Such a discombobulated talk

Thank you!

This presentation is a rant about how old tech ain't good. There is some history sprinkled in. Very opinion based and less a presentation facts.

Amazing amount of info. Thank you for putting it out there

I named the "mountain bike" in 1978 in Santa Barbara. Greg LeMond and others are my witnesses.

Thank you, very interesting to listen.

Thank you for video, very interesting to listen. Thanks!

🦆🦆🦆 quack!

What does your age have to do with it, more likely that your lack of fitness is the obstruction to be addressed.

This would be so much better without the mask. Just saying, this dude has a great smile.

Why the mask? You're alone 😔. Is this a comedy skit?

Thanks. 9:10 - if you run on carbs then you probably do need breakfast but those of us eating in a ketogenic or carnivore way don't necessarily eat breakfast - many of us eat just one meal a day as we run on fat. I've recently toured with just a steak in the evening and eggs and bacon for breakfast. There are alternatives beyond what we have been taught to believe. Cheers

this has been very validating to the type of biking i really try to do but find myself not able to b/c I feel intimidated by big mountain bike. Had someone laugh at me riding my surly straggler atb flat bar build in the woods once w/ his $4k mtb telling me my 42 tires were too skinny for the downhill coming up. It was such an easy downhill once I got to it, but he basically ruined my ride making me think I had gotten myself too deep into a "technical area." GOLLY! Thanks for this.

I like his approach but I don’t want to be rummaging. Around for 30 year old parts that are worn to an unknown degree and often overpriced

Really enjoyed this. It’s quite tongue in cheek, it’s all about cool bikes and the aesthetic - sometimes form over function not taking it too seriously as exam affied by the fact that he laughs a lot and keeps it light spirited. Yes he could’ve been a little more organised but so what, a man after my own heart!

Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla 😔

man this guy is insufferable.

This guy is not the most efficient speaker. A bit of an arrogant blowhard too. Stories a bit pointless as-well. Design to the riders weakness,sound deep but is just dumb; the reason the rider is good at what they are good at is because thats what they like. I have a hard time believing his info on the Specialized example without some engineer from Specialized explaining. I’m not saying Specialized are not lying pieces of shit but I don’t think this guy is smarter than their engineers. So he bought the wrong size bike for his wife and had to correct the fit? Why did you not just have your wife go for a ride on the bike; Specialized has demos you can take for the whole day. Mountain bike fit is really just preference at this point..

Hipster biking 101. Maybe they can offer a course at Berkeley this fall.

I've been baptized by the high priest of crust.

This all sounds great until I remember that I ride a full suspension bike because I have a back injury.

Tells an unfunny joke. Tells everyone it was a funny joke. Tells everyone that they should laugh. Rinse & repeat! How embarrassing.

Short cranks are the way!

This was awesome

This was cool. Loved the BMX connection. That was my gateway.

Cool bike everyone I've been living off grid and urban city living for 10 years now and I have not yet had a bike that you don't have to pedal or even have an option. I've built my own trailers put together my own bikes and it's been a lot of fun it's something I love to do my only problem is I'm getting tired a little more but still I'm doing it, ya know... I think your bike is very cool and looks tough but how does it match up to 12 months everyday use pulling a trailer that weighs average weight of any bike trailer so 30 pounds to 60 pounds and then load it with whatever material you may come across that is useful for outdoor living...I pull loads up to 300 pounds and that's with legs pedaling but sometimes walking the bike, still the bike is being used so ya anyways throw that at you guys run the bike all year around I'm sure it will do it np..... nice job to your team. TesTTechi out

Love the idea of a silent hub. Many of my simple single free screw on sprockets for MTB single speed were super quiet... Just a great way to ride. Well done Onyx. I hear they are popular for BMX over here in the UK too. How do you rate them for MTB use?

I went cross country with a tarp and sleeping bag. 45 days and nights.

I cook with fire in the PNW but it’s small. Too many white people don’t know there’s such a thing as a small fire, but they pack in gas stoves that have more potential to start an unmanageable fire that’s supposed to keep a fire manageable. The other thing people forget is we can live forever on processed food like bread cheese peanut butter and oats that don’t need heat. Just spend 5 days without cooked food at home a few times a year. Doing it in the woods isn’t hard. I do like hot coffee, but room temperature instant will get you the experience and you can just move on and enjoy the space.

Really enjoyed this Daniel, have shared widely with my network. Keep up the good work!

It’s unfortunate this is the talk i wanted to learn the most from, and it a bummer I learned nothing

Go canti bro. Flexible and if tuned right awesome

100% agree with flat mount standards, and I’m believer standards stifle innovation.

Big fan of size/stiffness idea

You’re not talking about casting main tubes right? At this point of the presentation I’m a bit concerned

Heat treating cast 4130 blew your mind? Seriously please hit me up. I can expose you to processes and technology’s that will explode your mind

Thx4sharing fam...#RideOn

Such great analysis, great stories, super entertaining and educational! I'd kill to get the slide deck from this...

cornerstone foundational deep dive BRAVO

Angle grinder……………..

When looking at the geometry of a full suspension frame, doesn't it all change once you weight it with a rider? Presuming the answer is "yes," are the geometries presented accounting for this (like, they assume the average rider of an S4 frame is 180 lbs)? In my mind, I picture a weighted rider on that Specialized frame lowering the BB, slackening both the HA and the STA, and lowering the COM of everything.

You’re all going to hate me but I’ve ridden the same SRAM Force group for nearly a decade, hundreds of miles a year on that bike, many of them offroad. No issues.

So .. I am not alone :-) 🙂

My first mountain bike was a 1991 Bridgestone MB-3 that I bought used at a yard sale for peanuts in 1996 (parents selling sons bike he never rode) and that lasted me until 2023. It orig had those green Michelin WildGrippers mounted that I replaced with the same until they disappeared. Just finally upgraded to a rigid fork Karate Monkey. I resisted all urges to upgrade and “get with the program” and I heard that 1000 times over the years and just kept replacing parts forever. The KM came up as yet another almost brand new and sick deal and here we are (and still missing the cantis 😅). But yeah, I love the explore culture of cycling, plus, not “keeping up with the bike Jones”always (and still does) bring the benefit of QUALITY top notch used parts that are considered out of date. Anyways, I really dug this talk/vid and the “do your own thing and enjoy” discipline that I am feeling here, and I am always a sucker for talking about New England cycling. Lastly, RIP to Sheldon, I was lucky to have met him at the shop before I knew who he “was”, (and he ordered me my replacement WildGrippers) ✌️
