It seems to be a test bed mostly as the interiors aren't fancy and they're going to be testing the Projector system, the new magnets that don't require Helium cooling and the new sharkskin unpainted skin thats supposed to give 1% more performance.
Since I know there very little knowledge about it here some resources they're all in Japanese but translation tools these days are fantastic.
Friendly reminder that there are multiple studies that show that the biggest factor in cycling performance is not the bicycle itself but rather the physical fitness of the cyclist. All having expensive gear ultimately does is effect your ride quality, but will only make marginal gains regarding ride performance and efficiency. If you're struggling on hill climbs, the issue isn't your bike, the issue is you. Take personal accountability, get in shape, and don't fall for consooomerism
Anyone else feels like absolute shit after crashing? it's not even the pain of it it's just the faith in your ability slowly dying inside. When I was younger it was whatever but now it feels like someone chipped away a chunk of confidence.
thinkin of buying a sick old mbs mountainboard with a brake on to make a long distance all terrain electric skateboard im gonna use a top mounted battery 2 moters (maybe 4wd in the future) and belt drives, big 120mm urethane wheels for all road efficiency, no blutooth remote just a cable and throttle on the brake line for simplicity but i have no idea about actual electric skateboard stuff like motors batteries and escs tho, how do i minmax the electronics for maximum range over fairly hilly ground that averages out to be flat maintaining like 10 to 15 mph and a compact charger for it i can take with me any recs for parts? i got money to put into this project for high quality electronics
Urbanist jannies apparently don't know what "PF" or "BB" stands for, so let me spell it out complete with AI sloppa to conform to nu-/n/ standards
This thread is for discussing a bicycle part called a "bottom bracket", in particular why there was nothing wrong with press fit bicycle bottom brackets, and moreover how it is inappropriate to put a tiny cigarette-butt sized bicycle bottom bracket that was designed for skinny steel bicycle frames, into the bicycle bottom bracket shell of a carbon fiber bicycle frame
Bicycle bicycle bicycle, AI sloppa, happy now? Is that better? YIMBY YIMBY parking minimums, suburbs bad, amsterdam good, there now it's on topic.
>be a noob cyclist >hear a creaking noise >could be from anything, pedals, saddle, shoes, whatever >don't bother fixing it, just conclude based on youtube clickbait that it has to be the "bottom bracket" because in your baby cyclist brain that sounds really mechanical and technical >repeat it on reddit and get other retards to follow suit >entire industry abandons a perfectly good standard and is trying to reintroduce antiquated, small-diameter threaded BBs made for steel bikes on modern carbon bikes where it makes no sense Is the anti-PF cargo cult the greatest psyop in modern cycling history?
