@microwaveric: Agree with all you've said, I get annoyed with moving brake lever every time on certain kid bikes, but at least there is the option to load kid bikes! I wish the DH cradles could adjust smaller to accommodate little bars. My wife and I can handle the pin tilt with 4 bikes loaded, but I need to unload my XL bike beforehand, there isn't enough clearance on the back tire even on a full-size truck with the aftermarket height extender. I just use a bungee for the front tires to keep them from spinning. DH carbon bar shows no sign of wear, but enduro alloy bar paint has rubbed off-could add some foam to cradle for extra protection. With all the caveats this is still the best option, too many other positives to this design. Yakima looks like they just plasticfied it, lol 25lb weight limit off road.

Anyone else have problems unclipping with a soft sole shoe ie Rideconcepts / 5.10? I find the inside of the sole hits the crank and I get stuck. Only way to unclip is to have the crank in the 12 o'clock position, which I rarely do when I'm about to fall over...maybe just my wide feet.

@Caddz: Exactly my impression. My yeti is built for speed, has no pop off a lip and likes going straight. My one.2 is so much more fun and despite a lot more travel, has a platform to push off from. Short chainstays and slack seat angle are part of the equation for a more “have fun” oriented bike. Incredible that a fun bike can be an efficient climber too.

Whatever happened to the huge tarrifs against Bafang, weren’t they the original Chinese high powered mid mount motor? Seems like the race to more power has been lost or never was really contemplated by china’s competitors

The only legitimate uses in my book. Tow the kid and have an actual mtb to go down on sounds awesome, but am I really gonna dust my kid and wait at the bottom?

Turning mtb trails into dirt bike trails. I can’t wait to power up DH trails for “impossible climbs” then YouTube people’s reactions. “Yield to uphill bro”

750 watts is what I use to take both kids to school on a 70 lb bike up a steep ass hill. 250 watts should have been the standard.

I want a backpack I can easily strap to my handle bars/stem for extended climbs. More weight off my back to keep the front tire down and more ventilation.

@whitebirdfeathers: I’ve got two from Troy Lee. Stretchy nylon. Looks good, cuts the wind and insulates a bit. One of my favorite layers
