8/11/2026 10:46pm This is what worries me. I get the technical benefits of putting a kid on an ebike, but at the same time they're going to see that you don't need to put in the effort to get to the top. Just another shortcut in life that's so popular these days. Maybe if you could limit it to a certain level...

8/11/2026 9:13pm It’s always been so funny to me when adults are leery of kids being on e-bikes. Their muscles are much less powerful in relation to the size of their bike and the trail. They may deserve to be on e-bikes more than adults!

8/11/2026 3:21am Or a horizontally mounted Mass Tuned Damper. Reduce lateral vibrations and add weight down low. Win win.

8/7/2026 8:54am I wouldn’t think there is much stress on the bearings at all. It’s only the bike weight, if you hit something with a crank mounted bash-guard. The bearings carry all your body weight, load under heavy pedaling, the pull of the chain… I’d think all these stresses are much higher on the bearings than when the bike weight hits the bearings by hitting the crank-mounted bash guard. The only thing is that the impact is quick and hard. If the frame hits something, the body/bodyweight isn’t as rigid and will “give” in the direction of movement. If that makes any...

8/7/2026 2:58am But direct stress on the BB bearings. Any kind of protection plate would also have to come with a rethought mount interface that would be stronger than the current ISCG tabs.

8/6/2026 12:48pm Yes, that has been known for a while Intend specifically makes a fork, and has done for probably 5 years, that accepts a sid damper/cartridge. (I believe I even posted about it here 1+ year ago) And mounting the flight attendant module requires only some filing to remove like 1mm of material from the FA control unit. Mounting it to a fox fork however, is not something i've seen before, and not sure how it works. And if you've looked at a flight attendant module, its also not very easy to understand how someone would fit it to a fox...

8/5/2026 9:23pm This is pretty much my philosophy as well. I'm one of the few weirdos that was never willing to give up gripshift, so it's on all my Eagle drivetrains, and it is simple to fly through gears as fast as you want will spinning at low power. With any significant power, you better be good at easing up strategically during shifts though, or suffer the brutal clicking and popping noises that ensue. I think the marketing info that preceded the release of T-type indicated that it was designed with e-bikes in mind, where shifting under significant loads was expected, and...
