all i will say is that the swiss have some wild names. i work with a dude named Beat (pronounced Be-at)
there was also a dominant male DH skier by the name of Beat. Feuz was his last name I think. I seem to remember him being something of a tank.
Have had some creaking/knocking or some weird noise from the front of my bike, which has been getting worse.
I just took the headset out and the upper was quite gritty and rough feeling. Replaced it with another bearing and moved on to drink another beer.
Imagine if I had to deal with that through headset cable routing? I'd be looking at replacing the derailleur cable, bleeding the brake and drinking 4x as much beer.
How many of these brands that are doing headset routing also have a sustainable bullshit page?
There is no upside to that kind of cable routing. Looks be damned.

But, how come you had already an upper gritty and rough bearing? More grease, less beer?
It's the one thing I didn't touch when I had the bike taken apart over winter.But, how come you had already an upper gritty and rough bearing? More grease, less beer?
Go figure.
If this isn't the source of the sound, methinks I'll be looking for a deal on a Fox 38 in the future.
Smashpot foot studs.
Fucking things are so tight you think you are going to shatter the lowers when you hit it with what seems like way way to much force. It just sits there laughing. Then you say, oh ya? - and get out the ball-peen to replace the dead-blow. You then proceed to give your thumb a real good whack. And the footstud just laughs harder.
Don't ask me how I know.

Just do it like we did back in the day with Marzocchi. Impact wrench. I bet it won't stand up to UGGAS.Smashpot foot studs.

Just got an email from RaceFace about their Turbine and Era bars. All different widths, rise and colors! Altogether, about 150 options!
Click on the link and they're all out of stock but 1 choice...
Maybe choose better timing of your emails?

You can choose any as long as its that one!
Arrrgh, she went off with a bang today.
Seems when I thought was slipping when the hub was new was the outer section of the pawls coming off then the next bangs were the pawls snapping.
I'm not sure if they are case hardened or chrome plated but the edges are peeling on the other ones.
I don't think it's my grease of choice or my assembly, I think I just got a dud.

Ah yes there is a hidden TV app that's not visible in either Samsung TV store nor Apple TV store. Why did I think a TV station might have a live TV app that's not available for TV's. That's so logical it must have designed by Sethimus and he's being catty because he's definding his life's achievement. Sorry bro.
Cane creek has a new thing tomorrow, possibly a fork.
Why create hype?
Why not?

To sell the product, duh.
Inverted gravel fork
I had the same thought.
I have 40C degrees of fever and plus some other issue that might be tmi. I'm so tired even a bomb couldn't trigger me my little spatzle.
It can be an e gravel bike specific fork or one of those reasonable enduro dual crowns since someone already had that idea recently (why?)
Because if real freeride/downhill is too hardz fer you, you could always scale down the darn thing, but keeping the proportions. Just like 1:32 model car racing.
Really he should be referring to his wiener-schnitzel.
neither of us are austrian. if you would have said Saitewürschtle you‘d get a bonus point. but expecting anyone here to be versed in swabian dialect is asking too much
Schbinn Di!
Nobody said it couldn't be done. They said it *shouldn't* be done.
But hey, progress is progress. Now if they can just figure out a way to mount flat, low rise narrow flat handlebars on there, we can recreate the late 90's mountain bike, but more expensive.

I can tell from the position of his brake levers that he spends more time "theorizing" than riding real mountain bikes on real trails.
Here's the official UCI instergraim showing footage of Benoit Coulanges winning a Downhill WC to kick off their... *checks notes* uh, XC coverage
