Bonded aluminum and bonded carbon act quite differently at the bond joint

Final Results from the Downhill at Crankworx Rotorua 2024
I’d hope he’s aware enough of a rider to have picked that up prior to sending that safety pick he slapped into. He landed rear hard and slammed that bike in. That was brutal to watch! If that’s the same frame that did hardline, I’m not shocked considering the abuse it’s taken. Does anyone know if those are single or double lap lugs? The Athertons use double lap, I believe there are issues with the bond joint pulling the top layers of laminate off in single lap joints.

Damn, a Yeti 1, 2 for a while there. Congratulations to Lachie Stevens-Mcnab! What a run! Also, Rob and Elliot are great in the booth together.

@joebiden: damn straight anytime anyone asks about toe cages (clips) I always recommend they either get a decent flat pedal or go clipless, those toe cages are evil. The worst is when people pedal with their foot out of the cage and catch something on the ground. I saw a lady do that riding through the park and she was instantly ass-over-teakettle.

@boozed: I’d ride a bike with that paint job, so over matte black or single color bikes, bring back the moose drool bikes from the 90s! My dead frame wall in my shed looks like a rainbow over the years, until about a decade ago when all the frames just turned black for some reason. Maybe it’s to visually minimize the frames since all the tubes are mega sized now, but I have some older Gary Fisher frames with great metal flake purples and reds, three and four tone paint jobs with pin-striping. My old Panasonic road bike with a great blue to white fade and a real subtle metallic finish, (that one isn’t even broke) I have a Trek Boone CX frame that is hazard yellow/black two tone that is asymmetrical, it’s loud but damn sexy.

First Look: Tektro's New Entry-Level Gemini Drivetrain - Taipei Cycle Show 2024
@jubs17: I have one bike with 11sp XT and one with 12sp XT. Frankly, the new microspline 12sp shifts better under load, but standard unloaded shifting is so so compared to old 11sp XT. Since I have nearly 40yrs of shifting experience, from friction to early index shifting, to where we are now, it’s hard to mentally shift gears (pun intended) to shift hard under load. I find the 11sp cassette shifts better using the technique I’ve learned over the decades. I guess I’ll eventually adapt, but I may just keep with 11sp.

Kyle & Rachel Strait Sign with Ari Bikes
That was the point. Started out selling road bikes, they wanted an Italian vibe.

@Bfe6iVay: I've had this cassette on since I built this commuter in 2021, I do a chain every 6mos or so, probably 500 or so miles between chains. The cassette looks great, shifting improves a little with the new chain and then tails off over time. The shifting is never as good as a Shimano cassette but I paid less for the entire drivetrain than I pay for one 11sp XT cassette.
