NBD: Purple Hayes, Wireless Brake Sensor, Emergency Bleed Kit…

clutch on the Mavic motor sounds perfect! pedaling a Shimano motor when the battery has run out was horrible. Be interesting to see what is unique/patented about the cycloidal reduction used in the Mavic motor given that lots of industrial applications us this. That and the harmonic drives seem perfect for bike motors as they each enable big reductions in ratios in a small concentric package.

Race Face Lifetime Warranty which covers all product failures related to riding

Hub wear such as bearings or freewheels are covered by our 2-year Limited Warranty (Vault hubs have class leading bearing sealing for years of hard use)

No. No they don’t. Son wore out a set of pawls / springs in 3 months on a Turbine c wheel, and only a full freehub was offered at £80 cost. No warranty interest from RaceFace at all, in fact the reply from Canada was borderline rude. Guess what wore out 3 months later again?
Thankfully CRC stepped up and allowed us to reject the wheel.
RaceFace – just never again

No Hendrix references, this place has changed!!

We’re saving those for the voodoo childs bike

I didn’t think I could find a titanium bike undesirable. I was wrong. That is ugly af. I do quite like the look of the e13 cranks though. Very smart.
