That's a proper moped.

All hail TEAM ROBOT CRAB

I for one welcome our new crustacean overlords. TEAM CRAB

You can get medication for that.

The real reason for in frame storage....

Hmm, not sure why you assume I’m “not running proper equipment.” My bike is built for riding in legit terrain where shit can go sideways. Thankfully, it rarely ever does - exactly because I “run proper equipment” - but if/when shit does happen I want at least a fighting chance of riding my bike out of the woods. I’ll take the minimal weight penalty of some bits and pieces rather than hiking out.

I wish trunnion mount shocks be gone, too.

It works as advertised for the most part. There are still scenarios where pedal kickback can be encountered, but they should be pretty rare. Let's consider the current generation Nomad for an example. The suspension has to compress about 80mm to get 18 degrees of pedal kickback. Because you are always guaranteed the same amount of slack in the hub, on any compression smaller than this it does make pedal kickback impossible to encounter. If you are compressing your suspension more than 80mm, it then becomes a question of how fast is the shock moving when you hit the 80mm...

I did a test this weekend with and without countershox on the bike. Nothing else was changed besides one on the fork and one on the seattube. The feeling in my hands was night and day more comfortable with Countershox. I was running data sensors on the bike for suspension, axles, bb and headtube of frame. This graph is a snippet showing the front axle movement compared to handlebar movement in vertical direction. Red is bars and Yellow is axle. You can see the bottom graph between big hits the bars are moving vertically much less. The peaks of the...

If you’re TMD is sprung with coils, you could leave it open via a hole in the side somewhere and then the volume difference would be only the volume of the solids.

Two opposing springs doubles the effective rate if I'm not mistaken. Since they experience the same displacement they are springs in parallel. If both springs are preloaded the same amount x1 and have the same rate k, then the combined force on the mass is (k(x1)+kx)-(k(x1)-kx). Preload cancels out and the force on the mass is 2kx. So that would put 600 g at about 32 Hz

nah that's french onion dip stash bro

Yeah, as someone else already said, high quality syringes like in the Sram kit make a huge difference for a few reasons. One is that the bore of the syringe will start, and stay, more round than the more flexible plastic on your garden variety medical style ones. Another big thing, particularly when pulling a vacuum, is that the pieces of the plunger are all firmly affixed, usually screwed together, with an o-ring (or similar) seal, whereas on the medical style ones, the whole rubber tip (which forms the seal) of the plunger is just pressed on to the plastic...

From my experience, the bleed kits with the hard syringes like the ones in the Sram Pro kit are a huge improvement. I believe Park and Jagwire use them in their kits as well.
