If it's any useful, I'm at 80% battery after a month of not too much riding, perhaps 10 days. Also been commuting about a bit on my DH bike because it's too nice to ride haha. First 3 days at the park took it down to 98%. There is a very good chance a full battery charge will have a longer lifespan than my last few derailleurs on a DH bike (while the XT somehow keeps going?) so I might just accept the fact I have a battery now. Until I lose the charger or something, spares may be bit...

The Uber long, Uber slack, Uber low, long travel super enduro isnt' niche to you? I think youre looking at it from todays point of view, cause in 21/22, it was definitely a low volume bike, that was not for everyone, or everywhere. Similar to the Range..... I've been a Norco fan for ages, they have their upps and downs, like most companies. Back in the days of acid green VPS-1's and 2's, they were top tier bikes, but in a segment that was baggy Roach shorts, and old moto gear for protection. They had a weird period in the...

The Effigear reviews sound pretty good! Would love to demo one. I was definitely worried about having to relearn how to shift with a gearbox, but it took me one lap, and now jumping between my bikes I only see the shortcomings on the derailleur side haha. I think a lot of people underestimate the beauty of not having to do that odd pedal stroke while chain is moving from one cog to another. It feels natural until you try an instant shift. I like that the Effigear doesn't need a battery. While the Smart.Shift works great, it feels a...

I had a pair of clearance carbon Rovals on my gravel bike that exploded when I got hit by a negligent driver a couple years ago. Specialized replaced them quickly with a brand new pair that I then sold to the Pro's Closet for nearly what I paid for them originally. I submitted them to the Pro's Closet on a whim rather than selling locally thinking why would anyone buy these wheels when their main selling point (imo) is the warranty to the original owner. I'm assuming TPC bought them to put them on a bike rather than selling them...

specialized saddles are some of the best. I know enough people who pick them over wtb, ergon etc

I own those Roval Traverse HD and they are actually very good! The ride quality compares to Crank Brothers Synthesis carbon wheels with different front and rear carbon layup. People usually scoff at house brand wheels but I have been very happy with the 3 sets of Rovals I have for the different bikes. DT hubs, DT spokes, good rim layup and solid warranty to back it all up. In fact I had a set of the much hyped WeAreOne Union which felt like wooden planks in comparison.

Yeah those Roval rims are pretty decent and backed by Specialized warranty. Their ally ones aren’t great though

I love Norco but Canadian Santa Cruz is gonna be a stretch, and should they even shoot for that? $1,500 Fluids, flat bar gravel/commuter bikes and even a steel gravel bike. These are all awesome! I’ll prolly never sell my road bike (2018 Search with a dropper and flat bars) because it only cost $450 to begin with! But, part of the Santa Cruz brand is you can only have it on your downtube if you pony up. It's bling to some extent. (100% bling on the Vala with it being crab link) The other aspects of Santa Cruz that...

There's no shortage of Ranges in my neck of the woods, which makes sense because my neck of the woods is British Columbia, where there's plenty of Norco dealers and the current Range makes a bundle more sense for the average "enthusiast" level rider in a two bike quiver than the Shore or a bunch of other options. I don't think you're right in statement that it was "never going to be a bike racers actually used in enduro". Maybe it's not the bike that the pros use, but roll up to any enduro race in BC and you're guaranteed...

I feel like every time I've brought that up people start spinning and projectile vomiting as if people haven't been bodging together random rigs for years but... I guess BB heights were high back then and you were almost always RAISING it... So it's def concerning when modern BB heights are practically on the floor and you drop em another 10-15mm I'm always looking at bikes in the 'high' setting and with bikes like a Stumpy that have '3 points of adjusting' I'm wondering how practical it could run 27.5 with 170mm or shorter cranks. 🤔

The clear best solution is to just make water-cooled capable calipers. Water gets cycled through by a pump driven by a little baby pulley wheel on the outside edge of the rotors.

11/4/2024 1:01pm Correct - on Sintered pads it's [braking material][finned alloy plate][steel back plate], while resin is just [braking material][finned alloy back plate]. While it's anecdotal, I am very pleased with the Shimano finned pads. I don't know what the difference is in a compound between D02S, H03C and N04C. However, going from D02S to H03C has made a very noticeable difference...

The pad material is attached to the finned portion and that is attached to a separate backing plate on Shimano pads if I remember correctly.

Just quickly watching the video and reading the comments: Could they have been looking to thermally isolate the calipers from the pads? As opposed Shimano looking to directly cool their pads?
