Hows everyone getting on with their New AMflow

[Lightme]

I for one (Aussie) am enjoying the fallout and tantrum throwing that comes from the US exceptionalism mindset.
Amflow: “America, you can’t have this bike because of reasons”
US-MAGA-Person: “We didn’t want it anyway, it’s a crap bike made in a third world country and we’re the best, we only buy Freedom Bikes (please let me buy one)”

 

[LowStandards]

The reason being America is a third world country?

Amflow: “America, you can’t have this bike because of reasons”

Once those tariffs bite it won't be affordable anyway!

All the more for Europe

I’m a maga person? IOI , I could not be farther from it. I have had experience with Chinese manufacturers though. My old job required me to travel to China and set up production lines. I have worked with both mainland China and Taiwan. I have seen in person the old apple factory where they had to string up nets around the buildings to prevent people from killing them selves. In China they have so many laws that there is no way you can’t brake them, this allows the government to jail anyone anywhere anytime. People are required to get a job and hold a job. They do not give a crap anything except staying out of jail. As for my dislike of newer house hold items, please look up “Planned obsolescence”, most items are designed to fail these days. My neighbor bought a shiny new dryer with a 5 year warranty, the heating element lasted 62 months. You think that was just bad luck? Planned obsolescence built into most corporate house hold products these days….. knowing is half the battle.

Oh geez, I apologize for my part in getting forum off-track by responding to a slavery comment and down the rabbit-hole of politics!
As a non-maga citizen of the bluest state in the union, living in the most liberal part of that state with its diverse population and the world’s 5th largest economy we must be doing something right.
As home to many popular bike brands (Specialized, Santa Cruz, Ibis, Crestline) and a claim to the origin of mountain biking we have an inclusive bike community and great trail networks to share, so speaking for myself I think I’ll stick to get back to the purpose of this forum.

OMG.... stop this nonsense over here!

STOP!

What is it with Americans and “d88k wagging”? Can we get this thread back on track.

I checked in to see how this Amflo thread was going, and I'm greeted with civil wars
What's going on, I thought it was a ebike forum

Off to the civil war forum for me, might get the answer to SRAM v Shimano I have always wanted

Looks like the paint is an issue so wrap it before you ride it. The screen came back on after he changed it so I guess he just had to turn it off and on again.

What's your problem?
Feeling a little inferior today?

I just picked up the carbon PL, the bike is decent but the dropper is a piece of shit. I don't know if it's just the lever or the lever and dropper but it's stiff and feels terrible to use

Feeling inferior “today”? My post was over three weeks ago. You’re a bit slow on the uptake mate.
Inferior regarding what? Our healthcare system? Education cost and outcomes? Rates of homicide? The fact I can buy an Amflow?
Nah I’m good.

Thanks for the follow up but I don't believe it's faulty. Just horrible to use, the lever feel is not smooth and requires more force than I am used too. Over time I will become accustomed to it I guess.

I reckon you'd have to be feeling inferior about not being from NZ.
We all know Ockers are closet Kiwi's and spend their whole lives wondering what it's like to go in the bush without something trying to kill you.
Seriously. How do you do it? I don't know if I could actually ride in Oz...with all the danger noodles, bitey bugs and drop bears, I'd be spending more time watching the surroundings and less time actually riding.

Haha I do actually! I love visiting NZ, could be my favourite country.
