quick question, because i'm always wondering when seeing pictures of pros in action:
are they really running their levers so close to the handlebar with minimal throw that it looks like their on the brakes?
pretty sure richie isn't braking on that part of the track.
I used to run my levers almost all the way out, no idea why. Now they’re much closer to the bar with a quick bite. The less you have to squeeze the better, in terms of fatigue/arm pump/finger pump etc. Kinda like cheater reps on a leg press, it’s much easier on the muscles to squeeze 2mm than 2 inches. On an after work trail ride? Not much difference. Pinned at 170bpm 6 times a day? Adds up.
Richie in particular has stated in the past that he likes a very touchy brake lever.

thx for the reply!
yeah, i get that regarding armpump, im running my levers 12 clicks in from the farthest position but not even close to what i can see on that pic of richie, i think i might be on full brakes then. how is he able to modulate? maybe it's a different story because he's a physical monster and fast AF.

There's a "jump" at Ride Kanuga that Richie did. If you see how fast you have to come into what was a non-existent berm...you'd understand he either has his brakes full on...or not at all. Got places to be...no need to modulate. heh
nice, that looks clean. only saw it on some commuter. u also got the embargo lift on the 19th?
Sure did. Though I’m not on board with short travel e-bikes personally. If it has a motor it might as well have 160mm plus imo. I was actually hoping for a new sight. But at least there’s no cable tourism
Makes a lot of sense. I noticed that quite a few pro-XC riders are running the original AXS shifters and OG rocker paddle with Transmission rather than the new pod. Me, I switched out to the optional rocker pretty quickly and am curious to see how the new pods feel in comparison.
Looks like a new leightweight full-carbon e-bike then. Maybe Fluid VLT. Very weird move coming from a brand that has made a name for themselves caring about descending perfromance and handling first. I'm also not too excited about the fact that it's an e-bike to be honest, especially not about the stupid "eMbRaCe ThE eVoLuTiOn" marketing. No, mate. Hard pass on e-bikes.
That's interesting!

I hated the Transmission pod and switched back to the original after a couple of rides, here's hoping the new rocker works better for me.
Didn't this happen w/ the AXS Eagle pod too? They released a revision very quickly after the launch?
I dont understand what they are trying to achive, mechanical shifting ergonomics are pretty dialled, even Etap ergonomics closelly mimic doubletap... While mtbiking there is even more need for a tactile feeling, operating a pair of levers, even if it is a short trow/soft click MUST be at least one of the offerings. They just need to "replicate" their mechanical shifting logic really.

Last gen rocker was not half bad IMHO
Or literally just make 2 small buttons on the bar to the left of the grip. Like the Zirbel offering

Rather than whinging, be the change you’d like to see in the world. Nothing stopping you from designing, prototyping, building, testing, patenting, advertising, and selling your own. I look forward to the opportunity of trying it…

They should stuff one of the haptic feedback motor things that Apple uses on Trackpads into the shift buttons… those things are crazy convincing!
Although I’d personally prefer a mechanical shifter and derailleur any day of the week.
Id quite like a shifter that i can shift with my Index finger only. we can already do it one way but why not both?
id happily pay big money that that - i hate having to move my thumb and put unnatural pressure on my thumb joint.

F*ck me this thread gets derailed so easily. Who cares about the difference in electronic shifter paddles. Who knows when we’re getting a 200mm AXS reverb?

On a norco too

“Really in simplest terms, it is a six bar DW6 bike, but one of the pivots is a flex stay.”
Great podcast on PB about the new Pivot DH proto bike.
https://m.pinkbike.com/news/the-pinkbike-podcast-a-deep-dive-on-pivots-…
What is the difference between a DW6 with the Pivot on the chainstay or seat-stay??
I don't have linkage software to model it
Sure did. Though I’m not on board with short travel e-bikes personally. If it has a motor it might as well have 160mm plus imo. I was actually hoping for a new sight. But at least there’s no cable tourism
If the link is on the chainstay, it's a 6 bar. If it's on the seatstay, it's a linkage driven 4 bar (ala Polygon).
Just been watching Dailed and noticed Rachel is back on the Trickstuff brakes this weekend
She probably ordered them 18 months ago and they just got delivered
leogang bike abuse slowmo
She was on her e-bike, probably with last year parts
New AXS rocker on Nino's bike?
That's interesting!

I just got the e-Mail from Norco too.

But cool to see them switch to Continental tires.
I hated the Transmission pod and switched back to the original after a couple of rides, here's hoping the new rocker works better for me.

haha, id like an electric version thats just a small rocker - ive never been a fan of modern shifter design.
Wonder if i could 3d print a mount to reverse the AXS one with a custom rocker...
Time to get to work haha

Then develop, and build it!
it’s a great idea, go after it
Nothing but roadblocks from you eh….
