Couldn't really decide if this should be in this thread, or the what's right with the industry one:
On one hand, it comes from pro riders actually looking for ways to improve their experience.
On the other one, they're grip shifts...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with people experimenting with parts and setups.
That's awesome, just need to do a rebrand and sell it to hipsters on fixies, maybe call it the quick wristy or something catchy.
Give it 20 years and they will ride 64° HA, 78° SA, 160 mm travel FS bikes with riser bars.
These didn't take off it seems, on spesh for $38AU, hahaha!
I'd hope is was better made than Controltech bar I had.

Had a head on collision with team spandex on a local trail this way. His brake lever smashed my left digit finger joint at the middle phalanx in two parts, could've been way worse though. The japanese knotweed was pretty tall, we didn't see each other until we were two meters apart.
They'll be the only ones without electric motors and we'll make fun of the fitness freaks who spend all day pedaling on dirt roads when they could be shralping flow/jump trails on 30lb e-bikes that set the correct speed for jumps and use a gyro to straighten out before landing.Give it 20 years and they will ride 64° HA, 78° SA, 160 mm travel FS bikes with riser bars.
Udi will still be crawling down vertical muddy roots while searching for the perfect brake system.
you think someone could ride up val di sole?
Not even a snide or sarcastic reply from you? I agree!
But yeah I think the yielding rule should vary depending on the trail. Around here there aren't really many one direction trails, so you'll have dimwits trying to go up trails that are generally known as "downhill". It can be pretty darn hard to slow down and stop on our sandy loose fast trails.
Luckily, as long as we aren't riding in Toronto, everyone seems to yield no matter one, which leads to a friendly awkward standoff.
And when I'm hiking or going up, I pretty much always go to the side. Way easier to stop for a moment as a hiker and I don't want to ruin someone's fun going down.
You forgot that the ebike riders will just be watching the live stream of their bike riding itself through a vr headset
Someone needs to photoshop that screen to
class 1, no doubt.
@Udi actually claims he's already found it and we are all delusional fools thinking we could use some other brand/model.
He also needs a 2022-updated Iron Horse Sunday in his life, so go figure...
Anyway, happy new year old crusty Monkey fellows! May the upcoming Armageddon find you ripping some awesome laps on your favorite trails!!!

People are always way too concerned that they need to ride a trail at max-speed as if it's the last time in their life they will ever get to ride it. Like what if around the next corner is an old lady and man (not all nimbly-bimbly) out for a stroll? Gunna make them jump off the trail or just hit them? Yeah, directional trails, no question, but damn near every non-directional trail is multi-use, there are some exceptions, but those tend to be just that, exceptions. F-the riders that can't freaking stop and yield for other traffic on the trail. If you are having a problem with this, the solution is go ride somewhere less popular.
uhm, look closer. his downhill trails simply suck if they can be ridden uphill.
Signing up for a race will show most how slow they actually are. Therefore they make up Strava segments so they can feel fast for a day or two.
Also true for mountain bikers.
I know this is some sort of computer voodoo but it is going to be for sale soon as a cheap E-Bike.
I really hope it comes out radially spoked.

Like that pig is going to benefit from an aero seatpost..,
thats probably the battery housing
I was assuming the battery was in the seat tube and they tried to put some lipstick on the pig.
What's he using? I'm curious if it's all one brand. Of course now that DT Swiss in Grand Junction, CO is Trickstuff I expect to have to whole fleet switched over from Shimano by year's end.
