Review: Madrone Jab vs. Ratio Mech - Top Two Mechanical Derailleurs Compared
@kdc22: so I guess not a long wait to get a Chidrone derailleur via Aliexpress?

And even after cutting it to size multiple times, it was still too short. Necessity makes invention

Reece Wallace Breaks Neck & Hand While Filming in Alaska
@kmg0: @kmg0: LOL, Trans Madeira? That guy that also broke his handlebar during the race and didn't get a scratch, that guy? Legend couple, both so nice, both racing. I think she dropped out due to a crash, but nothing serious luckily.

Combining Parts From Vivo, SRAM, & Shimano to Create the Ultimate Mechanical Drivetrain
@E30: yes definitely lighter than 12-speed. I accept 12-speed, it just works better for me and I need the range and don't want to compromise my full-suspension kinematics with a smaller-than-designed-for chainring.

Combining Parts From Vivo, SRAM, & Shimano to Create the Ultimate Mechanical Drivetrain
@lepigpen: Yes I am in the same camp here. I run the opposite, XTR/XT shifter/derailleur on srams cassette (it's lighter than shimano, and the XD interface is just nice to work with). Still surprised how smooth and how little forde is needed for a good cabled XTR setup! Not sure buttons are less force here.
One weird thing I noticed is, that the smaller shift paddle (the one behind) on the XTR is smaller/shorter than the one an SLX shifter? I can reach the latter much easer on a different bike.

Review: Pivot Shuttle LT - Adjustable Everything
I find it brilliantly beautiful. The obsession with gendered colors is beyond me.

Simons.Lab Introduces Aftermarket Fork Damper With Externally Adjustable Compression & Rebound Tunes
@Rabbuit: Generally speaking, I already had the Smashpot in a 36. The smashpot's HBO is fucking amazing, and sensitivity is unrivalled, obviously. Bike got stolen, though.

@Dougal-SC: Isn't that what the Secus solves too? It seems a very clever design, where the negative air spring gets smaller through the travel while simultaneously giving that space to the trapped air in the casting.
All that faff, and I still wonder whether I should just put a coil in it.

Factory Cycles Tahr: 3D-Printed Lugs, Swappable Drivetrains, & Modular Geo
@froidgoupil: I see an opportunity for an electrical shifting "hub". The resulting Rube Goldberg Shifting would be quite something to watch from the outside
