    Makes sense. Costco can stock the AliXpress copies.

    Had CRC/Wiggle not gone down the pan Id have seen Sam live out his days just being the living Legend of the brand "Nukeproof" now that's gone he's gotta somehow keep himself relevant to continue bringing in income from bicycles. Wish him well but can't honestly see him bring a true contender in...

    Yeah. I'd agree with you in their XD 11 and 12spd variants. Definitely not in 10spd and lower HG. Difficult to comment on the 11 and 12spd NX/SX HG patern cassettes

    Personal preference but any cassette with that 3 tooth jump between 15 and 18t is right where I don't want the bigger jump. With a 36t chainring its right where I'll be when pedalling back to speed out of a lot if the tighter slower corners we have on many local descents. 15, 17, 19 just gives...

    That jump from 37t to 46t on that XT cassette you mention actually makes a lot of sense on an Ebike but IMO way less so on a normaI bike. ie. Ratio wise it's pretty much the same as a 10spd Deore 11-36 but with a 46t bail out gear. Deore 11-36 is my choice for my Emtb as it keeps sprocket sizes...

    I really don't rate Sunrace cassettes... But it has nothing to do with pedalling backwards :dirol:

    GX mech Shimano HG cassette You think? I've always seen this as more of a chainline/angle and latteral chain stiffness issue than down to which particular brand the cassette it is. Chain angle being fairly extreme when in the largest sprocket on ALL wide ratio cassettes even with *perfect...

    Yeah, a bike's chain growth and chain length affects set up massively. If you look at the arc a SRAM guide pulley moves in as the cage rotates forwards it kinda starts to make more sense as to what chain length will work best and why. IMO you should also completely ignore those plastic SRAM set...

    older 11 speed SRAM mechs manage 46t fine

    who makes the best sealed zs56 headset? (only need lower cup)

    The funny thing is... lots of Trek mtb that come complete with fucking stupid knock block headsets actually have plenty downtube clearance for the crown and adjusters of the fork Trek spec'd them with.

    No doubt there were many books. But AFAIK the film I refer to wasn't taken from one. The novel was written from the screenplay. Ie. After the movie.

    Dunno bout you but I kinda remember hearing about the threat back in the early 80s via a James Cameron Movie

    At least the Haro was a slightly different frame design. Plenty other big teams just ran stock M1s painted and decal'd as something they weren't. Eg. GIANT (Tomac), Muddy fox (Gee & Dan)
