The only compromise I read in there is frame stiffness. With regards to batteries flying out - I haven't had that issue and others have also implemented removable batteries without issues. On the contrary, a fixed battery has lots of compromises in my book: - Can't charge the battery off the...

Because you don't ride long enough 😜 Edit: what are the compromises for you?

Personally, I don't like fixed batteries in the frame, especially if they are small. I ride a Relay with Fazua and a 430 or 480wh battery that's removable. My buddy has a 430wh Decoy, where the battery isn't removable. We went on weekend trips where we'd do a morning and an afternoon session...

I couldn't disagree more with you on HCR. Maybe it's not terribly annoying to you when you only have 1 line, but it forces you to use a wireless dropper and wireless shifting. A wireless dropper - IMO - offers zero benefits but adds unnecessary cost and complexity. It's not like a dropper needs...

A day on from Avinox day and the release of the new motors, I was pondering the implications. My impressions - and an invitation to debate: 1. Avinox is bloody impressive at speed and quality of what it releases and has captured the market: the pace of market capture and refinement is hugely...

Sorry to hear about the knee. What is a brittle feeling bike? Infinitely better? Gotta love the nuanced appraisal 😜

Cool! How's the Wild compared to the Relay for you?

I'm on my second motor (first one had the loose silver ring). Both have always worked for me so far. My impression is the motor is becoming a bit rougher over time - slightly noisier and slight vibrations coming through the pedals. Does anyone else have the same experience?

My OCD thanks you :ROFLMAO:

Never trust a biker who lays their bike down on the derailleur side ;-) ;-P Nice looking bike, btw.

Keegan Swenson had such a setup for gravel: tubeless and a an empty tube to make for super quick repairs in a race setting

No way. Looks so real ;-). I love the two valves on the front wheel in particular. #innovation

Why auch a short stem instead of less less reach?

Have you tested the Wild or other full fat, heavier bikes? I'm curious if you'll mind the extra weight, or not.

The canbus stuff is nice, but I would still never want to deal with HSR on an MTB. It just doesn't make sense. Why not go back to the stock Mezzer and maybe tune it with a pick-n-mix?
