The only issue would be the rubber- EPDM for DOT fluid, buna for mineral oil.

Code levers could probably run mineral oil just fine. Worst case they'd have to change material of some of the rubber parts. So they could be mineral and look the same.

Considering it's being run on existing levers, kinda doubt this one. But if true, I guess it's time to stock up on current (old?) Codes

Doubt it. The block is unsprung on the rear but sprung on the front. It would also have to be a tuned mass damper to achieve this functionality and I think a tuned mass damper might be quite heavy to do anything, depending on the frequencies that were intended to be filtered out. To be completely honest, not thinking it through completely, I don't see much of a use for an interter-type unit on a mountainbike, except for pedalling performance. In F1 (and prototypes) Inerters were used to take off the spikes in forces in suspension to ensure as constant...

April Lawyer had her own little clothing brand called MAVEN back in the day.

Read in the pinkbike comments that the new SRAM Maven brakes will be mineral oil. Interesting

speaking of product that's yet to materialize on sale for the public..... anybody know what's going on with the box stealth hubs?

Oh… I certainly hope so. Dual crowns just make an awful lot of sense for >160mm forks.

Formula is teasing new product launch on Friday. Is this the elusive Selva XL dual crown enduro fork? If so, I am tempted - very tempted.

Do you think they are simple tube "counter weights"? Would certainly take a few runs to get used to the technology.

I never came across a creaky Blackbox carbon crown on the Revelation - though perhaps the small sample size influenced my perception, I only saw a handful of them. They appeared to be bonded.

Back in the day (when they had in-house suspension), Specialized played with bonding alloy tubes in alloy crowns. It actually worked really well, passed all testing no problem. They were even ride tested after 100k+ cycles of abuse in the test lab and remained creak free and strong. Upper management decided to drop all in house suspension efforts, otherwise they would have gone into production. One of the other things it allowed, which is still a major issues with current offering from RS and Fox that are pressed in, is that it allowed for perfect alignment of the stanchion tubes...

Hmmmm....Teamrobot is giving kudos? Has to be a prank! Kidding aside....happy to participate.

It's worth getting to Santa Cruz just for the Burrito culture. They roll 'em tight like nowhere else on earth. Taqueria Vallarta gets the first shout out because they came first. But the Taqueria Santa Cruz folks are cousins of the Vallartas and just as good. And for larger, sloppier ones go to Jalapeños. Their mole is amazing!

That's perfect, thank you for the detail ( and the burrito shout) !! Trip got pushed out by a week or two but either way will go with the santa cruz demo day and get up to the U-Conn climb trail and go from there Thanks again !

Could be. You can see the data logger on the riders right fork leg. Ive just never seen anything like that mounted to the top left of the fork with a round tube. Or on the gear brake caliper. The BYB data system is mounted on the downtube.

Looks like a particular threaded shell is missing from the equation 🤔 making room for a 6 (or 12) speed manual?

Looks like data acquisition kit ^^
