If they are lobbying for restrictions; they’d be acting in opposition to what I believe is best. This would greatly increase my resistance to ever buying anything from them. TBH I’m already highly resistant to Bosch because of their stance on speed. Going after power on an industry level would...

This is interesting regarding Canadian delays being caused by a “breakup” between Amflow and the distributor. Easy to theorize the distributor also handled the US. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZIWlLDhT8L/?igsh=dnNieDBoaXpibW9l

Let me jump in with an example for you. I'm trying like heck to get the eMTB KOM on White Horse, a 2.99 mile gradual (2.3%) climb at Hawes. Currently tied for second place; with a 15.7 mph (25.3 kph) average. Ken O is a beast though. There's one downhill part of this trail where I'll bump...

Not sure where you’re located but word on the street is @SP SUSPENSION here in Arizona might have an air shaft in stock. https://stillwellperformance.com/pages/mtb-suspension

Why do you need “them” to limit your bike’s output? Just limit it yourself.

Considering the threats of legal exposure, it sounds to me like manufacturers might want to stop importing ebikes into Italy. Thats how at least one firearms manufacturer I know treats radical leftist states like New York, California, New Jersey, etc.. When I used to live up there, I had to go...

I’m all for that coming to market (like we’re seeing with lights), however I don’t see myself buying such a device. I find value in having a completely portable, self-contained, electric pump. I don’t want to have to plug it in to use it.

@Suns_PSD you’re absolutely correct to add me to the long list of people “ignoring critical thinking” about power levels. However, please don’t neglect the fact that I also ignore critical thinking about speed. Actually you can add that I also lack respect for critical thinking about speed and...

The good faith comment is garbage but I’m not going to change your opinion so I’ll just move on from that slight. TBH, you’re right. I haven’t ever attempted to watch a full broadcast of WCDH. That’s why I’m shocked it’s so bad! I was ready to pay for HBO Max every month purely to watch all...

I don’t want to see a neutered Avinox, but if I’m honest with myself, I must admit that I’d find it entertaining to watch everyone’s head explode. This gray cloud could even have a silver lining. Such a stupid action could show the industry how repulsed consumers are by artificial power limits. 🤔

I’m proposing any changes that are required to broadcast the entire event like nearly every other sport does. That could mean longer broadcasts; or fewer competitors; or something else. Whatever it takes but not showing every athlete’s full run is simply unacceptable. Get creative. That’s not...

Touché. You genuinely make me smile here. Everything is great personally. Thanks for asking. Gaslighting is a trigger for me. The apathy kind of disgusts me too tbh. I’m just appalled by the coverage for a sport that I’m really into. I’m repeating myself, but I’m a huge sports fan and that...

As the pinnacle of the sport, they should have the resources and ability to make it happen. I suspect the apathy we see here is why there’s no pressure to produce a professional-level broadcast event. Might as well just phone it in. Look at WC soccer. I realize the scale is completely...

People have to stop with the bullshit gaslighting. I stand by my conviction that the most recent race was the worst tv coverage of any sporting event I’ve ever seen. I consider it that much of a failure. To provide context, and refute the ridiculous lies here that downhill racing coverage is...

This confuses me. The RD isn’t held onto the frame with the rear axle. They’re separate. You could weld the RD bolt on and it wouldn’t prevent you from removing the wheel.
