Yeah and I got some bb7s I’d sell ya.
Dammit, I so wanted to be first to get these things in action.
No chance though.
i mean at least it was bike pubes who beat you
Didn’t pubes use his internet clout to swing a pair from another source? If so then still open to be the 1st with a tarck groupbuy pair.
Arrived today, thanks @dotMR and @EndpointBraden. They might even be uglier in person.
Much uglier in person. Chonky
somehow bulbous and smooth but sharp and rough
the sintered feel of a 3d printed tchotchke
they’re fun and upsetting
I’m so proud of us
Tarck is really getting good at this.
Ok list time
Weed speakers
Uggolevers
What other dumb GBs have we GBd
Mavic zapzap
Tachyons weren’t a GB but they would have been if the right supply had been found.
Finally opened the box.
These are ludicrous.
Sooo many crazy design details.
I was surprised at the texture of the lever body, and also that the cool gear mechanism is exposed rather than concealed behind a rubber dust cover
The Ice Bastard is getting vestigial flippers.
They will spend a lot of time hidden inside pogies. You’re welcome.
lmao jesus christ those are ridiculous looking
Mitten friendly!
they’re big enough to get their own sub-pogies
I can’t stop playing with it and finding new wonderful engineering details.
How much money went down the drain on these things???
really an absurd amount of joy from a bike part that hasn’t even made it on a bike yet
They seem like the magnum opus of some quirky genius unsupervised at SRAM who was then was dismissed by the number crunchers and now lives as a recluse. Ripe for documentary-ting.
