Shut your whore mouth.
yep. Never would have sought it out, but it’s pretty faultless.
How long does a full battery last, and do you remove the der. to recharge? Or, what's involved with charging?
Battery clips off the component and then charges in a little cradle powered by micro USB. S and I both have SRAM wireless on our road bikes.
I've never tracked how long the charge lasts, but each component has a LED that shows current charge, green, orange - you should probably charge at the end of your ride, red - don't plan on a 24 hour race right now.
lasts me weeks. The derailleur has a status light on it to allow you to check the charge level.
you pop the battery out to charge it. The setup comes with a charger. Takes about 30-45mins to charge a drained battery. I bought a spare for the hell of it.
Made an impulse mullet buy today. Local shop had one on the floor and I couldn't pass it up. Need to swap a bunch of parts, but stoked so far.
French’s Mustard Yellow?
Wear a red skin suit with a pickle green helmet!!? Game on....
I like it...I had a scuba yellow bullet way back when...but no red skin suit unfortunately...so now he can live my dreams..
My wife suggested “road stripes yellow”.
Yeah, no servo-wave. Less absolute power too, but doesn't bite down nearly as aggressive. I don't find my XTR race brakes lack power for their purpose, but they aren't enduro brakes for sure. The carbon lever is nice for insulation.
One day I will have enough self control that I can afford to buy a whole bike in one shot.
In ~20 years I have bought one complete bike, and it was used.

Chainsuck machine?
bought from good ol blue wheel at its OG Elliewood Ave location after my Kaitai was stolen off my car in Richmond. Hit some sweet Big Levels loops on it and lots of Walnut Creek and Panorama Farms laps.
broke chainstay about a year later....
That was the last non pub bike my brother bought, it is all original and still waiting for its first service.
The Cane Creek shock still works too.
I bought an Intense Tazer HT which lasted a few months before it cracked, luckily bought it from a bike shop worker so I got warranty.
Nice. Scott Paisley from Blue Wheel is one of the few people I will ever trust to touch one of my bikes, awesome human being to boot.
When I was back in the 'ville earlier in the month I couldn't bring myself to ride any of the in town trails. I had the time so mountains please.
Oooh, nice! What is happening under the head tube, a spacer of some sort?Made an impulse mullet buy today. Local shop had one on the floor and I couldn't pass it up. Need to swap a bunch of parts, but stoked so far.
Nothing, just the crown
Sucked it up and got the 9120 lever, the 9100 just wasn’t going to cut it.
Dependable steed w/ some fresh front meat on Cathedral Ledge in North Conway NH last week. Rode half day after this shot, what a trail...
Did you get across the street to the Hurricane Mt trails? I hope you did. Great stuff over there.Dependable steed w/ some fresh front meat on Cathedral Ledge in North Conway NH last week. Rode half day after this shot, what a trail...
I didn't, we had a very short timeline on our way up to Maine after riding Thunder and Highland for a few days. I know I missed tons of good stuff in the area, headed back up in early October.

In other news my lady (who just started riding DH last September) basically cleaned all the tech she rode in the bike parks. Now it looks like we are buying a DH bike after she rode this rental v10 down ODB/ODC @highland (my favorite loop)
Looks like a seatRad trail conveyance there! But whats with the wood chub in the background?

It's an egg. In a few months, a beautiful Adirondack chair will emerge.
wow. crabon. fancy. I don't know whether to be jealous that my missus doesn't ride, or relieved
Looks like it's hanging. could it be one of those hanging wicker garden chairs?Rad trail conveyance there! But whats with the wood chub in the background?
Correct! It is much less comfortable/practical than you’d think!
As far as fancy goes, yeah… certainly more bike than she needs. But what the hell. It came up and it was a solid deal for what it is. Plus, if I kill mine, I now have a pretty solid backup rig!
