Oh that's an easy fix sir. Transmission was made to be simple to install for any customer and work well from the get go without complicated adjustments. It will adjust itself. Just tighten the axle properly, don't touch the wheel. If it seems to be rubbing, Transmission will push the dropout a little bit to create the necessary space it needs to work properly, and will keep this adjustment perfect forever. No need to play with shims or take out the grinder, just trust your new Transmission, go for an epic ride and enjoy your new trouble-free drivetrain.

Did y’all just now hear about CeramicSpeed or what? You think $40 for crank bolts is outrageous, definitely don’t read about their $2K pulley cages. Folks buy the $40 crank bolts so other people have an easier time seeing they also bought the $400 bottom bracket.

Why anyone would buy that at that price is completely beyond me. Ceramicspeed can get f’d, burgtec makes the same product, in a variety of colors (and are a way cooler company) for $10. https://burgtec.co.uk/product/shimano-crank-bolt/#

Can we talk about how this sport has completely jumped the shark for a second? OEM parts is $4. This doesn't even come in blingy colors.

And you know some bloated consultant that rides 8 hours a year is going to buy it and crush his bottom bracket torquing it on with the longest wrench he can find.

4/7/2023 4:41pm Maybe the most absurd thing I've ever seen. I'm not against small batch, boutique parts, but anyone spending that money on something so frivilous needs to be audited and forced into buying food for the needy or something.

Speaking as someone who works in product design. The headset routing thing is still happening because these designs are done years out. So the early adopters stir up public sentiment first. So when it gets released and the public is saying "get fucked" the companies that are later in adopting it already have those designs locked in during product cycles. So they can't do anything for a year or two because all the manufacturing orders have already been made. Then you have another 2-5 years of having to sit on that design because of tooling amortization. So we're in the...

That´s true, not even women of the owner family. (I´ve got the full German article if someone´s interested.) ABUS - Wikipedia They probably think that Texi fits as an ambassador for them as he´s Christian as well (albeit it seems like he´s not as medieval as the Abus owners are)

Anybody else here who just couldn't care any less what nonsense SRAM is up to or am I the only one? I'm just not at all excited about electronics this, wireless that - but that is what SRAM seems to have focused on these days. None of that stuff is gonna get anywhere near my bike.

Regarding the 2023 Super Deluxe, Disclaimer- I don't have dyno readings ;-) I've had the good fortune of receiving support from Rockshox for my race team 'RaceKraft' which is a Jr Devo team. We have 6 bikes set up with the Super Deluxe Ultimate Coil. I'm a total shock nerd and have spent some time revalving these shocks for my riders. We've only had a couple of trips to the desert and to race Bootleg a few weeks ago. First off, the architecture of these things is rad. It's pretty clear that durability was a major focus. The shock shaft...

3/3/2023 1:43pm It's very much outlandish, hahaha. But it is Australian made and they've put tons of hours into developing it, so I understand the costs involved.
