Three gears in the front and seven in the back could be the perfect ratio for mountain biking! It's almost like it would give you three different gear "ranges" using the front shifter- one for climbing, one for descending, and one for everything in between. And the chain alignment could be so much straighter without having to pack all your gears onto one super wide cassette. I wonder why no one's thought of that yet? I can't think of any downsides.

John Karrasch (@flexfitbyjohn on Instagram) is doing real world rolling resistance testing (using Chung method) of the current crop of XC and gravel tyres. He’s dabbled with trail casing of XC tread like BRR has, but not into the trail, enduro, DH etc type tyres that this forum is normally interested in. I’ll ask him if he’s interested in this current question of radial RR.

I am going to be completely transparent here in that I work for FSA, but I will say I worked really hard on making the 31.8 40mm Gradient alloy bar one of the most compliant on the market. and here is the proof: (chart from PB article)

I typically use the climb switch once per ride. I like to turn it on halfway up the climb when I remember I have it and might as well use it. I tend to turn it off halfway down the descent when I’m puzzling over why my suspension isn’t working. I suspect I am not in the minority.

Yeah the terms are disgusting. I call normal bike “free-range-non-gmo-organic-grass-finished bikes.”

That's my understanding of how it works, although I don't know whether the number e13 quotes is additive (as DT's must be, since it has a 0° setting) or the maximum in that setting. I'm much less certain about that now that I know the minimum setting isn't an effective zero. I think freewheeling drag should be enough to hold the DF ring at the far end of its float range. At the end of the day the numbers themselves probably don't matter as much as the feel, though. To answer FrontRangeFriend's original question, IMO all of this makes DT...

Long time lurker, first time poster here. For some background I’m an aerospace composites engineer and spent several years in Advanced Product Development with an emphasis on environmentally friendly materials. There’s so much to get into on this topic and if folks are interested I’d love to start a dedicated thread on materials and environmental impacts. The TLDR is, carbon fiber as a green product on its own is a fallacy. The raw fiber production may result in a certain level of carbon sequestering, but the process is still so energy intensive I wouldn’t call it an environmental positive. As...
