one man band having ass bar setup
I see some WTB influences there.
that’s a whole lot of beautiful custom engineering to avoid using a shake or robo buttons
where did you even find that? what goes through the tortured brain of someone who makes that? i can’t think of a single time i have said to myself “these common shakes on these common bars that are the ones that humans typically put on bicycles like this are WRONG AND BAD and i must FIX THEM”
My friend, can I introduce you to the wretched hive of scum and villainy known as r/xbiking?
Never shift like common people
Never do what common people do
Never ride like common people
Never watch your life slide out of view
Apologies to Pulp
There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time! I don’t even know why I’m aware of him any more.
I do sort of admire it for it’s “inverse” TT bike control scheme
I really like the William Shatner version of that one
I don’t know for sure, but that pic is from 2017 and that’s an XX1 shifter. Did SRAM make 1x specific x-horizon derpbar shakes at that time?
Dude just likes to make stuff and mess around with bikes.
This is a Q/R basket attachment with some hooks that go under the rear edge of the rack + this toggle clamp up front to lock it down.
Similar mechanism built into his custom-made waterproof rear rack bag. (he said he wasn’t entirely happy with using this in real life -this was 2017)
Pièce de résistance, for our sandy soil:
From the “folks want options” department:
A coupled tandem that turns into a single, rohloff rear, takes rim or disc brakes, and a fork that’s harder to disassemble and can’t be turned 180d. and all the adventure zits
What do they do with the vestigial coupler off the BB in single mode?
by the time you’ve recabled it you’ve probably lost any enthusiasm to screw something silly into the vestigial coupler.
Vestigial means a body part or trait in a living thing that has lost its original job over long periods of time through evolution.
cabling a tandem with a Rohloff is a long period of time
Cooling intake for BB.
Also, no spoon brake compatibility? Bah.
the real question is if you can use the middle piece as a bong
It’s the one Shatner cover that isn’t just a novelty. Joe Jackson does the singing parts!
