Well you on the other hand then missed Scott which put 34,9 mm seat tubes on their 2005 Scale XC racer... If you want to go back in time to where the whole thing started. And even that likely is not the beginning.

Companies, rebranding existing cheap and non innovative stuff from other companies and then claiming it to be their own invention is an insult and a big slap in the face of all the guys in small companies, that really put a lot of sweat and blood and dedication into actually designing products to create something of their own. I am not saying, that this happened here, but it woud be great of you guys to back your claims and explain, where that undeniable similarity to those products off Aliexpress comes from. A complete groupset is not simply designed within two...

Sorry to be offtopic a bit, but can you share any designs that are (partly) yours? Besides the BikeYoke products, which i suspect is where you work now given your post history. (When can we expect a hydraulics actuated dropper post from you guys? :D - sarcasm of course)

I meant to reply to my other post and wanted to say, that it was sad, that there is no more statement from TRW. But to be honest, that was to be expected. I have been designing MTB frames and suspension for a couple of years now. I´ve lived in Taiwan for almost two years. And I just find it unbelievably bold to make such a statement of having designed a complete groupset from scratch within a period of two years by basically a two man team? How little idea of the complexity of this product can you have, to...

And that's why some of us are bitching here, because an obvious rebranding is being sold as a hard worked development by two guys in a garage. Which, as someone said before, is a slap in the face of the guys that actually do make awesome stuff by themselves in a garage. Look at Pinion for example.

Nobody is a dick. It's constantly said the community will buy anything when we talk about new standards. Well, it might seem like it, but we don't buy just anything. The whole thing is suspicious given how much talk about development and testing we have read in the press release and the comments, yet you can buy, by the looks of it, the exact same components from the exact same tooling with different prints (this is the cheap part) from Ali Express. They might not be bad, but they sure as hell don't look like they are a bespoke development...

11/14/2018 1:48am No it wouldn't be. You can damage careers by sharing unofficial info of this kind. You better be sure as hell when sharing unconfirmed doping info, regardless if it's true or not.

If i am to nitpick here, how is a 52-11 the widest range on the market? It's 472,7 %. Lat i checked Eagle is 500. And the new XTR is 510 %. But who cares about the detail. You know how a picture is worth a thousand words? This long post could be completely avoided and made MUCH more believable by simply posting one or more pictures of the prototypes for your group. Kinda like what Sram did when they released XX1 to the world, where the whole proto process was shown. Or how proto wireless eagle derailleurs have been...

11/6/2018 8:08am Super magnesium comes in 3 different alloys, a weldable version, a forgeable version and a machinable version. Anyone can make a super magnesium bike with the current methods. Only Pole's method is possible for AL 7075, which has a higher magnesium and copper content (mainly) than 7005 and is not weldable. The thing with super magnesium is the lower stifness...

11/5/2018 10:24pm Oh, you meant that the whole process is a benefit to NOT producing it overseas? If yes, i think you should add a word or two in front of the 'overseas' part in the first sentence. And if yes for the benefits of doing it in Finland, tweaking a race program sure has a benefit, but it also has a...

11/5/2018 9:48pm Doubt it. A CNC machine costs pretty much the same in Asia as it does here, the operating costs are lower, but not that much lower. The main difference between different countries are the wages, so it makes sense to move production to 'cheaper' countries if you have a lot of manual labor. If your production is decently automatized (CNC...

Dude, i'm the most engineer of the engineers you can think of. Yet i can see that, for a lack of better term, this video is bad. I hate marketing, but i still kinda get how it works. A launch video should hype you up and show you some things. This sadly does neither. I hope their gear is better than the video (which is a completely un-engineer thing of me to say, since, to me, the only thing that SHOULD matter is the performance, not marketing).
