Lol impulse bought this without considering how the cable will be routed!

my partner bought one of these last year, then had to spend another $150 to get a little hole drilled and cable port welded in so the cable can come out nicely at the bottom of the seat tube. but he says it is worth it as it makes descending more pleasant (his use case is riding a fully rigid 90s mtb on some trails on occasion).

A lost opportunity to add an anodized quick release seatclamp.

I am continually perplexed by that design

Feels pretty special to cut down your dropper post

Ok i need a different lever. The one that came with the ENVE post works but its for drop bars and is uncomfortable

Dibs?

Wolftoot or OneUp, atmo.

On the ENVE dropper? Sure!

Big fan of the PNW lever here. I like the little rubber pad.

me too, esp after having a super sharp wolf tooth lever. i’ll take the little thumb cushion.

Dynamo or no on my SSCX bike that I ride around town and lock up?

I know based on the question alone a lot of people are gonna say to dynamo it. What are some good reasons not to?

Could get stolen
Someone will tell you that you left your light on
If u ever decide to race it will be weird

Costs more money

Wires are ugly

If it is your first dynamo, then you will want dynamo lights on all your bikes and it will cost you even more money

Dynamos are overrated

cost is highly offset by already having the lights + ability/tools to build a wheel. Mostly it’s also I wanna be lazy and not take lights off my bike when I get places.
