I’m sorry, if we can’t get mountain bikers to use “loam” correctly, I don’t think you’ve got a chance of educating the masses on “flickable”.

There's more to that Vulcan investment... https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-jr-vulcan-deal-white-ho…

I feel like I can hear the derailleur just by looking at it 🙊

I think there's a business case to be made for lower-cost park bikes now that many peoples' primary bikes are eMTBs. Back in the day, my cohort of friends had a trail bike and a DH bike. Later, I feel like it became an enduro bike and a lighter trail bike (aka downcountry). Now, I imagine a lot of mountain bikers' pairings will either be a park bike and an eMTB, or a XC bike and an eMTB.

Alternatively, Madrone describes how to remove slop from the B-bolt assembly with new o-rings/washers. You don't need to buy their kit, they list the specs in this page and you can source them locally: https://madronecycles.com/collections/sram-upgrade-rebuild-products/pro… Side note: 11sp X01, XX1 (and I think X1 as well) have the "Configuration A" B-bolt mentioned in the Madrone page.

Which derailleur? If it's SRAM GX or NX you could have a worn B-bolt interface causing slop. Deore and NX have soft steel in their parallelograms that is easily tweaked whey they meet Mr. Rock, and then they're basically trash. GX and NX B-bolts are steel and wear the aluminum derailleur body if you do a lot of bumpy miles. Can be fixed with Hall Lock mod where you make the derailleur bottom out firmly on the hanger by modding or shimming the B-bolt. Derailleur can't rotate on hanger any more with this, so wheel swaps are slightly more annoying...

E-bike cable tourism is notorious for friction, it’s worth checking. You also should check hanger for alignment, a new hanger is not the same as a properly aligned hanger, and often the hanger will need tweaking to account for frame tolerances etc. set is up is right, things aren’t worn, and the hanger is straight, then cable routing is next stop.

I fear it doesn't work like that. In Europe we have certain lobbyist and interest groups that slightly differ from country to country but in general it's mostly land owners and hunters/aristocrats who are often the same people or have connections that want basically everyone banned out of their woods. But they can't because it's written into law that everyone can wander the woods on foot and turning over that law would be impossible. But the mountainbikers have a bad Image as reckless adrenaline junkies which is pushed by those groups and the media. So more powerful ebikes will just...

Those 6 bar yeti bikes had reviewers gushing. I’ve had absolutely zero desire to try a switch infinity bike. If they follow through with 6bar non e-bikes I’ll be really trying to give them a shot.

What about leaning the bike with the wheel/tyre against the car's wheel/tyre? That way even if you sit on the tailgate and move the body, the wheel doesn't...

Dumb problem #2: I didn't consider that

Just open up the cage via the pulley bolt and fix it that way?
