The internal routing via headtube badge is pretty good looking. Could use some small tabs for an externally routed brake cable though.

I guess I'm core because I made the Tomac/Ridemonkey post.

funniest (and most accurate?) comment ever on youtube.

Jo Jeff, I'm in, at least for Ghost.

Ion Acorn LT for elbow and K-Pact SQ for the knees. Zero shifting and CE level 2. I wouldn't do all day xc rides in them, but they breathe really good and are comfortable enough for 3-4 hour pedal adventures but have the protection to give me some piece of mind racing DH. Was on leatt's before and I hated the fit, and lack of side coverage of the knee. One crash earlier this year resulted in the pad slipping and I hit a nerve in my elbow pretty good. Still get some pain during certain movements, bought the ION's...

As someone who owns multiple Singlespeeds, I wouldn’t even pay that much. I’m currently running a SRAM DH derailleur as a tensioner on my SS epic evo.

I was really hoping we'd see that with the launch of the Demo 11. Something like a modern day HammerSchmidt. If I had a feeling a third party may have to get involved.

Somewhere, Brian Cahal is popping Champagne.

I would assume that this derailleur does not have the new stiffer springs in it? Would like to hear a back to back comparison with the new springs.

In my observation no, nobody stands up while climbing. I came from the old school Kirt Voreis school of climbing, which says to stand up all the time to train your descending muscles. Plus I spent a ton of time on singlespeeds, because it reinforced the Voreis approach, and because it's a fun challenge in a bizarre way, but that puts you and I in a very small camp. Most people on road bikes or mountain bikes will sit 99% of the time and will pretty much only stand to descend or sprint.

As far as I have read, both of these motor gear box units being presented by Gobao and Avinox are being billed as CVT (or infinite gearing) systems. CVTs are rather simple in application. You have two v-groove pullies connected by a belt and the pullies are split in half down lowest point (center) in the same direction of the belt. You then use a series of clutches (in cars, there are other ways to do this mechanically) that draws one V-groove pully together, increasing the circumference of the belt seat (effectively increasing the diameter of the pully) and decreasing...

I wanna know what's up with that Intend dropper post 😁
