The "can claw". Just what I want. A completely shaken up can of warm beer after a long summer ride.

[@LOLLO2WIN]

its prolly made for road biking, you wouldnt shake it up too much there i believe

Could be a nice fun challenge, hook up a beer to the bike and look who could explode it on a trail.

I'm on my second Fanttik, a warranty replacement. (Also, I had a $30 discount at the time -- no way I'd roll the dice at $70) The asthetics are good, but the internals are less than reliable. The battery will spontaneously "lose charge" in the middle of a fill until you power cycle it. That's why the first one was warranteed. The second did the same thing out of the box. And the battery life, even when working, isn't as great as it should be. Definitely checking out those knee pads, though.

[@brandonrich6342]

I just became a member of the clavicle club this past Friday!!! Now mine was a little unusual, but still happened on my bike. I use my bike to commute to work everyday. An ironic part of the story is I work at the James A Haley VA Hospital. On my way home from work Friday, I was side swiped by an SUV. I was taken right back to the hospital I work at lol 😂😂. I'm a veteran and treated there as well. Anyway the Dr says my clavicle was crushed, 2 ribs have hairline fractures, most of my ribs are bruised. That plus my entire right side is banged up. It was a hit and run so that's fun. Long story short, my protective equipment and gear saved my life!!!! If you are out riding please put it on.

As a hobbyist 3d-printer, I can say that can holder is well-designed and printed pretty damn decently. It was clearly printed in the optimal orientation for the stresses the part would handle (this matters a great deal for strength of 3d-printed objects). He probably used PA-CF, (carbon-fiber infused nylon) which means it should theoretically get a bit stronger over time, as the nylon absorbs ambient moisture.

Thank you! The mechanism was originally designed by Tim at Team Dosenbier, and I pay him a small fee for every one I sell.

The MT200s are pretty darn good brakes too. There are a couple bikes from Specialized that come with SRAM Level (pretty similar spec level) and they are an absolute pain to deal with. And you have to use DOT fluid.

[@LoneWanderer905]

The one downfall of the MT200s is that their lever is steel and corrodes over time if you don't take good care of them. MT201's fix that issue.

[@LoneWanderer905]

Also, they work much better and last longer with Shimano's newer resin pads (BS05S or something like that iirc) - I love mine.

[@Durwood71]

Being only two pistons, they're a little light on the stopping power, but they're solid and reliable.

[@Saftkeur]

I've been told you can just swap out the levers, which is on my list for future upgrades on mine. Bike shop guy near me has MT200s on his (much more expensive than mine) personal bike, but with higher trim levers because he prefers the feel and the adjustability. My only complaint with the MT200s I got is that adjustability, I liked having my mechanical brakes dialed in so you only need a short squeeze to start making contact, while the hydraulic ones can't preload like that, though it tends to not matter that much when you can lock it up with one finger anyway.

I like to support family businesses too. But those big buckles on the side might be a problem. If you slide out or fall to the side that buckle is digging right into your knee. If you think about it, it's why you see velcro on elbow/knee pads vs. plastic fasteners. Others have thoughts?

100% agree with your review of avision pads. They are bulky and finicky to use if you use them for more than one discipline because of having to re-adjust for over or under pants. But they are SUPER protective and stay put no matter what. After 3 knee surgeries, I find myself caring less about them being difficult to put on, but I still complain about it 😂😂 Overall I’m grateful to have them.

I own the Fanttik, got it for under $50 on an AMZN sale. If you combine it with a Prestacycle EZ Grip Big Presta Head it becomes a dream to have. Set your pressure plop that head onto the valve and let it rip while you get the rest of your gear ready. The battery is good for inflating two maybe three 2.3 mtb tires from 0 PSI. I got it following a recommendation from Syd and Macky.

that bear claw is pricey.. guys could work in apple price dept ;) from my "3d printing" exp I assume production cost is about 1.5$ - 2.5$ in production (filament cost + electricity) And there are some similar free designs over the web

[@brianpark4]

It's not expensive it just costs a lot. ;) I print them out of a carbon-nylon material that doesn’t degrade with outdoor exposure or high heat, and I use super low layer-heights so they don’t look like sad Etsy science projects. They’re a couple bucks more expensive than other similar products out there because a) my materials cost more, b) lower layer heights = 2x the time per print, c) I cover some of the shipping out of the price, and d) unlike some of the lookalikes out there, I pay Tim the original designer of the mechanism for each Canclaw I make and sell. All that said, if you've got access to a printer I 100% recommend downloading a free version and experimenting. I'd for sure download a bike.

It's pretty odd, though, in my opinion that in States the "presta" seems to be The Number One go-to as a bike valve in mountain biking scene, but at least in Northern EU people tend to prefer the "car valves" instead. Maybe it's because all our gas stations have free air for when your tires are running empty? So we can just roll into an gas station to inflate the tyres. If you have presta you'll need an accessory to be able to use them. This makes me thing that "automotive company" is actually trying to aim towards abroad sale.
