6/30/2026 5:29am Perusing the other site, plenty of second hand recent stuff about. That would be my choice, avoid the battered stuff though, even if its dripping in nice kit..

6/30/2026 12:06am Not found a definitive answer, but can you just run the shock in a dumb mode, where the axs controller shuffles the shock between open/trail/closed ?

6/16/2026 2:59am What are you running up front? I find the albert a bit meh, doesn't have the side support that the tacky chan has. Braking is ok though
Sir HC Added a reply to What frame brands are nicest to bearings? Should bearings and service be a consideration when buying a bike?
5/17/2026 12:39am Nicolai/Geometron My G1 is on its second set of frame bearings, clocked in at coming up to 950,000ft of descending. Doesn’t get an easy life as it’s mainly on uplifts/chairlifts and sees a pressure washer all to frequently. proper frame alignment Tolerance of the bearing seats is very very good Angular contact at the main pivot Additional oring seals to...

4/21/2026 8:01am I think quite a few of the OEM's with lots of bosch inventory will be pressing hard for a much earlier release.

4/13/2026 6:28am So I sacrificed a string pot on the altar of science. TL;DR: So far, the results are encouraging. I used a lathe to drive the pot via an offset crankpin, allowing me to calculate the theoretical string trajectory exactly, and the maximum velocities and accelerations at different lathe speeds. The downside of this arrangement is secondary vibration: because the string oscillates vertically, its inertia introduces an error that gets larger as the speed of rotation grows. The good news is that, because it isn’t something the pot will experience in real use and occurs at mid-stroke, I think it can...

1/27/2026 2:18am Takes 10 mins to get to the battery on the SL. Borrowed a mates levo sl for all of last December and January as my KSL shit itself for the 4th time in a 1000miles. Fantastic handling bike, from memory it was around the 20kg mark with no range extender. IMO it needed a 600 battery, then it would happily...

1/24/2026 2:52pm That guy continues to strive for the asshole of the year award. Any validity of his opinion has been removed by that kneepad/short gap and that’s even before we talk about his “low IQ” dismissal of everyone who dares to disagree with him 😂
