Our very first product at current company, assembled somewhere in Asia, shipped out with ethernet cables in bags labelled āASSMANNā. I lolled, others were a lot less happy about that.

weād like more information
i understand that he knows how to do the stuff but that stem gives me the willies. seems like it could be done in some way other than a butt joint
I think thatās the way they do it on BF and nobody has died yet
Also I bet there is something reinforcing that joint, it canāt just be 2 tubes butted up against each other
I will ask if I remember
Does this post belong in āI went for a ride today and here are some photosā? āDamnit: Post your bikeā? Eh letās dump it in the minivelo thread
Some manufacturing engineer budsā quarantine project was getting some extra-cheap minivelo frames made in china, and I decided that Iād build mine up with a combination of extremely-nice-but-unused parts in my bin, and the most disgusting oilslick-ano ultra-cheap aliexpress parts.
The inaugural ride was a 30 mile/3000ft ride to the coast and back for bagels at the farm stand.
everyone was surprised i trusted [gestures broadly] enough to aerotuck on the descent. Tiny wheels with inefficient BMX tires and dummy wide flat bars meant I was only able to get up to ~35mph on highway 84.
apologies to mr ron king cage, your cages are on 5 of my bikes, please call me when you make a disgusting oil slick cage.

XTR dual control!? STORN.
I love this whole thing. Whatās the plan for the unused left shifter?
Sadly I think neither are going to be on the bike long term. The seatpost is going away in favor of a cheap dropper, and I think I want Jones bars on here.
The left shifter is eventually going to actuate the future dropper lever. I know which pawl needs to be blocked off, but currently debating if I want to expend the effort to figure out how to do it in a reversible way, or just break out the dremel tool and remove the pawl entirely.

Dunno about those xtr shakes, but I was able to remove remove the pawl and spring on another Shimano shifter in a non-destructive manner.
