Rumor Roundup: Things That May or May Not Be Happening In the Bike Industry
Agreed, big battle to get manufacturers to build Shimano back into their bikes after they all left. If they cared they would already have released 3 new motors...

Yeah, no formal acknowledgement that the DJi osmo 6 shits itself and drops frames like crazy when run high res/stabilization.
No firmware update, no chat about it online.
Major issue for me, I even warranty returned my first one, but my replacement still does it. Annoyingly it takes heavy MTB to push it over the edge, can't be reproduced walking round your house.

Rumor Roundup: Things That May or May Not Be Happening In the Bike Industry
So Shimano and SRAM are going to have a hard time convincing bike companies to redesign to accommodate their new motors, unless they are miraculously good.
People are ditching Bosch and I have to say with the performance upgrade 2 it's really bloody amazing, yet still nobody wants it based on the sale prices...
So is there anything that these brands can actually do to get bike companies and customers back, what killer features are left, other than gearbox?

I have a DJI osmo 6 and it's nearly better than GoPro in every respect _except_ the stabilisation shits itself at high res and drops frames.
Still at least it doesn't corrupt whole video files and overheat...

Trek Voluntarily Imposes E-Bike Speed Limits
@lkubica: Would be sick to be fair. I'll have 10 in the car and click them on/off like Makita batteries.

@jpb1227: Auto industry is corrupt... they have been selling speed for years, then if the end user decides to use said speed it is _their_ fault.

Kali’s New Kru Full Face Helmet Has a Titanium Chin Bar, & It Looks... Different
While people are busy spinning up elaborate disaster fantasies where this is somehow worse than sitting inside a Zorb, can I remind them that their jugulars are still hanging out an inch below any helmet and that most of these critics ditched neck braces because they were uncomfortable.
It’s a compromise between practicality and safety and it fills a clear gap in the market.

CurRENT eMTB Expands Battery Rental Service to Queenstown, New Zealand
I love the concept, I really do, and I hope these guys do well, but $910 CAD for a two‑week trip and $331 CAD for three days…
You can rent an e‑bike for that price.
I know battery shipping and handling is crazy expensive, but I’d take my DH bike, and for any days outside the frankly awesome bike parks, I’d just rent. After you’ve done Queenstown / Coronet Peak / Cardrona, all of which have lifts, you might not even need to go looking for e‑MTB trails.

Video: Head-to-Head POVs from Asa Vermette & Reece Wilson at the Andorra DH World Cup
Yep, totally pointless comparing two riders on different points of the track. Needs to be synced by distance along...
