2/4/2025 12:44pm If the saddle is too low on that Bronco "bike" you may destroy your knees, unless it accelerates with a trigger and you just sit passively on it.

It can't be good to have the brake hose overlapping the brake rotor like that ... Edit: have they installed the brake adapter upside down?

11/4/2024 6:32am Same for me, I've spent a lot a couple years ago and it's dropped to near zero now, for several reasons : -My '19 Honzo ESD is as good now as it was 5 years ago -2 years ago I bought a relatively cheap fat and it's my favourite bike for small rides around home where there's mud and rocky...

I'm still thinking that the pedal kickback perception has more to do with chain management than classic kickback caused by anti-squat. Said another way, it's the chain slap pulling the cassette forward, and then slamming into a pawls/teeth, vs chain growth, caused by anti-squat/growth. This has less (but still it's something) to do with hub engagement and more to do with various ways to control (damp) the chain oscillations and smashing forces when the chain movement comes to an abrupt halt against any of the various bike components. I've played around a lot with making my bikes quiet, which makes...

9/20/2024 3:51am How does the Pivot kinematic work ? The wheel trajectory is defined by the 2 short links, and the seatstays+yoke are there to activate the shock and define the amount of travel ?

The thing I've learned from all this broken derailleur talk is that I don't ride hard enough.

8/23/2024 5:02pm I rode my ebike a lot the first year, then got kinda bored. Most people I used to ride all mountain with on normal bikes are now riding more enduro on ebikes and it's not my thing. I don't care much about going fast either up or down, I care more about being in movement through the landscape. I wanted...

8/8/2024 3:46pm I was thinking about something like #3 when I saw the huck to flat videos, though at the time not with activated carbon, just with a standard valve/bladder that could be in a canister on the hub and a hose to the rim (opposite to the valve, and everything well balanced), but I have absolutely no idea of the air...

(not) sorry to keep beating this dead horse, but this comparison gets tricky with exchange rates, inflation, cost of living, etc. So here are some interesting stats: Every State except Mississippi has an average take-home consumption rate (the total of all income, government benefits, etc) higher than every single country in Europe, including the Nordic countries. The average income of the lowest quintile in the USA is roughly equal to the 2nd highest quintile in the EU (before Brexit). The average house size in the USA is 2,200 square feet, in Europe its 1,300 square feet. The USA averages 860...

4/24/2024 3:22am In Portugal there's a "bike valley" where they have massively invested in welding robots. I think I read that a good chunk of Decathlon frames are now welded there. It's in Europe but Portugal minimum wages are still much lower than some other countries in Europe so that's something that may not be possible in the US. In France Moustache...

The lines of the frame are pretty much perfect. Would have loved a non-drive side picture to see how the lower part of the down tube looks. The only con I'd have would be the lack of place for a bottle, but with so much slopping it could probably be placed over the top tube, under the saddle.
