Review: Fair Bicycle's Drop Best Offset Saddle Clamp Looks Weird, Works Great
Moving the saddle forward should actually reduce the amount of load on the dropper bushings, right?
As long as the clamp can handle that leverage...

Review: Amflow PL Carbon Pro eMTB - Blitzing Trails & Bending Rules
Almost all ebike motors have plastic gears of some sort. They are rarely the source of failure.

OneUp Components Announces Running Change to Clip Pedals
Agreed. This sounds like a significant safety issue that could result in potential lawsuits. I like how they are handling it, but they really had no choice after pushing out a product that wasn't quite ready.

Please provide a link for this $5 snap ring tool for those teeny tiny snap rings. I haven't found a tool that works for those.

Thought Experiment: How Good Could e-Bikes Get?
True, and not only that, the motor mounting points change every few years, so you're SOL if you can't get repair parts. And with proprietary comm protocols between batteries and controllers and displays, the odds of being able to hack in some replacement is very low. With so many brands, models, etc. it's unlikely someone will have a working hack for your exact model year, revision, etc.

OneUp Announces New EDC Tube Strap Mount & Inline Pump Mount
Yes, the straps do not last long. I uploaded my 3D printed replacement to Printables, which I printed in Ninjaflex which is amazingly durable TPU.

Tech Randoms: Les Gets XC World Cup 2023
Yep, they don't look much different than the ones I used nearly 20 years ago. Great balance of grip and speed.
