Just seen a post on anther site about New trek ebikes coming on 26th(au) Could be the new TQ's??

This is one reason I tend to roll my eyes when people talk about slashing the U.S. defense budget. I'm not saying every defense program is a good use of money, spending 2 billion on one jet can be debated, but defense and aerospace spending support more tier 2&3 manufacturing than most people realize. Sure, you might work at a company that doesn't make defense products, but the reason you can get raw materials, machine service, coatings, or manufacturing supplies locally may be because a handful of ma&pa shops in your area stay in business making aerospace and defense parts...

Domestic manufacturing/sourcing has been been a requirement (for some products, at least) in DoD procurement since the Berry Amendment of 1941.

i don’t remember where i read it, but ukraine uses about 10 fpv drones per killed russian per day currently, that’s about 10-15k drones a day, times 4 motors.

But wait, there's more! They are funding a child labour startup.

I've always maintained that if you had to pay for your Gopro, I don't want to see your shit.

Translation: drone warfare is popping off and we want in on that bag 💰💰💰

the more ebikes get sold, the more a shop can earn through just replacing the faster wearing parts. set the service interval in the software to 1500-2000km and you have a steady flux of people coming who want the service symbol to be gone again. even easier when financing those bikes. in germany, those contracts come with mandatory service intervals over the whole time the contract runs (usually 3 years).

Shockcraft Bomber CR kit teaser. Converts all shims to 8mm ID with a new piston bolt for the base valve as well.

The legislative proposal for the new Motor traffic Act in Norway just dropped, and the part about banning e-bikes on trails is not there anymore.

That is exactly what an Ai would say...................

Don't see an edit button: The best info on batteries and efficiencies is this article: https://ebike-mtb.com/en/e-bike-motor-test-range-efficiency-vertical-ra… Unfortunately the test does not have the M2S, but in a different test they confirmed the 3% gain. One caveat to the "watt is a watt", is that manufacturers can print whatever number they want, for instance Specialized's 840Wh battery which by most metrics is smaller than a Bosch 800Wh. So it is possible that the Avinox 700Wh has a few more available Wh than advertised.

A watt is a watt, the newer bikes have the m2s which is claimed ar 2-3% more efficient than M1 making the new system in 700Wh closer to the old system in 800Wh. I want to see a comparison of the new bikes with the old 800Wh compared to the original M1 system. If anything, the 700Wh could consume slightly more energy as it can sustain higher loads for much longer before derating.

I read that as: YT will continue to provide support for the Decoy SN as long as they're able to get parts through the Fazua dealer network. Probably something that was translated German to English. I was talking to a couple local guys who ended up buying Heckler SLs after talking to me about mine last year, and were bummed about the whole situation. I said that while I sold mine before the news happened, I wouldn't be super stressed about it as Santa Cruz has said that they intend to provide support and look out for the customers. Knowing...

It always looked pretty good. It honestly looks pretty much the same with a bit of a slimmer downtube.

Avinox wild photos have leaked, holy smokes what a great looking bike

This thread is blowing my mind, because I've had pimples that lasted longer than some of my alloy wheels.
