength and stiffness.

I hope any bike company selling integrated headset routing sells exactly zero bikes and kills this trend in it's infancy.
