Wow. This thread is a GEM! Also, I'm not buying the oopsie daisy I didn't know it was a 4.5k ebike with a "faulty" (ahem missing) battery. Hell. The components alone are worth than x20 that. The bike legally goes back to the original owner. And the deelers and the steelers must mar go sit in court and face the music.

Bring back the advert comments.

Myself and one of my riding buddies have been on Lyne AMP rims for a while now. Me, almost a year. Him about 3 years. They are very strong and if they fail it's almost certainly rider fault, but you can count on Dale to sort you out relatively quick. I'm really heavy and my mate's just heavy. We ride really stupid and tend to be hard on wheels. These have the quad thumbs up from us. Just put in a rear insert before an Enduro at conties.

Oh. 13.5UK. Left that out.

37 Permalescent male. 190cm 18-19cm 125-127kg XL mtb. 58cm gravel. Anyting catchy really.

That sounds about right

It's frriyyyaaayyyyy!

Ive heard of demo helmets making rounds. Think leatt did that back in the day. Otherwise just ask a buddy if you can wear his/her helmet around the block. Unless you are seriously coodiephobic. (would be ironic since we cyclists tend to use water points and porta loos at races.)

Of course. But I expected the inner surface interface that they market as "ball and socket" to at least be spherical. It ain't.

That it is. But it certainly ain't spherical.

So. On the MIPS thing again. Did some research. The solution to the cam-like rotation lockout would have been a semisphere inside the outer shell that can rotate freely. I was surprised to find MIPS SPHERICAL. Looks like everyone were thinking the same thing.... Exept that the deemed spherical helmets don't have an inner spherical profile. More half egg shape. This would still cause an eventual lockout/jamming point and ramp up in rotational acceleration. Ugh. Correct name. Wrong shape. Should be called MIPS OVOID.

3hrs! Nah. At least 9hrs.

Maybe sticking to 20" for weight saving as long as possible isn't a bad idea

@Jewbacca... How willing are you to make a primary school xco bike for monetary exchange... Sounds like you have this down to a T
