Weight weenies…well, my lube might be carcinogenic, but it will be the lightest lube out there!
Think of the gram savings!

My max cadence is 240rpm. Doesn't mean I'd ever want to be doing it on a climb tho.32x52 and a 26" wheel is only for top level spinner
For my Saint cranks?
Compatibility with saints for sure.
The package for the bash guard would need some fine print from the legal beagles.
"Bash guard is not intended to make contact with the ground, rocks, logs, or any other solid object. Any contact may result in scratches, and beryllium dust contacting the skin of the rider, and the consequent fatality of said rider."
Save you a little weight though!

Agreed!
Something I just realised is that 32x52 is the same ratio as 22x36 which was the lowest ratio with a triple crankset and a 10s cassette back in the days I started mountainbiking. The likelihood of running the same wheel size on each ratio is rather low and 22x36 was pretty useless at the time. My conclusion is that the industry got better at offering useful ratio with only one "minor" downside in the form of gigantic cassettes...
Yeah, but those triples were on 26". It's roughly a 2t step from 27.5 to 29 for the same gear-inches or whatever the unit is called. No idea what it is from 26->27.5, but I'd guess it's somewhat similar. So a 32x52 for a 29" is more like a 26x36 on a 26" bike.
22-36 on 26" is the same as 32-52 on 29"
Have fun playing around with it
Dang, I just realized it's not. 30-52 on the 29er would be roughly the same development.

Yeah. BIMD 24t x 28 was the norm. then in the mid 90s compact cranksets came along and gave us a 22t chainring. Back then I ran 22/36 chainrings with 11-28 cassettes for a decade or so for the sort of riding people now call "Enduro" *cringe*.

transition has some on the new relay
Yeah. But it wasn't there for impacts. More chain retention. So I ran thin Alu ones (sometimes even a plain (no shifting ramps/pins) chainring with the teeth ground off)
What modern cranks take a bash guard? With direct mount the integrated chainring + bash seems like a stupid idea...
I still have an older xt crankset with spider and some bash guards in my shed but the cranks are 175 which is kind of long for a 150cm kid
I don’t need a bash guard on my e-mtb because the motor and its protective plate are lower than the outer edge of the ring
good thing the motor is cheap to replace and simple eh
(I’ve had no issues attributable to this layout in my multiple years with it fwiw)

Mmm, beryllium!
FYI, if anyone's looking to find a Conti Kryptotal FR Enduro in 29, the cheap ones on BikeInn are made in China, not Germany like the other 5 Conti tires I have.
Tread etc looks real, so probably not a fake, but there's a reason why they're only $56 shipped to the US and out of stock everywhere else.
Seriously, it's like a bad dream that keeps coming back. I thought the gullible fucks who brought this nonsense to the World Cups the first time around had been publicly shamed sufficiently. I guess not.people still falling for this shit? embarrassing.

Quite a disgrace to see this garbage on such a big team.
Why?
Do you mean why is it installed incorrectly?
The shifter clamp goes between the grip and the support tab.

It seems like it shouldn't even really be possible to clamp the stabilising brace against the grip but I regularly work on a local delivery rider's Ebike who has his Shimano brakes set up exactly that WRONGLY. It's just how he likes them so who am I to care?
Not on shifters with a gear indicator window like that.
Hmm, yeah, I have only tried without a gear indicator. Fair dinkum.

Yeah. some Deore shifters do too. But the Deore shifter in the pic doesn't even look to be current gen. I simply meant I couldn't tell which particular Deore shifter it was.

I always wondered if those reports were why the Easton CNT bars disappeared so quickly or if it was because they were shit?
I had to get off and walk coz of a dude with a dinner plate cassette a couple of weeks back, half walking speed is a bit slow for 34-34t.
I understand 30-51 if you have mountains that you ride up, but we don't have them here.
