New & Interesting Bike Campenaerts

It’s a dollar difference? Weird thing to be mad about, but you did say it was unreasonable.

The bags should just come with those though.

Joke’s on Swift. I’ll just use the shock cord I took out of their bags because shock cord makes a terrible drawcord atmo.

KMC now has some cassettes made of hi-ten steel. Probably good for a mid-drive hard on drive train components. The 11s 42T jawn is 800 g, though.

they are getting sooooo close to mountain bikes. Drop another 2 chainring teeth and add it to the cassette.

Supposedly they’re 104 BCD so they’re already there (chainrings are a flat circle)

They are working so hard to not make a mtb group. Just do it already!

Is there a legit company version of this?

pref with a digital gauge?

At this point in the collapse of capitalism, compared to all the other fly-by-night XBORK’D companies, Rock Bros seems like a paragon of legitimacy.

I’ve heard that these are pretty underwhelming, especially with high volume tires.

Rockbros seems pretty legitimate tbh, but honestly I am not sure i would trust something with a battery that small.

i think fumpa is the one they knock’d off but the only one with a gauge is hilariously chunky

the full-size Fumpa is a chunky boi, it helps if you get the hose extension thing

I’ve got a Ryobi one of those, just curious about a smaller one to throw in a bag. And whether the Rockbros was a knockoff of something I wasn’t aware of.

I would guess a real company couldn’t back up the tiny motor/battery working for years, but it’s fine if you consider it relatively disposable.

the ryobi inflator is by far the worst ryobi tool.

  1. i’ve had two and neither gauge are even remotely accurate
  2. the chuck is pretty poorly made and eats stuff
  3. there’s no lock on the trigger so if you leave it with the battery on and it bumps something it’ll just brraaap itself out of battery

Wait if you’re taking it somewhere you don’t take the battery off? Seems like a no brainer. Battery hand tools tossed loosely around almost always bump the trigger. So they only get to keep the battery in a tool box or on a bench.

i can barely move it around on the bench or in a drawer without triggering it. it’s just a lot more annoying than a drill that has the switch
