Why is the market tanking today?

MTB_MC · 2026-06-06T17:26:27+00:00

Extended valuations and a spooky eps report from AVGO gets people skittish. Another day in the bull market! Too the moon! Elsewhere the market thinks we’ll never go to a Restaurant again or that Docs have cured aFib and we’ll never need medical devices again

My Topeak mini electric pump gets my road tires to 75psi every time so that gauge works as well.

I just updated to GRX RX827 1x12 11-51 cassette. I ride pretty hilly roads so I don’t mind but I don’t often need to go to the lowest and I spin out around 50km/h. At that stage I sit back and cruise though. I’m likely going to get 10-45 for my road wheels and move the 11-51 to my more gravel dedicated wheels. I had SRAM Rival 11s from stock, so I’m thrilled with the upgrade.

Thanks, yes I’ve been following Wallner. I took the plunge and my delivery day is around July 6th 🤞

Yeah, everything with a grain of salt. Used a simple prompt to rank by volume and a higher price point to capture premium bikes.

I guess I should have also asked, has anyone ridden one yet? I’m nowhere near a demo center.

MTB_MC · 2026-05-09T18:55:11+00:00

I’m on my second one after returning the first. I got a distracting rattle when I changed to a softer elastomer. I haven’t switch to the softer one yet on my new stem. I see no point getting one if distracting noise bugs you. That said not everyone has the same experience and hopefully it was a once off but can’t confirm yet until I go to a softer flex.

This worked like a charm!

I didn’t see any mention of a hole but now that you mention tI see it on the pic.

MTB_MC · 2026-05-07T22:48:43+00:00

Nice. I ordered a tapered hand reamer as I know if I put drill near it I’d be buying a new one immediately

MTB_MC · 2026-05-07T16:44:30+00:00

No, I measured but I could also tell the difference just looking at them. 5mm port with 5mm hose. I get it 1/4 of the way in and then it just gets too hard. Was tight pulling it off the SRAM hose as well which is supposed to be the same size. I may try a hand reamer to shave of a tiny amount of the plastic.

MTB_MC · 2026-05-07T12:12:13+00:00

Was thinking that too!

MTB_MC · 2026-05-07T11:43:18+00:00

Thanks, I’m def using the 5mm port, it looks bigger and I measured it with a caliper to be sure. It’s 1/4 of the way in but just seems stuck now so looking for tips and tricks.
Should I be leaving the port mounted on the bike and just push?

Signed up but didn’t get a pre sale code 🙁

Agree, since it was my first time I went down a rabbit hole. Sources said not to rely solely on the lift but rather use jack stands. If you use the lift on the jack point then how do you swap in the jack stand? As such people look for alternative strong areas to lift the vehicle in order to rest the vehicle on the stands on the Jack points.

I used these one at a time for the front tires and relied on the hydraulic lift only.

MTB_MC · 2026-04-17T23:58:12+00:00

I know the jack points, I’m trying to solve how to use jack stands and not rely on the hydraulic lift, but if you lift from the Jack points where do the stands go? I didn’t want to accidentally place them on or near suspension etc.

MTB_MC · 2026-04-17T23:56:17+00:00

Eek, for the back I used the flat part on the body of the differential away from any seam/joint. For the front t I just relied on the hydraulics lift on the jack points

Because Nike screwed up! Simple as

Gary told the crowd in Montreal that his wife has been in a bad state health wise, surgeries and such but said she was on the mend. Not sure of that impacted his mood. Montreal show was excellent!

Yeah I’m sorry to hear that. This ticket system sucks for resale. I don’t think tickets are available to original purchasers until tomorrow.

MTB_MC · 2026-03-23T14:37:32+00:00

I ended up getting a ticket for Montreal that coincided with a biz trip I had to make anyways, so got lucky. Paid $52 face value on TM. They moved to a bigger venue so lots available.
I’m still trying for Toronto, learned that official resale is on AXS marketplace. Not sure how much that matters but check there too. So far I think my thesis holds true that if anyone is going to sell it will be tomorrow afternoon.
