Did you just ShartQ?

also someone contact paul comp and tell them to start designing a duplex that is one half wet.

Where’s the regenerative braking on the e-bike motor?

[anon3547885]

@karl_dandleton

makes sense. i’ve seen people on reddit say that their bike has done it, but… you know. reddit.

If they used reasonable tire pressures they wouldn’t have to worry

Also speaking of tire pressures I read the other day that Hunt’s new tubeless hookless wheelset has a max pressure of 72.5 PSI and tires blow off the rim at 80 PSI. Somebody is going to die

@BicyclePears

no coaster because fixed gear. what am i forgetting?

Add a tandem drag brake to the rear, you can mount it on that fixed/free hub you already have

[BicyclePears]

God damn is that how a drag brake works? It threads on?

@BicyclePears

God damn is that how a drag brake works? It threads on?

indeed, on the same thread pitch but on the NDS so braking still tightens

that approach is also the only way you’d practically get a drum and disc onto the same wheel — using a disc rear freewheel hub on the front, with the disc on the DS

no need

use Shimano ST-M775 Dual Control levers with the shifter pawl removed

pushing down on the lever pulls cable and pulling in pushes mineral oil, as a two-dimensional braking joystick

they’d be compatible with your Magura Rim brake too

@JUGE_FREDD

two-dimensional braking joystick

Holy shit mind blown

[JUGE_FREDD]

can also probably use a collection of different dropper post actuators as brake levers

Starting to wonder if we wouldn’t be better off dithering a dynamo powered La Cucaracha horn

[jeffro]

Does anyone have experience with rear disc setups for BMX, with slotted dropouts? Like, are there post mounts on the frame, or do they use those sort of floating brackets with the torque arm up to the canti boss?

[karl_dandleton]

id be willing to wager that everything from surly level (posts on frame, hard to ever get perfect) to proper, slides with axle mounts exist

[jimmythefly]

@BicyclePears

k lets steer this convo back to where it belongs.

no coaster because fixed gear. what am i forgetting? rod brake for rear tire with the lever mounted reddit-style on the seatpost?

Dropper post with an old tennis shoe zip-tied to the bottom.

[yonderboy]

The ones I’ve seen have a bracket attached to the dropouts.

@JUGE_FREDD

yep just gotta get a supercomputer for your handlebars that listens to atomic clocks broadcasting low power time signals from the void of space, picking them out from below the noise floor to triangulate you using general relativity

Like you do…

[cousinmosquito]

My Cateye Strada Slim Wireless never had any issues with my SP dynamo.

[EndpointBraden]

Can’t speak for any non-ant/blue tooth but all the Stages and Bryton units I have used on a bike with a dynamo and power meter/hrm have been unaffected.

@Dr_Shart_Attack_PhD

Starting to wonder if we wouldn’t be better off dithering a dynamo powered La Cucaracha horn

the taiwanese aluminum Sturmey Archer drum brake hubs would be a great host for artisanal cable-actuated PTO accessories by replacing the brake shoes with a new apparatus (and can still have a dynamo on the drive side)

one of my jdgesus product ideas on the original oregon outback was to build a coffee/weed grinder into one of those hubs

but a noisemaker with bells or klaxons would probably be more practical
