@JoshieK: Got it. So only GPS and those among us with a clue can properly set up a bike? One of our customers (Dialled Telemetry) set up the British Female National Champ's bike using suspension data and she dropped her time by 20 seconds on a 2 minute run. Same rider, same bike, same track, same GPS tracks. They just had to modify almost everything on the shock and fork to properly support the rider and balance the bike. Tokens, Air Pressure, and a few knob twirls. Easy stuff right? And they did this in just a few runs. If GPS was the answer, then there would be no need for BYB or any other system out there. Technology like this is born out of necessity. Hats off to BYB for seeing a need, developing this system from scratch, and having the tenacity to bring it to market. Would be fun to meet up at a park and do some blind testing with a rider. You can develop the bike using GPS and therapy. I'll sit in a cave (my Covid19 home office) and just look at data. See who gets the best results.

Congrats to BYB for making this system and bringing it to market. It will make the world a better place. Life is too short to race or ride a bike that's set up like crap.

Good to see our friends at Cannondale do well in this test!

@kleinschuster: Could be a fun project. We could pony something up for a limited time if you plan on publishing your findings.

In our experience, anything that can be felt can be quantified with numbers. Just by looking at the numbers, we can tell you the damper model/year for most brands. We know what makes the Lyrik a shine at speed and why the Grip-2 was a big improvement over the Fit-4 damper. We have even quantified the benefits of a CushCore insert to your suspension movement and overall vibration you feel when you ride. One thing we know for a fact, and you can take this to the bank, measuring something on a dyno is completely orthogonal to seeing it behave on a specific bike on a trail. A dyno is useful, data on the bike is just as important. In fact, you can take data from the trail and replay it on a high velocity dyno to look at real world force-velocity data. Bottom line, the technology is available and is certainly affordable for anyone designing suspension. Way cheaper than a high velocity dyno (200x cheaper...).

Funny and useful. Putting my bike on the stand now. The comment about wearing pads and lever feel makes sense now.

This was a cool product. Sad to see it come to this.

Holding at 2% at the origin. This holds true as the number of testing has massively increased as well. Trump projects a lot, so when he says something is fake, he's talking about himself.
