God damn that 3d printed dj is cool as fuck. All of the steel enduro frames are also gorgeous. Wonder if spech will cover up the bottom in the end. Just seems like a great way to end a run with 5lbs of glop stuck to the bottom of your rig. I know strapping shit to your bb is really hot right now but I doubt most people are looking to do it ad hoc mid run.

Specialized Production Demo Hiding in plain sight was presumably the production version of the new Demo. It was placed directly next to a prototype frame, and while no specific details were provided, it can be assumed that the bike will be going to market very soon. Some things that stood out from staring at the bike for 5 minutes: Head tube fits different cups, likely to change head angle and/or reach There is a flip chip in the lower shock mount, and the forward-most pivot The bottom of the bike is going to be left completely open like the bike...

Mug’s and replacement units for older e-bikes is actually fucking dope to combine. Kinda figured someone would jump to offer a upgraded motor for old e-bikes, like a smaller TQ unit could be made to fit backward compatible, but going all in on a gearbox and making the whole system serviceable is actually making your clanky-clackattity old Shimano bike relevant again!

This is not radial. "Low Bias" maybe, radial tires have ply oriented perpendicular to the rolling direction, and thats it. No one in this modern "radial" tire fad has made a radial tire yet. All just low bias.

I'm not their target customer, but I applaud using an existing mount standard. There are a lot of used eebs coming through, I'd like to see them repurposed rather than e-waste.

Intradrive Gearbox Powertrain Tucked away in a tiny little booth on a side row was Intradrive. Turns out they're a small Scottish company that's been developing an 8-speed gearbox-equipped motor for eMTB brands dubbed the GD8. Shifting is wireless electronic, there's a 480% range, and the motor can output up to 700w. The founder said that the motors are built and wound in Scotland and that vast majority of the parts and materials are sourced from Europe if not made in-house. There's an emphasis on serviceability, and the unit fits a Shimano EP8 mount pattern. The one on display used...

Psychosis Welding Class Project Not bad for a welding class project! 60-degree static head angle is the play with the philosophy of it living at around 62-63 degrees at sag and cruising up to 66 at bottom out. "I welded the rear end, but my friend, who's a way better welder than me did the headtube. I didn't want that to fail."
