The Bike Shop / Re: Remember how a few arm-chair engineers called this out? Well who'd a thunk it..

I think I know a guy who works as a product developer for them. Not sure how long he has been at it or if he is the only one they have.

Update; yes it seems like it was him. Taken from his fb:

Left Job at wethepeople bmx

Cologne, Germany

I'm about 101% sure that guy had nothing to do with this crank and 101% sure he was not fired.

I feel like I'm actually hopping higher with hard tires because I feel it's slightly "quicker/easier" to pull up. All though I hate every other aspect of super hard tires (riding around 45-60PSI Front-Back)

Doesn't TheMerged guy on here now work as their Product Designer/TM?

I miss when that site was actually updated on a regular basis.

Not as product designer. He works with the team in "Product development" and "Team manager".

So stoked on finally having a Barcode.

Being a product nerd I had to film this in-depth bikecheck, there's some custom mods and
other cool stuff in there so I hope you guys will enjoy it!

My Keychain does the exact same thing. It kind of wanders on top of the sprocket teeth where it "enters the sprocket", never had a drivetrain feel this bad . I really like the master link but so far it has not been good to me.

The Bike Shop / Re: Yakob/Merged article on tyre size

« on: February 18, 2015, 03:29:48 PM »

1.75? Nah, too thin. 1.95 as a minimum. But 2.1 front and back is a good standard I think.

I dont think the inflation diameter has that big of an impact of me riding. But I wonder, is there like a standard or norm to what tyre size to use when measuring frame geometry, like BB height?

From what I've seen they assume the tire size is 20''. So for BB height it's 10'' plus the rise above axle line. It would, in my opinion, be better/more correct/make more sense to measure BB height from the axle line and not from the "ground".
