i was told you couldn’t argue with stupid, i see now that is sound advice.
For your handy capped acceptance criteria.
What does accredited world championship mean? It means i either built, designed and built the power plant- vehicle or was the athlete behind them !
You say the average...
Gary, you really need to take a coarse in physics. You also need to get off the skill wagon bashing and the baseless bash wagon.
To be honest i quite tired of listening to your faceless baseless babble!!
You want to jump on bash wagon or bragging wagon.
I try to post real world testing and...
So i have been working for almost two years now on wheels.
Yes ebike spec wheel sets.
What makes them different.
There wider, stronger and have reinforced spoke centers so spokes can’t pull through the wheel as easily.
I made my own wheels as i have broke everything on the market on my...
wow Some great insight.
One thing i May add. Most the local bike shops that are good, meaning have put in the time to learn how to setup bikes come from having a demo model and learning the bike and it’s secrets.
Another interesting point.
It was cheaper for me to buy a consumer direct bike...
I wasn’t referring to small items, or even large bike parts, more so the sale of a complete bike at wholesale price retail direct.
One thing i have noticed. I have been loyal to several shops, moto shop for my dirt bikes and LBS.
THE moto shop i been with 19yrs now they sell me parts at cost...
But spectators
But spectators don’t come to watch two average Blake’s grudge match, every sport relies on outside influence to drive it forward.
If you take all the profit out then you destroy the driving force behind it.
Then with no profits development slows down.
Look at motocross, on a...
This is not a rant or rave. It’s a question for all.
How do you all feel about this new trend of bike companies selling bikes retail direct to consumer and giving no support to local bikes shops.
Basically there selling complete bikes retail to customers at dealer pricing.
This leaves no...
I have hard of them. But don’t know anyone with them. Do they bite like saints?? I don’t like the harsh feel of saints, there stopping power is good but i find i chatter the back wheel in rough trails with saints. Prefer a more modular apply.
Here she is, 130mm dropper, deity bars and stem, Tnt Carbon hoops, Dt Swiss spokes & locking nipples, hope4 hubs, hope floating disk, rc3 charger cartridge re valved , Debon air rod.
I made my own Carbon hoops as i couldn’t find any that would hold up or wide enough.
So let’s fast forward, started with 32 internal rear and recap, 32-34-36 rear rims all bent inward on the sides, all my rim dings pushes outer edge inward or completely folded it into the rim.
In last few months i have gone mad.
36-38-40-43.5 internal rims on rear.
Cush core in all wheels, 36...
So we did a test today with 7 riders. 2 where woman.
7-0. On the results.
27.5x2.8 eddy in rear with 29x2.6 Mary up front. Soft adix both front and rear.
On 3 bikes. 160-160 race, 180. And another brand bike lol.
Tires we tested, 2.6 DHF front, 2.6 DHR2 rear, 2.8 DHR2, 2.6DHF WR on rear...
Been using the same stuff for decades. I use my moto bike cleaning methods on my ebike and acoustic bike.
Power washer for chain, soft sponge and simple green.
Air compressor to blow dry chain and tight areas, brake calipers.
Microfiber towel to finish off.
Motorcyc
dirt bikes have had fixed gearing and no problems with chain tension. But a simple idler wheel solves that issue quite easily and affectingly.
It will however make rear suspension geometry center line become important.
Lmao, my eye site is only blurred when trail gets rough at speed.
And upclose reading i need cheaters.
I walked it 10 times in disbelief that a 20mm tall rock can cut a tire and destroy a rim just rolling down the trail. Nothing like that ever happen on my 26r or my evil.
But two back...
I’m not light at 200-203lbs, but 95% of the time i walk back looking for what broke the wheel or cut the tire and i can’t find anything that even remotely should brake a wheel.
There been a couple i earned for sure.
Look at the picture, somewhere from where u can see to where the bike is...
Gary, i think the low pressure started with plus size bikes and bike shops.
I can tell u when i got my bulls ebike the shop said oh 18-24psi is what u should run. I never had a plus bike so set at 22 and almost died on first hard g Turn, and before i got home destroyed back rim and tire...

I’ve been a year in testing only on ebikes with our carbon rims. After destroying 1-carbon and 3 alum wheels in 2 days. I decided to take a go at carbon wheels as i like the response they give
6 different types of graphite and 3 different temp epoxy resins.
There not unbreakable but they have...
