Just to give you guys a quick update - I am fully pausing on rolling out further beta testing simply because you guys helped me see there is a much better opportunity here than I maybe thought originally. I want to ship something that is really useful, and that you all really find value in, which means I need to bring in some real software engineers to tighten some of the code and make sure the product meets expectations. Plus, its very clear to me I'll need to be shipping android versions alongside iOS. Feel free to put feature &...

Few things to share, while I have a second. Elevation Data: The gold standard for doing this "right" is to use a device's barometric pressure measuring sensor in combination with GPS. The problem here is barometric pressure obviously changes with weather, so you need to tie local weather into the data, too, which makes this really only possible after uploading everything. If I'm honest, my elevation processing is way off right now, only cause I'm trying to get the race timing accurate first. I have a plan to get this way close enough, but don't expect on device accuracy to...

I don't understand the hate for e-bikes (pedal assist,) but I can totally get behind a ban on throttle-controlled e-motorcycles on bicycle trails. And this is coming from a motocross dude who also rides MTB. If it will go fast, spin the tire and uses a throttle, it's a motorcycle; It really doesn't matter if there are cranks and pedals attached to it if they don't have to be utilized. I'm also interested in seeing what's going to happen with these. From a legality standpoint, most of the trails around here aren't really policed by any authority, so it's like...

i just want to make one last comment re: deleting pics, community etc then i'll be quiet. over the last few years, i've become very aware of how much of a privilege it is to be a part of a community that is supported by some of the best brands in our game. but the key word here is community...YOU all are the community. without you and your sleuthing, your knowledge, your stoke for the sport and its equipment, or your informed opinions, vital wouldn't be very special. with that said, if all vital does is bow down to brands...

Appears to be some sort of belted purse.

Haibike hinting at their next bike. The silhouette implies it's a Pinion MGU.

Man, that Winice enduro bike looks awesome! How long till China does to the MTB market what they are about (doing) to do to the car market? they already make the frames, they’ve just been lacking decent design. Maybe we’ll be able to afford bikes again? Starunion MGM Looks the good too

90Nm and 700W probably. Not 100.

She was on the new Sender alls season long. Mille from CCFT and the rest of the FMD raced the current production model.

We're excited to hear what the Robot overlords think. Back to back testing with wheel swaps is certainly the way to go. To comment on the single pawl on the pusher and concerns with torque/loading: that pawl never actually carries any drivetrain loads, it only acts to engage the 3 traditional pawls on the freehub, so those are actually the items carrying the drive loads.
