ebruner Liked a reply to forum topic Used Market Opinions and Experience (entire bikes)

My opinion... Used ebikes have the re-sale value of a pringles can left out in the rain for 4 weeks and full of water. Any real mileage on them (over 300-500) and there will be practically no interest, even at 50% under msrp. Not a shocker, but it's a turn in the market where your ownership decisions are now impacted by that. Previously, the move was either get a new ebike every year before the depreciation got gnarly, or just hold onto it and run it into the ground. Now the answer is clear, run it into the ground and...

Could also be an drone/followcam athelete sponsorship, not a team sponsorship I guess?

2/9/2025 3:45pm Pretty new to doing research on eebs and only did a quick search but didn't see anything in this thread related to this yet. Apologies if it's old news. Screengrab of Brook MacDonald with a massive DJI logo on his Hardline jersey: I know Brook was on Forbidden but he's officially been on Ari for a few weeks now. Anyone...

That press release and video contain an awful lot of words whilst avoiding mentioning the weight.

Starling Murmur owner here. I used to think I wanted progressive suspension. Bottom-out resistance sounds like a great idea, and I like to think that I hit the odd big jump or drop that warrants it. I bought my Murmur as part of a special offer that included a Cane Creek DB Inline Coil shock with a progressive spring, and I was stoked because my biggest fear about moving to coil had been about the lack of progression. I was very happy with the bike, and the traction and ground-tracking ability of the rear was amazing. However, I felt like...

2/5/2025 10:01am Love the steal is real, simplicity is efficiency, and no-marketing BS vibes Starling is putting out. Your bikes have been high on my list for my next purchase for awhile now. But, since my current bike's style and geometry is very close to the Mega Twist, and I agree with your point that the rider often makes more of a...

We have built a few of our Spur bike using a Effigear gearbox. It rides amazingly; the suspension (due to reduce un-sprung mass and no flappy chain is amazing). But there is an amount of drag in the gearbox that means it doesn't lend itself to being a trail bike. It's definitely more winch and plummet of lift assisted. We do plan to do some more, but upping travel. We just need the capacity to do this... The Pinion system does look good these days. I'm still not totally sold on the drive cog position, it has to run a...

Before I started making bikes, I had a variety of different designs, but had always preferred single pivots. They just felt more lively and engaging to ride. And even thought I was doing a bit of racing, I felt this was most important. It's never the bike that is slowing me down, so a bike that I felt most confident on was always going to make me the fastest. I think I nailed geometry pretty early on via quite a bit of testing of different variations. But pretty much for the whole of Starling's time, geometry has remained unchanged. We've...

I've always heard brake jack is terrible on single pivots. True/false/thoughts. I'll come back to Brake Jack, but in my experience it's no worse on our bikes. Just learn to brake in the right places, this is the most important skill for being a good rider!
