Timarchylime · May 22, 2019, 12:36pm

Knowing Sean, this is exactly what he’s saying. Even if he didn’t intend it.

anon71759125 · May 22, 2019, 1:17pm

amy · May 22, 2019, 7:41pm

no it isn’t.

I don’t get the 27.2 post. There’s at least one person who wants to put a dropper on that.

anon71759125 · May 23, 2019, 11:12am

There are some 27.2 options out there…some

karl_dandleton · May 23, 2019, 11:39am

it’s 2019 already

Dickason_Daniel · May 23, 2019, 11:40am

With the 27.2 post, they’re basically screaming THIS IS AN XC BIKE, FOR XC RACING, and still some people can’t hear it.

Crustradamus · May 23, 2019, 12:55pm

eh 27.2 straight post isn’t difficult to find

amy · May 23, 2019, 2:06pm

Yeah, they wanted low weight and a bendy post for the tiniest bit of flex for comfort. If you ain’t racing, get a Chameleon. Oh wait, belopsky already has one of those…

I’m not sure if this is visible with my phone camera, or not. I undertorqued one of the pinch bolts and had the crank arm slip while on a test ride. When I finally managed to remove it (my cranks had gone 90deg), there were filings all inside the splines.

This is the second one I’ve wrecked this year. My road one died from water ingress. RIP in pieces, little power friends.

Rest In Power

Andrew_Andeson · May 25, 2019, 5:54am

I know that feel

Wrecked some sugino oxes last year

Master_Stabby · May 25, 2019, 6:24am

Yep, that’s borked.

At least they can probably fix your road one: once the splines are toast it’s toast.

Straws · June 9, 2019, 2:32am

My cambium died

Orc · June 9, 2019, 2:53am

And that’s one of the weatherproof ones, isn’t it?

Andrew_Andeson · June 9, 2019, 8:23pm

Yep that’s what they do im afraid. The cambium just isn’t a very good product imo.

todd_bonzalez · June 9, 2019, 9:26pm

Mine has been showing those signs for a year now, but it hasn’t progressed

Orc · June 9, 2019, 9:57pm

I’m kind of surprised that there isn’t anyone doing replacement tops for those things, given that Brooks can’t be bothered to even warranty the things.
