Spoilers!

Too much preload

Just seen that Rimpact have released something similar too. We'll all be riding them by 2025.

What's the point

I realise this could be the thread title

What's the point, when you've got 45litres of bike packing bags on there too?

Like I said, I'd be interested to ride one to see if I noticed it. I keep looking for second hand ones to try but not in a rush.

I'm starting to imagine a bike with all these extra bits that are supposed to fix the inherent issues of bikes; O-Chain, eThirteen freehub, Padmelon, etc. and it feels like you'd end up with the car Homer Simpson designs.

I've always been O-Chain curious, but from what I gather pedal kickback all but disappears once the wheel is rolling fast enough. I don't ride particularly fast but do ride very rough steep stuff with big compressions; I think maybe twice I've noticed what I assume is kickback.

I know. I suppose I just think being alive is more important than having stuff to lose or not lose. We all face category five hurricanes in different ways.

Arguably the cost of staying is higher. More arguably, that particular couple appears to be in a gated community and don't seem short of a few dollars if their garden furniture is heavy enough to cause damage if airborne.
They could, of course, be in a trailer park and have taken the folding chairs off the lawn.

Never understood this attitude to staying put in your home during extreme storms, but as long as you're prepped I guess...

However, Nugent admits he does feel "apprehensive" about the storm's arrival.
"We’ve taken all the outside furniture inside."

At first, I thought he was planning a wallride on the side of it, which would have been super gnarly. When I realised he was booting onto it, my stomach sank with worry

There's already been one airlift evac, I honestly don't think there won't be another

a friend's (owner of a very nice restaurant close-ish to the property on sale) mate is selling their castle.

I don't think any of that entire sentence needed subbing, tbh

Forum rules, can't be listed on here and somewhere else

I spent a disgusting amount of money

Having to work on a Friday - not good

There aren't enough t-shirts with Superglue Ratboard on them, you're right

Oh, so it's knees then

Creaking when? It's almost always a pivot that's the cause, so check all your shock and pivot bolts are done up properly, greased if they need greasing or loctited if they need that.

Used to go on holiday here with my mate and his family. Within an hour of arriving, me and him managed to kick a football at someone's caravan and broke off the water supply connector going into it.
Mate's Dad was a bit cross, took us to apologise to the owner, and opened the conversation with "Sorry to ruin your Sandyballs experience, but these lads have snapped your stopcock off"

He knew exactly what he was doing.

I don't get Italian bikes either

I pretty much only buy bikes based on looks, there has to be something about it for me to like it. Same as music; couldn't give a shit what type of music it is, but if it's not got something interesting about it, I'm not bothered.
I think that's why I've completely fallen out of love with road bikes recently, and now mostly only ride MTB. With MTB, there's something different or pushing the boundaries coming out all the time. Road bikes all look the same these days, the geometry is pretty much all identical, and the only difference seems to be what paint is on it.

In short, buy bikes with fun paint, or ones you can crash in forests.

That's like every scaffolding company, I swear they only get into it so they can put a pun about erections on their vans

In an ideal world, I'd like a new Supersix Evo, but if you've got anything in the 58cm semi-aero disc variety you're getting rid of then let me know. The jazzier the paintjob the better, I'm done with boring black bikes

It's run by the guy that developed all the Rockshox Blackbox stuff, so no doubt it works well. Jack Moir has been raving about it for a while now, and that lad isn't slow.
