Bike Check: Cesar Rojo's Avinox-Powered Unno Mith Commuter

If it has proper bushing overlap it'll work well without too much flex. The constant increase in stanchion size has more to do with poor bushing tolerances and manufacturing tolerances

@freerideglory: The older motorbike stuff was a cord the new stuff is gyroscopes. Alpinestars spent years developing it in MotoGP and as far as I know it's also a requirement for the Dakar riders

Really depends what the e scooter is doing doesn't it. No real issue with them been a bit faster than 25km/hr but theres a video circulating of a guy doing over 100km/hr on a dual carriageway here no helmet or anything. 5 kids in ICU at the minute with major head injuries from crashes off these things. A police officer hospitalised a couple weeks ago by been rammed by a kid on an e scooter. No issue with e scooters in of themselves but people driving them acting like dicks is always a problem

@SJP: They literally have portable Dyno's for power and can enforce action is they see them over 25km/hr. Most European police forces have calibrated speedos in their cars so they can follow and verify. Also they can prosecute for reckless/ dangerous driving

Review: Sour Bicycles Double Choc - Exotic Normal

Have 2 mara pros on bikes there a great shock. fit and forget, good support. The only thing is they ship without the IFP at correct pressure for some reason so you need to pump it up and have also found you need to keep an eye on the IFP pressure as it drops, same on two of these shocks. Other than that really great support I did hard bottom out one of them on a weird drop into the uphill bit of a ditch and no I'll effects

UPDATE: VHS Founder Alleges Corporate "Sabotage" in RideWrap & Dyedbro Dispute

@Bliss503: Outside of the US. A product looking like another generally isn't enough to enforce action. I also believe VHS is a NZ company and Ridewrap is Canadian and not a clue about Dyedbros always assumed they were Chinese

@ishouldbebiking: Well if there's no patents or trademarks there's not much ridewrap can do. If the dyedbros products are made with their own molds no VHS assets were used. Sounds messy but doesn't sound like there's any sort of legal case here to me
