"Rear Axle." Been covered... Now back to bikes!

just fyi, vital didn't delete anything, but if you quote a post in your reply and that original post is deleted, your reply/quote will disappear too.

It's an old Remy M. video that GoPro randomly posted - it's pre-SC/Redbull Jackson still on a Trek Slash. moving on!

They need to update the Dreadnaught anyways. I bet it will be a 170/170 bike. And maybe different linkages for DH applications.

you know the saying "it looks like a session" it's because it is.

The Alfa Guila is fully brake by wire. The Infinity Q50 is steer by wire. The Infinity is required to have a physical backup, but I haven't heard if there is a backup system for the brakes in the Alfa. Most reviewers complained about the lack of modulation at low speeds making it hard to smoothly stop the Alpha. Almost all modern cars with some kind of driver's assistance including emergency braking have electronic control of the brakes. Most are a tradition braking system with additional computer input not pure brake by wire though.

Liability of wireless brakes is terrifying… I don’t think any cars are doing fully electric brakes yet? cool if someone can make it happen though

Not entirely. One biiiig thing I see is being able to program your lever stroke. I hate shimano brakes due to 99% of the stroke feeling dead then that last 1% is like full lock up it seems. Im not someone who can utilize this. I like to feel a good curve of power. Afterall a good brake should not stop you, but slow you down precisely so youre faster. At least that is my belief.

Wireless brake tech certainly wouldn't be all that complicated. Small motor controlling a little piston that pushes fluid into the calipers. But there is a ton of drawbacks and zero benefits besides no cables (who cares) Lag time from lever to brakes, no real way to create brake feel, you are adding weight in general but all the weight you are adding is unsprung weight.

Hi. A mate said it would be worth posting this on here. I was out riding in the forest of dean at the weekend with my mates, and spotted a guy riding with some strange ass brakes. I couldn't see cables running up to the bar. I tried to get a quick photo, but this was all I could manage. Maybe ABS or wireless brakes?!

Probably for the "MX" line like their doublecrown, light motorbikes?

Sure it‘s not a Gravel bike?

Forbidden posted this today. Song on the story is “supanaught”. Sounds like the dh bike is days away

Very disappointing, I would be quite tempted to get this, but 55mm is just not enough to provide adequate damping on a 170mm travel frame.

Orange make a functional mountain bike. That thing never will be. Considering the seatpost insertion it's not even drawn by someone who mountain bikes, and given the design choices elsewhere i would've thought it was probably put together by an industrial design student for a project.

lmao

Just when i thought id figured out my next frame they bring out another option to ponder! A cruel cruel world indeed.

Yeah, UK warranty/backup for Sram is pretty poor. However, rumour has it that they’ll be doing their own thing here soon anyway.
