I'd rather ride a frame welded by dolphins.I didn't see the E either. Thought it was supposed to be dolphins.

Chainstay wasn't that bad, down tube sucked as the ports are pretty small. They give you long strips of rubber tubing to keep the cables quiet, but the diameter of the tubes is much bigger than the ports - the chances of you ever getting them out again if you use them are slim to none. They only give you two ports for cables at the headtube on the alloy frame, and the port covers are singles, so there's no way to route dropper, brake and derailleur without ditching a port cover. Since I always route my rear brake externally using stick-on c-clips it's not an issue, but still kinda sloppy.having fun routing the derailleur housing through the bronson? especially the chainstay? patience, my friend . . .

Interesting - downtube on the nomad was the easiest of the three, followed by the dropper (getting the bend back up into the seat tube was a bit of a pain . . . but the one on the chainstay definitely took me many frustrated attempts (and beers).
They're just fucking with you since you bought AL. If you had bought the CC it would all be primo.
$3000 wheel set that cracks, delaminates, has misaligned holes...who buys this shit?

I bet the sadistic tendencies get pushed to new limits when things like that on the PB piece happen.
olololololol
and passing the buck to chris king about price
lllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllll
surprised this wasn't just another "pre Production" set
idk, if i was a bike component i'd probably commit suicide too if i was destined for an e-bike
Seems like they have the optimal technology to do it, and could undercut the competition if their frame is any indication. 300% impact resistance is awesome for frames, but really awesome for carbon rims.
was going to say... e-bike riders?
They need to more clearly label their e-bike articles. I wouldn't have read it otherwise.
I got pretty upset when I got to the end and realized this was an e-bike specific rim
I want a yeti specific formula once their ebike launchesSpeaking of eBike-specific products...I saw this at my lbs earlier today.

well guess we gotta keep the S&M chuckleheads occupied removing coin from the stupid Joey's.
Can't wait for the inevitable - "Yo dude, you gotta step up your lube game, that OG shit aint gonna handle the awesome twist output of teh electro-steed, yous needs to get you some E rated juice"
the fuck?Speaking of eBike-specific products...I saw this at my lbs earlier today.
i love that we can swear here, btw.
Well it is better than "Ringpiece" which is where I went after reading your "Ring of Fire"
Fuck - I need help.
Ring of Fire would be a good name. It’ll be awhile though, the frame/bike order queue is getting pretty long. We just hired four more people to help speed things up. We’re gonna need a bigger boat...
This is also what is wrong with not the bike industry

Hawaii, or at least Maui County, has that law but no one actually does it except Walmart. Buy a bike there and at checkout they make you pay an extra $10 fee. I've never heard of someone getting a ticket for being unregistered.
Bike Lizards are still in the egg compared to the Audiophool world.
I have a Naim audio system that would buy a nice car. but my entire system is less than some spend on cables.
I have been out of the world now for several years, but this is the first thing that came to mind and it is far from the most expensive.
Wilson Audio WAM Master Chronosonic @ a mere 685 000.00 (2016) the pair.
Would the good sir like a pair for the conservatory as well as the a pair for the main parlor?
high end audio design (aesthetics, anyways) fascinates me. this $1M set is pretty:
and turntable design is just bonkers:
this is some fine thread drift.

as much as i hate the buzzword, i really wanna try one.
oof
so "downcountry" is the new enduro since we made fun of enduro too much?
how many months until we decide to go back to calling them freeride bikes?
also, they obviously specced a non-res shock so they could fit a water bottle in there.
