it limits how wide you can make the frame and suspension pivot, bad for stiffness-to-weight ratio. It works for road since they have narrow chainstays and want to keep the downtube somewhat narrow and aero. If you compare a PF92 frame like a new Scott (same width as a BB386 would be if done on a MTB) to a BSA frame like Santa Cruz the difference in the width of everything around the BB is massive. What frame designer wouldn't want that room to work with?
Different model insert from Tannus. They make this thing that's like a thick foam Mr Tuffy Tire Liner.
Self steer with 4" tires, in my experience, has indicated that I should increase tire pressure somewhat.
QFT. Most offices here won't let you get your bike indoors here, none if your office is in Boston proper.
I have duly been corrected, and will now commit hari-kari with a broken Cush Core lever/persuader.
the thing that looks like a buttplug? you might get moar suffering* if inserting it in the proper orifice!
uh, this is just physics. a heavy wheel/tire setup rotating will act as a gyroscope. part of why motorcycles are stable at speed
Don't need it. It's nice when whirring along at 25-30 mph as I often do, me contributing maybe 125W, the "bike" kicking in 900.and you *need* this for commuting...
again, it's just physics. they would be more stable if they had more rotating mass. but clearly they don't see that as a worthwhile tradeoff.
The bike room at my new office is certified dank. A) it exists, B) it’s key card unlocked, c) it’s near the door to the building, D) it’s across from the gym and locker rooms. That’s where I’ll park the spooky
I saw some really nice ones on twitter....
He's probably hungry for some Thai food. Great, now I am too.
Oh I'm talking about the Tannus tubeless inserts!
Because most bicycles are sold to average Joe's who don't know anything about bikes. So most of these bikes are sold by looks.
this, all day long. when i worked in shops, for every bike we sold that was over $2000 we'd sell 20 bikes $500 or less. we'd even have people walk out because the cheapest bikes (around $300 at the time) we still "too expensive"
i used to hang my bike right next to the rapha clubhouse entrance, right on the sales floor.
