Hey Jared, what was spooking you out to your left, during the 'quiver-killer' listener question? 😆 Also, would I be right to understand that using a wax-based lube does not require stripping the factory coating first, in order to be effective?
I’m a guy who loves the newest gadgets but electronic shifting sucks, it might work a little better, but the reliability is terrible when compared to mechanical shifting.
@@dirtbikedude0157 one of my ridding buddies has been running axs for a year and his has broken down numerous times including once during a race. Now it’s not working at all with error codes for a firmware update and it won’t connect to an app. If it was close to the same price or way better I could see an argument but I would rather put my money in suspension or save it for the next bike and I’m a guy who rides $1100 cranks…
@@brassmnky33 I'd say that is a pretty rare case, with the 5 years it's been out for the MTB, I know of 2-3 cases like that. There is always the case/argument for mechanical shifting and how you can rig a fix on trail if need be, but I wouldn't say electronic shifting us unreliable at all.
Yeah, I’ll never go to electric shifting. I know it’s good, I’m just not into having to charge batteries or having to carry back ups for long rides. I just want to be able to grab my bike in the morning and go. Or for trips when I’m riding multiple days in a row, I want my bike to just be ready to go at all times, and axs does not provide that ability like a mechanical shifter
some trickery in the spacing, not the best chainline but its not transmission so just a bit cross chained when in the 52t. Yes, running a 34SC 120mm to save some weight and get the front end and bb a touch lower
@@liamwoods5353when messing with the chain line like that, do you have issues with dropping gears while back pedaling in the lowest gear? I’m having that issue right now
The cheaper stumpy will have the new S-1000 transmission. At least some of the lower trim models. There may be a bottom tier with mechanical ports though?
Enjoy Listening to your podcast. Thanks for the good Info!
Great episode. Tons of information.

2 years on AXS zero problems and I hammer my shit.

Turo for bikes exists it's called Spinlister. Not sure how well it's doing it's been around for many years.
Rad! Apparently there's another site called www.upcyclebikes.co/ that a listener sent us as well.
Feel better Jeff
Is the dude in the white T in the yakuza ?
Yup. Willie is a bad dude.
How did you fit a 38t on the ARC? I thought 34 or 36 was the max.
Are you running a 120mm fork on it?

I run Stans Schrader valves on all my bikes for the last 5 years, and I've never had a single clog.
Epic! Good to know.
Wrong title?
