Coal miners suffered from "Black Lung." MTB riders suffer from "Black Fly Lung." 😉🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. I despise those little bastards with every drop of blood in my body! In my youth I'd come home with up to a dozen of them crawling around on me, but was never infected till this year. At almost 70y/o I'm not thrilled with the prospect of treating with...

Well...yeah, isn't that the point? 😉

Thank you... sometimes the obvious needs to be stated for those less observant. 😉

Same here. The wife finally agreed to let me order an Amflow, but after this shit storm of negative stories about the company, there is NO way in hell I'm making that big a purchase only to get screwed before AND after the sale. Hey, Amflow... Walmart gives much better sales/service on their $79...

Yet, if there was a show of hands, many members on this forum would admit to purchasing from Alibaba/Aliexpress with no issues. The major issue here is the manner in which funds were being distributed. As many others have already pointed out, Paypal or a credit card would have avoided ALL of it...

That is just an embarrassing price. I imagine the company will claim they are 'flying off the shelves.' For THAT price, I expect the damned thing to actually FLY! 🤣

The point here is the pads you use, no matter the brake hardware brand, make a huge difference. The three sets of pads I installed before Galfers all sucked. Super noisy & squealing when wet, overheating, fading under pressure. The point: bad pads make great hardware suck.

I call them "tree hooks." 😂

Not a chance, but you have to stand on your head to work on it inverted. 😂

Galfer purples are the way to go. Since switching to them, I won't use anything else. Super quiet in all conditions & pretty much fade free. I have a monster commuter bike that weighs 135# fully loaded & many mountain roads to contend with. Descending down one steep hill that is nearly a mile...

I'm old school & still use bar end grips. They allow me to work on my bike upside down & protects other components during the inevitable crash & burn.

Hey Mtnbud... this horse died before you mounted it, time to stop whipping it. 🤣

Nope. Didn't miss your point one iota. I really don't see a battery or bike mfg being overly concerned with this specific issue, as I have already stated, the market for micro pumps is robust. Is the 32-70gms that an 18650/21700 weighs going to bust the bank? If a sh!t ton of riders were...

The 48v motors you want are simply not available in a size that would make this feasible. 12v is the go to for size, torque & speed. You would need an additional DC/DC step down converter to make it work SAFELY. Why reinvent the wheel when the available options for current mini pumps is vast...

Same here. Trail etiquette is something that needs to be shared & shared. If we are to be the example to the rest of trail users, then let's make it a good example. Dismount for horses, slow & give ample time for others to react to your hail & approach, help others with technical or mechanical...

I use TPU tubes now, so I stopped packing my CO2 in favor of the Fanttik X10. The unit isn't much larger than a CO2 kit with 2 refills. I find it extra handy to use on my front sus. The noise really isn't a bother for the 60sec it's saving my a$$ from a long, hard walk out. If you use a phone or...

Try the Fanttik X10. Much smaller & lightweight. I carry one on each bike with a spare TPU for emergencies. Works great! Two years of use & it works like new. I'm in varied terrain and tend to adjust the air in my tires for it. Pumping back up is just a few seconds & I'm back on the trails.

You certainly shouldn't be classified "OCD" by any stretch of the imagination. I've been fitting bikes to bodies since the 80's & nearly all opt for the smaller mtb frame when in this dilemma. You'll normally get shorter chain stays & the bike will be a bit lighter for a more lively feel. Now...

Experience & talent definitely are what gets you down the trail safely, yet, if you are just too inexperienced, out of shape or have a physical limitation, you can choose the power plant to suit your abilities or, gawd forbid, your needs.
