10 Wild Historic Bikes - Sea Otter 2021

crazy progress in design from 1880s-1890s... (does that Lu-Mi-Num even have an integrated headset??) and it looks like we've just changed axle standards and fork rake in the 130 years since...

I would appreciate a slow-mo huck-to-flat video to see how the wrinkles shake out too.

I almost feel sorry for them. Imagine finding happiness in downvoting well wishers of someone battling a potentially life-changing illness...

The Santacruz Syndicate Are Using Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Rims

Yep. Nano tubes were the next big thing for road bikes and components in 2005. Doesn't mean this isn't better, but it isn't new.

First Ride: Santa Cruz's New Bronson Gets a Mullet for 2022

Noticed the same. Somewhere a product manager was thinking "Mullet bike is so 2020. we're going full Mutt." You'll know I'm right when they add SRAM front brake and Shimano rear for 2023...

24 Kids' Bikes from the Descend Youth Mini Downhill

@nickmalysh: That was my approach too. I know that my kids are over-bikes, but we have a great time riding as a family. I didn't want any obstacles in the way of this becoming something that we all enjoyed together. Crummy/heavy/draggy vs. nice/light/smooth gear was firmly in my control and I was fortunate enough to have the disposable income.

Press Release: Fovno-Tech's New Bike Rack Uses Electric Suction Cups

I feel like this is a liability issue... not because it won't hold with suction, but rather how many car roofs were designed with this in mind? I can only imagine that multiple bikes suctioned to an open body panel while traveling at highway speeds creates a lot of force...

Is it just me or are there far more downvotes showing up recently on non-controversial comments?
