Correct, am I seeing the Crack is linear and possibly at the center of the mould halves, could the significant layers be placed on each half of the mould and the Crack is weakness at the area both halves meet.

So You want to save some money buying a "Grey Market Bike"... You might think, "Doesn't the law say a product has to work if it's sold as new?" Yes, this is called the Implied Warranty of Merchantability. However, under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), an implied warranty is a promise made...

If there is a liquidity squeeze, legacy inventory will definitely have a fire sale. Otherwise the suplus will slowly get absorbed by average bike riders that are not up to speed with the market. (A good example is how many Levo 4's were sold at a premium for a legacy design) I like Bosch for...

Agreed. I want to go back to the days when my only 'algorithm' was a disgruntled local bartender or the guy down the street who yelled at clouds. At least their echo chambers had a decent draft beer selection. Or better yet, go back to the Plato and Socrates era when the ultimate 'platform' was...

As I wait for availability of the new Avinox powered bikes espically the Amflow PR, I am starting to notice the "new guy in town" especially some of the technology which appears to be "out innovating the innovator". Their decision to go with a higher voltage standard is a prime example of...

I have wondered why Avinox doesn't adopt a higher voltage . Higher voltage equals smaller copper wire throughout the system. Voltage vs motor size In electrical engineering, higher voltage 52 vs. 36 does not automatically mean a motor must be larger. In fact, the opposite is often true...

Definitely , standing behind warranty repairs is critical for a bike owner's investment . I'm under the assumption that the bike was purchased in a "Grey market " which is risky to say the least. Speaking for myself, the aggravation and lost time during the riding season in pursuit of a...

When a problem has come to a road block, instead of prolonging the grievance finding a solution is a good next step. So, if you look at that crack near the seat post, I have some good news it is a very straightforward, reliable, and low-cost fix. Because it’s a carbon frame, there is no...

Thank you for follow up, and yes anytime the pedals rotate it provides the opportunity to create current. My belief is that it is the recovery of kinetic energy wasted on brakes to create electricity instead of heat is the practical application of regen.

Interesting, do I assume that Gabao is saying that a manufacturer with a current mold that does not support the "new new" generation of drivetrains, can bring relevence to a previously legacy design.

I took the liberty of adding a conditional item.

A civilization grows stronger by solving its own problems rather than outsourcing everything to machines. Not being a fan of machines was a concept that was understood in the 1940's. Presented in 2 book series... In the “Robots” series , Isaac Asimov (possibly the originator of the word...

Not so fast round eyes... snowmobiles have been using belt driven CVT transmissions since the beginning of time. We call them snow machines and they have (or had) the fastest acceleration of any production vehicle, at least they did so , I have not checked the recent EV numbers. So...

I like the tangible idiosyncrasies of my mechanical drive train. It has a clicky clacky feedback and is soooo simple. Not sure that I will feel comfortable more than a days hike from the nearest road as temps drop at the end of the day with complex computerized systems. A smooth quiet system...

Interesting, my take is that Gobao just took a bit of the wind out of their sails. I wonder if they were hoping to keep it under wraps till next year when closer to production and found it necessary to mention at Gobau's party that they are in the biz.

Speaking of alpine decents my arms hands and brakes would be delighted to sign up for regen. So the question becomes how excited would you be with hub motors since mid drive and freewheel are not an option.

I'm an optimist and would love to find a better drive train that is durable, light and efficient , providing as much or more gear range currently Why am I reminding myself of the following joke; Magic trick: To make people disappear, ask them to fulfill their promises.” – Mason Cooley
