Atherton is making exciting bikes. I'd go out of my way to check out an Atherton and make a comment if I saw someone with one in a lift line or on a shuttle. I saw a '92 Bridgestone MB-0 ("zed") the other day. That was VERY exciting.

Very tidy - what brand is the logger on Loris' bike? Looking at the pivot bolt mounts - I just ordered a few vented socket screws from Ali express which should hopefully be much easier to tap for attaching shock pots. They have M6, 8 and 10 bolts in various lengths so hopefully a lot better than drilling in a press or lathe. Just note a lot of M10 shock bolts are actually an extra fine 1mm thread and all those are standard coarse threads so double check that first.

Ive done outside on a Kenevo/Enduro/Demo. Might be the best bet on Santa Cruz/Forbidden. Enrico, those 3D print files are super cool! I'll look for some of my files and see if any are worth sharing.

I've been working on some custom mounts for bikes like this - the supernought in particular is extremely tight! With a lot of trial and error I have a clamp system that should fit underneath the shock (its super thin to fit long springs as well) along with soldering a nut to the spring seat so the shock pot can thread straight in to it. If they rose joints could be unthreaded from the body it would be a lot easier! I have a broken AIM sensor I might rebuild to do that job. Also have an arm that mounts...

Hello everyone, We recently posted on YouTube the BYB Telemetry software overview: https://youtu.be/mRd_am4b3uY?si=M7VtNGgi0TP4dl4R It's already "old" because we have introduced new features now. While about the app, we have extended more features now. It's pretty aligned with the software now. You can try it directly from the Google Play and Apple Store. Next week, we will introduce the live data mode as well: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPQdSQSjFoT/ About the open-source topic, we believe in the spirit of open-source. For example, we open-sourced the custom mountings for anyone with a 3D printer. However, running a successful business in this space - whether for data...

I mean the question is what the target idea of such an Open Source system would be. I doubt that anybody other than a manufacturer would be interested in strain gauges. On the other hand for small manufactures it could be interesting. 2 additional ADC channels shouldn't be the big problem for that application. Accelormeter or a Gyroscope would probably ok to just have one on the main PCB. I think the use of those depends but could be interesting. Other than that, if you got some free time, we could toss something up or at least talk about it...

Yes, obviously strain gauges are mostly usable for development of components. But as I said, if you can attach anything in a way where you measure voltage, you could reasonably connect a strain gauge bridge, a linear sensor, an accelerometer, some sort of switch, etc. Then you can measure wheel speed, suspension travel, brake pressure or lever travel, transfer functions below and above suspension, etc.

I have been considering open sourcing my design for several years now. Likely the approach I would take is to provide a carrier board (not dissimilar to an Arduino shield) that handles all the power management, bluetooth, and GPS connections and allow people to manage their own wiring harness, battery selection, 3D printed cases etc. The firmware is all C++/Arduino so its pretty easy to get into. Having a single carrier board eliminates a lot of the headache around integrating all the different devices in different ways and allow everyone to work from a common connector standard (and base firmware...

Floor pumps - tyre & shock, a hand shock pump is sooooo slow and annoying to use in the field, I still bring one but it has a longer barrel on it Tyre pressure gauge Knipex pliers wrenches because of course strap wrench for air cans Valve core tools and spare presta tubeless cores (have had several peoples days held up by clogged valves) spray cleaner and microfibre cloths or rags - particularly cleaning the fork or shock before opening the air spring torque wrench is handy for shock bolts and top caps, I don't use it every time but...
