I was wondering, does anyone else thing this music sounds like 'that annoying kid, in school, who wouldn't stop tapping his pencil on the desk mixed with some dude driving by with a ratty system that rattles his sh!t box to pieces'? No, just me?

4X bike check coming?

telemetry literally means to measure remotely. Never is, live readings of data implied as being mutually exclusive from data logging, which would be data acquisition. the only way to know if it is telemetry or not would be to know if they are transmitting data remotely or if it is being acquired by equipment on the bike. but..... potato tomato.

@deknarp: big mad? Get smart kid

@Bobtheguy: you’re not entirely wrong but I have two extras that came with the bike and haven’t used them yet because liteville has a bad ass derailleur protector built into the frame. Also it isn’t a loose spare you have to find a place to store. There is a threaded hole in the chain stays where the extra bolts are stored. And the udh is a terrible design. It is too rigid and destroys derailleurs and frames. I’ve seen both first hand. I mean it even has a stupid name. Universal derailleur hanger… it isn’t universal the frame needs to be built to accept it. Just pop words. But you are right about the bolt coming from syntace, and it usually takes 3-5 business days for shipping ( my frame took 3 days, bars and other parts took 5) remember the prices you see are with VAT. We don’t pay VAT. But I get your point that if it were more local and more common it would make more sense. And your point that you can carry a spare hanger, liteville gets it too, and thought about a novel way to incorporate that into your frame where you won’t lose it and it is always handy. Also if you were to say break your hanger bolt multiple times well you have multiple spares since you could use the derailleur protector bolt and the chain guide bolt as replacements.

@deknarp: Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.

@Bobtheguy: because the bolt is cheaper than a hanger. Also there are extras stashed on the frame . So actually ingenious and way smarter than other hangers

@deknarp: true. I have a bike yoke dropper also with no issues. The eightpins is half the weight though. Also I own a 301 and couldn’t be happier. It is not a supple bike though. Liteville bikes also accept regular seat posts if you don’t want the eightpins post. It has a very similar feel to a 5010 I lusted over a 5010 for years, Got a 2019 5010 and sold it on within six months as it was too similar but not nearly as cool as my 301. I also prefer my 301 over the ripmo and rip9. Suspension just has the feel I’m after in a short travel play bike. Ripmo af built up in similar kit was over 34 pounds my 301 is under 31

@deknarp: because this bike is a prototype may be the reason you have not seen any reviews. Just search liteville 301 reviews here on PB for positive reviews of another bike they make. Or search reviews of liteville 601 for a positive review right here on PB. Search eightpins dropper for a positive review of that also by PB staff. The dropper you haven’t heard of is unique in that a bike must be built to accept it, so admittedly it is not a common dropper however I do own one as well as have owned or tried nearly all high end and some low end droppers. Eightpins is by far the best. Never had any issues in over 4 years of use with only an occasional disassembly to clean out some dust and relube. Also only takes a second to take it apart. https://www.liteville.com/en/436/bikes/601-mk4/601-mk4-geometry/ My geo estimates were based on previous gen 601
