All

Let's get rid of air springs and spring springs. The future is electromagnetic suspension ala the Bose car suspension they briefly made ages ago. I think materials science will have a lot to say about future bikes and definitely manufacturing methods. ABS is already starting development, it's likely that will rapidly progress, and when it does traction control for e-bikes will be right there. Wheels still brake often, let's fix those.

It would be a nice bike to see for sure. I think there are some very local initiatives for that, boosted by circular economy and sustainable development -the German bike market is a good example for shared perspectives and innovations I suppose w/ Intend, Actofive, Liteville, 8Pins, Pinion, Nicolai... Regarding these ideas there's a lot going on here in France -mostly with urban bikes stuff but still, very good ideas to share. - Ultima bike with thermoinjected recycled plastic frame (kinda reminds me of GG's process) + Motion forks + Valeo/ Effigear motor & gearbox combo and I think Baramind...

If it doesn't come with a 14 speed cassette I'm not interested. As a side note Allen Millyard is now regularly to be seen on a UK TV show where he uses his engineering prowess working on old bikes and cars. You also get to see his 8000cc 500bhp V10 motor cycle (Dodge Viper engine, nuts)!

Waki was more steam punk than anything lol. The shit he used to type out was crazy.

Renthal bar and stem. Video is 4+ years old.

No disrespect, but can you please stop posting stuff like this.

Bro you made the same post on the Facebook group and looked like a fool there too. Stop bitching. Go to your local forbidden dealer and order one

Stupid in quotation marks, meaning what might seem stupid to someone is another man's patent kinda idea...

https://www.pinkbike.com/news/sram-patent-shows-compact-motor-x-battery… Can we have a 'stupid ideas' thread where we post any and all stupid idea to do with bikes? Just enough for it to be public to prevent stuff getting patented... Thought about USB-C charging for eBikes 5 years ago -_-

I can guarantee you that 5mm of real travel would make a difference as there actually is a difference, maybe its slightly more room for bottom out ramp up, run a little more sag and a more progressive tune , or maybe you run everything the same and it just gives you 5 mm more travel and 5mm more breathing room - would it make or break a bike ? No… but if it didn’t have any tangible effect why would yeti make lunch ride additions and why would other brands such as Santa Cruz make bikes that can be...

You need to re-learn metric to imperial conversions.

bump because holy crap, this thread is almost 10 years old.
