Thanks, generally it would be interesting to make a gif or something of a shoes degradation over time where each frame is a month of riding

I find that tread patterns that don't have big chunky lugs tend to get shredded fairly quickly. This is what drove me away from the Shimano GR7s, they just didn't hold up relative to big fiveten dots or similar patterns. This pattern looks to be in the dainty tread realm, can you share a picture of what they look like after X months or riding?

I just don’t get the concave pedal paradigm. I tried vaults with my impact pros and my feet were just flying off where they were locked on with oneups, a supposedly convex pedal. Maybe less stiff shoes conform to concave pedals better?

I tried Tannus for three months this summer and noticed that for a given pressure they would audibly bottom out relative to the Rimpact I had on prior and Cushcore I had on it the past. They also added a noticeable substantial wobble and imbalance that could be felt while coasting on roads. Perhaps there is a way to massage them into shape, but I was not successful at this, and couldn't figure out how to align them. I think the inserts that lock onto the rims center channel have an advantage in this regard, less faffing. When I did get a sidewall cut, I noticed sealant didn't flow as freely to it no matter how much I added.

You could also envision custom lowers with space for this device, though I hear that the magnesium casting is the most costly component to manufacture?

Why not just have a shock pump style hose connected to the footnut valve? This would enable a greater variety of positions. For example, you could have a custom brake bracket with a position to mount the Secus above the caliper, and aligned with the lateral axis of the caliper so that it is good and protected?

I noticed that the mechanic has cut off the rubberized coating on some of the Wera hex keys. Sometimes he leaves a band near the elbow and some times it's near the tip of the long end. Would he mind sharing the reason for this? Is it just to toss them on the magnet more easily?

How well does the hose quick disconnect feature work?

What a great deal. Interesting timing, as Push is now performing cartridge-only tuning, though you have to send it in. What do you guys think about the need for custom rebound tunes? It seems like those who are playing with tokens might want to adjust HSR as well?

It's never been harder to sell used bikes than it is now.
