Herbert is the man! Love dealing with him cause there is just enough edge of understanding going on to make it interesting and the end results so far have been beyond expectations in regards to overall cost and shipping time. Eat that Specialized $1400/ battery needers!
May or may not be...
I visited that Arborist gear site and checked out that coat and do think it would work for bike use. Actually @$137 not an outlandish price either.
On the subject of the uni suit above that to me is the holy grail of wet weather gear. It is really odd that more manufacturers don't have a like...
I was thinking the same and have been working on my winter of 22' coat rack and got this beauty for 1/2 price off a Gear Grab site:
Bike related as it is a Specialized product. Waterproof and auto/hunter resistant for times needed. Green jacket to the left is a older Grundens that is my go to...
I'd sell the stock wheels from my Z1 with stock Maxxis tyres for cheap but getting them to you would be cost prohibitive from the US/OR. Might be able to sneak them into BC via my son who is on visit but still it just cost me $30cdn to get a shock sent to Van from Montreal area and they said it...
It just baffles me why manufacturers like Giant, Specialized etc. with all their bulk buying power charge so much for their batteries. A similar battery using the best cells and the proper stock type case for my bike was less than $400 delivered?
I started using Oakley's when a friend was a rep for them and set me up with an account for my small mtb shop in VT. in 86'. From there I just kept using them and I would say most of them came to me for free cause my kid was good friends with a major player in the company and I could just get...
No but when I got home and gingerly flopped on my bunk upon getting up, once again gingerly, I had to take the coverlet outside to shake off all the sand.
And if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears.......There were three gals on horses well behind me that might have seen the aftermath...
Tested out my new MIPS helmet yesterday. While riding on a usually perfectly flat beach cruising with a tailwind in the high teens I came upon a 1' drop off that if I was prepared for it wouldn't have been an issue but I hit the deck like an old lady on a cruise ship, to quote Rob Warner, and...
It is bikes like the above, which style originated in Australia years ago and has been copied widely by the Chinese ever since, that will hopefully go away pending the new legislation that will fine heavily non compliant to Federal rules and regs for eBikes of which the Class type bikes are a...
I say we chip in for Zimmerframe's hardline entry fee next year!
I am just glad that the queen got to see Warner's last call for RedBull btw. There might be a knighthood coming for the boy you never know, especially if he accepts in that bathing suit o_O
Wayne is correct, Fat Bikes have wider bb's for the very reasons he states and is most likely why the OP's idea of mating a narrower bb front triangle to a wider spaced rear triangle won't work.
Not to poke the bear but I also fail to see the advantage of wider than 3.0 tires for trail riding...
I go by this pond frequently and yesterday something drew me to stop and take a pano on a nice early fall day.
Upon seeing it on a screen though there is something going one by my bike that I can't explain.
It is under development in China and a collaboration between several carbon builders so it will probably show up around the end of the year under a few different names. Bottom line is that there is little gap time between what the major players do and the clones that follow. Some hit the mark...
