use shorter ones then?

Well I reckon that's the coolest bike in the world at the moment

@Spomer, can we please deviate the toe-clip topic to another thread, and make it in a slightly bigger default font?

You sound very unbiased

Let’s be honest Rachel will make a comeback on the belt driven bike and snap up the $100k before anyone else

I mean the Minion DHF celebrated a 20th anniversary. If that is not longevity in this industry, IDK what is. They have been my favorite tire nearly the entire time I have ridden bikes seriously. I try something new every year or so and end up back on the DHF. Three wheelsizes later and I am still going after DHFs for my preferred tire. Speaking of wheelsizes, saw a post by DirtySixer showing 32" wheeled bikes 😒

How progressive of them to offer cranks 5mm shorter...

It straight up works. Why change it? Man bike riders are a fickle bunch, not happy when a good product doesn't get updated or revised, not happy when a part constantly changes.

SPD's belong in a hall of fame with Nokia 9210's and cast iron cookware, they'll survive the heat death of the universe. If the OneUp SPD's last even half as long as a shimano they'll be incredible

the million dollar question - will they be as durable as shimano pedals?

That was john halls bike gwins former mechanic it's years old.

I've actually put a lot of thought into it since I have a few frames with broken front triangles, pretty good idea what I want and an idea I'd use one of the rear ends with a "homemade" front triangle. I mean sort of "home design, mate made" because my welds look more like pop corn than anything I'd ride. The biggest limitation I see is main pivot placement. A high pivot would be fairly easy, but the broken frames I have both have a pivot close to the BB. So the main pivot would need to be moved about...

I for one, am fully in favor of the increased availability of silver components (and I guess I should take some pics of my bike and post them in Bike Checks)

I guess Athertons using this also for ebike development more so than DH bike sales

new Levo probably incoming given timing of PB interview + new brose motor announcement

i thought so too at first. then i did Enhance.gif, and it would appear it is configured with some sort of tensioner pulley that directs the belt upwards towards the main pivot region before back to the rear hub.

I mean, I've cross-threaded a brake mount post on a bike made of swiss cheese before. Wasn't my proudest moment holding a wrench, and it just required a retap. I also saw someone who came in with the bolts sheared into their brake post mount after a "particularly odd" crash. I'm just saying, the more parts are replaceable the better.

I also suspect that SRAM told bike manufacturers that UDH was going to be required for future drivetrains (Transmission) even though the general public wasn't told.

Maybe there is a rideable prototype Orbea that they've done a good job keeping u fer wraps? Testing it, but not racing it yet?
