I should have been more clear, I'm referring to the presentation not the bike. Bike seems like a fun homegrown idea.

Yea I didn't watch the video. Dude looked like a hoser. And there are worse bikes to copy.

No kidding, hop on an e-bike and smash his KOMs in revenge...
Strava doesn’t kill people. People with strava kill people

"This is not a game". What?? Last time I checked, I'm playing in the dirt. It IS a game and you just got played.
I will reiterate, it's not Strava, it's morons
If I make it to 90, I figure even an IV drip of cocaine wouldn’t enable me to win that race
Sram can't figure out disc brakes and dropper post after 20 years and they expect a derailleur to work?

Can't ride this afternoon, I've got to charge and bleed my derailleur.
Word! You know how after lifting a reverb you have to re-bleed it? What's going to happen when you tap the derailleur on a rock/branch?
Sram better work on putting a master cylinder in the downtube that feeds their brakes, dropper post and derailleur at the same time. Wonder if Special-Ed is working with them ala Swat box.
We will have internal gears (and flying cars) first.
Please no, they are a serious pain to get a half decent brake bleed out of a bar mounted reservoir.
Can you imagine the orientations you would have to get your frame into to get all the trapped bubbles out.
My feedback sports stand is cowering in the corner at just the thought.
And spend two months arguing about it with other tinkerbois...
I love the idea of replacing the friction clutch with hydraulic damping. Right now Sram is afraid to negatively impact shifting or create a clunking noise so their "clutch" is so weak that you get chain slap and need to use a guide. At least with Shimano you can choose your preference. Sram basically hasn't had a clutch since the first year of XX1.
While that certainly sucks, to be fair it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the bike industry.
CES is filled with plastic bluetooth garbage gadgets. Alexa-enabled underwear and rice cooker drones.
It almost makes the bike industry look good.

Can't wait to have to try to rebuild this. Not sure there are enough beers in the world.
Doesn't look any worse than a clutch mech. I've rebuilt several.Can't wait to have to try to rebuild this. Not sure there are enough beers in the world.
I can't wait to learn what the awesome name the marketing people will come up with for that new standard.
MB2LOL for "Missing B2-Link Optimized Layout" would be perfect.
This is not Saint m800 technology, this is completely different.

say what you want, but I'm digging the retro paint scheme!
poignant comment as the original pipeline, which had that color scheme, had a vanilla R IIRC.
some marketing schmuck has deemed it so.
i think that's actually a thing now, other than the old heads i personally know a lot of folks i see out (on the rare occasion i get out lately) have been riding less than 10 yrs. a lot of that under 5 yrs.

They're offering metric trunnion sizes that are kinda rare in a coil? I'd agree in general, if you have some old "standard" sized shock.
A lot of "what's wrong with the industry" in my response.
