Holy crap @kwseattle that chain on the CF is exactly what terrifies me about the tiny tiny clearance I have on my frame on the 50T chainring I have. This is what mine looks like with the rear suspension fully extended (paracord instead of a chain since my new groupset is on the way and this is...

@Lsthrz idk if I said this already or typed it and decided it wasn't making into the comment, but if WW cut down on variety of their inventory they could totally just send out an email to customers taking them to a landing page with all the setup/service docs for the parts on their bike - just a...

@Lsthrz on the Manitou stuff it's the red switch/lever shown here in IPA adjustment. On the Pro versions you get separate low-speed compression and the platform lever is only 2-position @Deacon Blues sounds like you have the right idea - honestly on a pavement commuter you really don't need...

@pushkar I picked up a few hundred Lishens for my own use at around a little over half the price-per-unit of the 50E's - I bought through a domestic supplier and the lot codes on my boxes were barely a 2 months old so for now it seems like they can keep up production with demand. They're one of...

Check out the relative watt hours you can get from them at certain current draws and how much voltage sag you get with the 50E's under load. Mooch does great battery benchmarks complete with discharge voltage graphs at various discharge rates, as well as cell temperature taken - very easy to...

putting Honda Accord torque through bicycle parts is asking too much? Don't speak such nonsense!

KW that's pretty cool - do you feel the cutoff is nice and quick when you shift? I've got plenty of space inside my frame to add an inline shift sensor but the little I've searched out on them the reviews are kind of mixed. I imagine the higher report rate on the X1 would also translate to...

Vinny I have a Dengfu E06, 29+ late spring/summer set with a pair of 26" 90mm Nexties shipping out this week to build up a fat set for the snow, using the Christini fatbike spider. The 50T chainring definitely needs some spacers to offset it out by at least 5mm as it just barely clears the...

TDA, for what it's worth last night while the power went out I was reading up on how the new 7/8/9100 12-speed derailleurs do indeed work with the old 7/8/9000 11-speed shifters on an 11-speed cassette, so if you gnarl up your current derailleur you can replace it with one of the newer ones - if...

KW, if you're having issues in some of the gears at one end of the cassette but not others look into something like a Woolftooth Wolfcage or Garbaruk derailleur cage. My assumption is that WW can currently only get XT M8000 instead of the M8130 - M8000 is designed for 46T max cog whereas the new...

I'll say this about color being darker than expected - on my E06 I ordered using a pantone color code and mine came out much darker than expected as well! I was going for a deep blue, I wound up with daaaaark deep blue. At least you went with glossy because it does look sick when the light hits...

Jon my Nextie's should ship this coming week and they do it by air so I'll definitely have an opportunity to post in the E06 sub comparing the fit between the 2XL's, Snow Avalanches, and the 29x3 Cannoli's I have for summer very soon! Ordering studs tonight for the tires. I actually just...

FedEx strikes again! That does suck but it looks like rain this weekend anyway. Now if you had been able to get it in time for this past weekend that would have been perfect! My package arrived this evening around 6:30 - out for delivery from Redmond same as yours. They even delivered a giant...

Not my video, but after watching a few of them I have an itch to make my own! Seeing that guy go fast and hit jumps on that track and someone from Europe riding on them on frozen rivers was review enough for me on the Snow Avalanches - I know a lot of people complained about the original...

I go hiking in the mountains quite a bit and noticed the snow compacts down and freezes pretty hard as the winter progresses. In the mountains it just piles and piles and piles on - and winter groomed trails can be fairly firm - like the track in this video but more trees to wreck into. Last...

Hey my package made it to Troutdale today just after 12pm, but didn't 'arrive at the FedEx facility' there until about an hour ago. They have yet to own up to reality & update the expected day though. I like to think our deliveries are going to be box truck buddies tonight. Rome sadly this...

Mine is in Utah now but still shows delivery for today - that's not happening. I'm pretty sure FedEx always gives one delivery date, then updates it to earlier to make their routes look ahead of schedule, only to revert back to expected day or later once it reaches the last step or so. I hate...

Funny enough I've got a FedEx package on the way right now, says it's coming in tomorrow when it's in Nebraska ~1500 miles away. Let's race and see who's gets here first! I just hope whoever is transporting it is getting enough sleep

This is pure agony. Even before I moved to the area FedEx has been horrible - hold an item at the warehouse for 3 full business days + a weekend before they hand it off to the post office literally 1.5 miles down the street from them for final delivery. I don't think I've had a FedEx shipment...

The 'fast bleed' is what I meant by 'vacuum purge method' - unfortunately my syringe doesn't get a good enough seal in the reservoir and draws some air in at the joint. If Magura made a syringe with a threaded tip that sealed up nicely into the reservoir I would pay a handsome sum for it - these...
