Comment on Utterly Butterly! SRAM Patents Shock-Fluttering End Mounts by Mr RichardH

Even if the eye-to-eye length stays the same, the shaft length – and therefore the stroke – will reduce, won’t it? Won’t that also decrease the shock volume and increase the required spring pressure to reach sag, making it oven harder to overcome stiction? Or have I missed something?

In reply to Wood_stix. Blast from the past I remember having bikes with Dunlop. That is a great point you make!

In reply to Patrick. Hopefully they come up with new valves that require is to use a T49 bottom bracket

In reply to Dirk. I like the idea of a praeder valve that's a bit bigger than a schrader valve but works like a huge presta valve.

In reply to Rider. Every minipump I've owned in the last 15yrs will thread onto a schrader valve.

I did this on my fat bikes when I had them. Now that I’m riding such low pressure in my road bikes, it really makes sense to have schrader valves on my road bikes too

In reply to Fig Ciocc. Snobs can also like the continuity of only having prestas as presta valves used to mean(and still sorta do) your bike costs more than most

Didn’t Guerrilla Industry LLC patent this thermoplastic process?

The “brake bridge” in the photos is for mounting fenders and need not be installed for normal use…the formed headtube is also not new, my 2018 Emonda ALR has a hydroformed headtube, also. Glad Trek is still making aluminum road bikes, though.

How about dropping weights in metric too. Can’t be that difficult.

Never thought I’d see the return of Elastomers in suspension.

Hi Anna,
I took inspiration from your story and cycled around Val d’Aran and Aiguestortes National Park with my Gravel bike. What an amazing scenery. One of my best experiences 🙂 and the local people are just such a pleasure.
Thanks!

Comment on 7mesh Introduces New PFAS-Free Airmap Clothing for Road, Gravel & MTB by sirbikealot

sirbikealot — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 18:44:35 +0000

7Mesh stole their brand name from the first nation of Squamish, the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw . The worst of it is 7mesh never asked the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw people and have never even engaged with them for compensation….. By the way they’re partially owned by Lululemon who use coal powered factories to produce their “Be Human, Be Well, and Be Planet” moto… what a joke

I noticed that you did not compare it to the Maxxis Receptor. I would guess that the Reaver rolls slower, but it may be a good complement as a front tire with the Receptor in back.

Clearly both have some up and downsides, so the only solution would be to come up with a competing 3rd “standard” that isn’t compatible with either one, and somehow three times as expensive while offering marginal benefits.
