@NoahColorado Can I start an unofficial hopeful rumor about MRP making a boxxer/fox 40 compatible Lift damper? I mean... that's what the kids on the street are saying.

segamethod Added a reply to Shimano/TRP Maven - S-tier braking (Shaven/Traven)
1/7/2026 11:06am I know OP if this thread went with Bronze calipers and used steathamjig fittings to connect the hose, but does anyone know if banjo fittings are somewhat universal? If I wanted to attempt replacing my TRP E23 calipers with Maven Silver, is it as simple as disconnect the banjo and connect to the Maven caliper? In Brian's video, his comrade...

1/1/2026 2:58pm I'll double down on your #4 and predict that the e-Demo will not have a physical connection between the cranks and the motor output, ala Also TM-B.

12/29/2025 1:35pm For me, I'm not willing to drop the dough on any of this right now, though I'm sure they make a noticeable impact. Agreed that ethirteen products are non-starters; I could not tolerate pedalling a spring with RImpact; I don't see the DT solution as practical unless your bike/wheel happens to come with the DEG hub; and that leaves OCHAIN...

I don't know if you're just being sarcastic and already had an answer in mind, but "what happened in 1970" is one of the most hotly contested questions in macroeconomics. Was it automation? Globalization and trade? Women entering the workforce en masse? Taxation and income policy? New capital markets? Money in politics? Greater reliance on government deficits? Answering this question is super important for raising the quality of life of the median person, but unfortunately if you ask two macroeconomists right now you'll get five different answers, and no one's really winning the argument. I have an opinion on the...

12/3/2025 8:38am Great advice to ensure you don't pay overage fees. My favorite move is to 3D print a stand-in for your shock at an appropriate eye-to-eye and hardware sizing, and chuck your shock in your carry on. On my DH bike it saves almost 2 lbs, and I actually reduced the eye-to-eye a bit to "sag" the suspension and reduce the...

segamethod Added a reply to Forum Hot Seat: The E-MTB Power Discussion
11/25/2025 6:45am Glad to see FAZUA sent a reply, considering forum members here seem to be forecasting their imminent demise. I (reluctantly) picked up a steeply discounted FAZUA Ride 60 powered gravel bike for commuting and have found it to have more than adequate power for that application (can comfortably sit at 28mph when in the drops). For my mountain bikes, it’s...

10/22/2025 4:30pm Gonna guess this is not folks here's idea of the perfect ebike (though they will let you spend $200 to slap on some Kenda's with the "offroad" package), but Rivian spin-off "ALSO" announced their thing today: TM-B – ALSO Apparently features in-house suspension, anti-lock brakes, and (most interestingly to me) a super unique mid drive motor system. From what they've...

FWIW, regarding the oil colouring, Sram's R and RS brakes, where the parts are painted on the outside, have a gray oil when you do a bleed after a while, while RSC and above brakes (not sure how that relates to the new bronze and silve rmonikers) are anodized, which means the master bore is also anodized and thus doesn't wear as much as the raw one in the case of painted outsides. The gray colouring of the oil are aluminium wear particles.

9/16/2025 1:34pm Sure, but It's a matter of scale. Does this look as impressive? (Honestly, still looks kinda impressive but my point stands)
