Video: 120 Bikes Hucked to Flat In Ultra Slow Motion (1000FPS)

 I enjoyed watching forearms jiggle. Very exciting.

 They also put a Short of fails up on Youtube:

 The guy doing the jumping was that also his angry sex face?

 I’d buy an ebike before I even thought about buying a piece of shit Defender

 Defending upper middle class people from feeling inferior in the grocery parking lot

 @rickybobby19: nah, that defender does not look bad at all.
maybe a second hand one but not older than 1-2 years. would be a good fit

 For real I wonder what crank that was.

 @blueH2Oj: It was one of those carpet fiber jobbers.

 @blueH2Oj: they were Praxis carbon cranks iirc

 @BamaBiscuits: that’s my recollection as well.

 @BamaBiscuits: Same cranks my lbs was trying to sell me. Glad I went with the alloy ones.

 would depend massively on what gear it's done in to see PK.

 As a rider who always rides with slow forward momentum, I can tell you pedal kickback is real. I especially feel it on my 2018 Santa Cruz Nomad which has high engagement hubs

 weak ankle people know about pedal kickback and cry about it, normal people don't

 Just look at devinci Spartan huck...

 That's a site for sore Ayes!

 Unless the lower pivot rotates around the crank, a gearbox bike still needs a chain tensioner. Chain getting slapped into the dirt could still happen with a gearbox.

 Have a look at 10:07. That's a derailleur bike and no mech is getting thrown around and the chain's far from the ground.

 @Ttimer: This is true. However, the tensioner would only need to account for the chain growth associated with the linkage's kinematics and not chain growth + the difference of 40-ish teeth between the largest and smallest cogs. So the chain and tensioner will be considerably shorter (unless I'm missing something, which is always possible). If I'm conceptualizing this correctly, I think the chain would be about 20 links shorter since only half of cog is engaged at any given instance.

 @pmhobson: This.
The problem is more with the dinner plate cassette requiring a long cage mech and long chain.

 @tremeer023: Also seems like if you didn't have to move the chain side-to-side, you could put more tension on it, further reducing whatever slop there might be. But now I'm really out of my depth.

 I watched the MC Contra over and over... just looks so different than the rest

 As well as some ankles

 Why not to run carpet fiber cranks.

 Exactly or no gravel bikes. Weak sauce.

 Why no unicycles?!

 @barp: Lots of trails and mountain unicycles being hucked to flat, don't worry. You just won't see any fork or frame suspension action, which is what these huck to flats are all about.

 @vinay: And here I thought I had made what was unmistakably a joke.

 @barp: And I thought I answered your sincere question .

 He made like a tree and Levy’d

 @pmhobson:

 That's so 2018.

 Sarcasm or not, intended or not, me not getting it or not...that's a well placed Freud for the ebike crowd.

Disclaimer: I don't like or dislike ebikes, but do enjoy some word play.

 It made never want to buy even more than I never wanted to before.

 @blueH2Oj: it’s the exact commercial ai would build off of my internal land rover stereotype

 But imagine if all bikes in store or online were displayed with no air or coil in fully bottomed out mode. This video skews my perception of what is goof aesthetics - mistype there 'good' but goofy is what most of these steeds look like.

 @Lumenous1: But showing a bike fully bottomed out doesn't show how it rides both descending, climbing and how the suspension will feel. It does shows some info on how a bike bottoms out and what flexes, but it still doesn't influence my bike buying.

 IIRC, the rotors on their control wheels didn't fit on the BMC so they just ran it brakeless for this test.
