While we are yelling at CK. Fark your stupid fragile o-ring that holds the bearing headset cap parts together and it’s a weird size you can only buy from CK.

Is that when he became an electrician and hired a chauffeur?

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
And fuck having to use a mallet to drive the headset cap into place with steerer spacers while trying to hold the whole front end together.
The Aheadset patent has expired already, get with the fucking program.

....that we can agree on.

I used to think the same, a 6-bolt die hard... now a centrelock convert.
So much easier.

Oh I'm only whinging because I've got a pile of 6 bolt rotors that would be rendered unusable. Plus I'm not sure a few manufacturers (TRP?) even make centrelock rotors.

A cassette tool and wrench aren't the kind of things you take on the trail though. That said, how many times have you had to tighten rotor bolts on the trail?

Its a Shimano BB for MTB, the cassette tool is only for internal CL rotor lockrings on QR bikes and roadies thru axles. Anything with a 15mm thru axle needs an external CL lockring which is the BB tool.
I've never had a CL disc come loose though I have had to tighten someone else's.
6 Bolt, even with my strict regime and consistent tightening of rotor bolts, I have had a Ti bolt come loose and start making a clicking noise. I stopped and unscrewed the bolt by hand and put it in my pocket.
Other peoples, several occasions I have had to use the T25 on my multitool to tighten bolt(s)
The saving grace with 6 bolt is if one comes loose, you have 5 more, with CL if it comes loose, its loose... though tightening by hand will get you home.

He became a computer programmer so he could afford to hire an electrician and a chauffeur.

That is tasty. I don't care how long it lasts or if it is tough to clean.

Yes you do...you need to know when to have the next one on order.

A Better Derailleur? Supre Drive Splits the Traditional Derailleur in Two
The Supre Drive solves the problem of derailleurs breaking. It’s reliable like a gearbox, but it doesn’t have the drag and weight disadvantages of gearboxes. No other mountain bike drivetrain achieves this: the reliability of a gearbox combined with the efficiency and low weight of a derailleur...

Ha. I posted that over in Newly Released Bikes. Cool mad science, interesting to see where it goes.

I'm not buying in on this new trend until I see an extra pivot/idler/pulley/jockey at the drop outs! And not just a lawhill rebirth.

Unfortunately CNC cranksets seem to go that way. They can make some beautiful looking goodies, but, y'know....
Drop forged FTW.

That is what we are talking about. Can we get Thor's mjolnir on the heavy duty hammering action too.
I want. Luckily out of stock and no 24mm spindles. They would make nice door handles
