Honestly, I think the trick check is gonna be a hit. I don’t really care about it, but it reminds me of how ridiculously happy my 63-year-old mom (who still rips a meat bike, btw) gets from that little Garmin “beep” when you get airborne. Riding with her is hilarious because she’s popping off every little thing she can find, then letting out a full-on “whoop” every time it beeps. It’s wholesome as hell.

my 2 cents after spending some time on the bike is that I really want to spend more time on the bike. A couple anecdotes here: I was surprised at how well it pedalled and the lack of heft that I was expecting after looking at it. After giving it back for a month I had to film on it with no time to get familiar again. First trail was a rapid North Van classic that I have ridden a bunch and I was immediately sending it. It was extremely poppy while still being planted, able to pull for all...

He heard about all the issues with the X2 and wouldn't take no for an answer.

The last win on a Float X2 was Andorra 2023 from Thibaut Daprela. Hopefully the next time the X2 gets on the top step it won't be him taking it there.

Boy, the bike industry loves to rename shit in the goofiest way. Those are not idlers. They are drive sprockets. Two of them mounted on a jackshaft.

For anyone who's curious what Weagle says about the Nighttrain suspension layout but doesn't want to scroll through IG comments, answering someone who asked about the design intent behind the bike: "Initially trying to gain a bit more mid corner traction on race bikes but as I hated [typo?] on the idea more and more I began to appreciate that it solves a lot of other issues. Definitely not an immediately intuitive benefit for me, it grew on me. In the end it turns out that by the numbers and by seat of the pants human pedaling a bike, this...

A bit of an aside, but I think it is worth pointing out how fragile these software-based “locks” may turn out to be. Yes, the Avinox motor may be relatively easy to unlock today by using a VPN to New Zealand, but that loophole probably gets closed sooner rather than later. Longer term, I suspect the entire hardware package becomes crackable in the same way the tuner community has been cracking ECUs for decades. That likelihood only goes up as AI models get better at coding, reverse engineering, and understanding complex systems. At some point, people will be able to...

It wouldn't be. Those little electric pumps are not exactly light and mounting one on the rim like that would throw the balance of the wheel completely off. That balance is super important, especially at this level of racing. It's just a piece of foam to protect the valve stem from rock strikes since there was so much loose rock on the track. You could do a pump like that built into the hub, that wouldn't throw the balance of the wheel off.

I made my last post when I was generally frustrated with life. Sorry about that. Most of you are probably still not going to agree with me, but I'll try again and then shut up. I think it's really, really important our community talks about whatever these two-wheeled machines with 800% assist and enormous torque/power actually are, and I don't want to stifle that occurring in this thread. I hope this thread gets a lot of traction and I learn something about why others feel so differently than me. Finally, apologies for waxing a bit philosophical. Honor, or whatever you...
