Ok, have fun

Miiiiight wanna look up the manufacturer’s max pressure guidance for your rims.

Care to share any background on this and/or did it cause any challenges (for example passing any load testing or similar)?

lol. Fair. I guess what I meant was that it would be a bodge job in the eyes of Shimano, who would almost certainly deny warranty to any customer who did that to their cranks.

There's the Priority team running them this season and Hattie Harnden already won a womens EWS round on a Nicolai gearbox bike last season.

I'd like to think within 5-10 years, most emtbs, AND trail, enduro and DH bikes will have gearboxes and no derailleur. Once it's a bit lighter and more efficient (arguably it's already close enough), it's the clear next step in innovation as geo has mostly settled lower longer and slacker enough (lol). It's only a matter of time

Blah blah blah heard this so many times, I pedal up to enjoy my ride down. Everyone's all about their idlers, heavy a$$ forks and tires etc that make so much more of a difference in the effort on the way up, while offering much less on the way back down than a gear box. Trying to focus on the innovation here. Everyone heard that it's impossible to pedal a bike with a gearbox (mostly from those who read it on the internet or tried it once...). Derailleurs are stupid and if it takes a moped to get rid of...

I am going to be completely transparent here in that I work for FSA, but I will say I worked really hard on making the 31.8 40mm Gradient alloy bar one of the most compliant on the market. and here is the proof: (chart from PB article)

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

standing while climbing? motor goes brrrrrrrt

"anti-squat and electronic suspension rumors and innovation"

Every post you make is about XXL bikes and/or wanting 525 reach. it's exhausting. You're 6'4". Relax.

I have fox vest that I more or less use as a high vis vest since there’s hunters many places I ride. The pull tab on the tiny zipper broke but it still works just fine.

To each their own. I don’t own either (and won’t anytime in the near future), but I would take a Surron before an e-bike everyday of the week if it was for personal use. (I would only ride the Surron on trails designated for motorized use or private property where I had explicit permissions)

people geek out over their e-motos just like we do about mountain bikes.
