I'm thinking of changing tack and instead source a set of Race Face Aeffect R cranks to fit to my bike.
I have a spare 32T chainring so I'll fit the AbsoluteBLACK oval chainring to the new cranks, move my Race Face Ride cranks to my son's bike along with the original round Race Face chainring...
That's just a horizontal orientation issue. Buttons on a steering wheel are not, that requires you to work out where buttons are along an arc. That's not muscle memory, that requires attention and coordination.
All the examples are of people negotiated large roundabouts with quarter turns of the wheel required. Now do the same on a smaller suburban roundabout, then do it at night.
Stalk make sense as you don't even need to look, you just rely on muscle memory to use them. Ergonomics is hard..
Well the first one had a faulty lambda sensor but then it was trouble free for 6,000 miles. The second one needed a gearbox recondition and the big fuse failed but that was an older used model.
Agreed, straight ahead doesn't change the position of the buttons.
I've never had a button fail in a car in the 30 years I've been driving. And I've owned two TVRs!
Because Teslas have been faultless with cameras... But seriously, why are companies trying to do away with tried and trusted ergonomics? There's a reason VW are returning to buttons and switches from non-tactile touch controls.
They ride really well - a little weighty but you can buy some quality wheels and lighten up the rotating mass by at least half a kilo. The standard bike came with a Rockshox 35 but we got a Pike Ultimate as a warranty replacement!
A motorbike doesn't have a steering wheel. Your hands grip the bars and there is limited side to side movement, but your hands and controls are always in the same place.
Putting vertical indicator buttons on a steering wheel so they're not consistently in the same place is a dumb idea. It just is.
I rarely take mine to the city, but when I do I rarely have issues parking it.
I also looked at the updated Tesla Model Y online (Juniper) and apparently ventilated seats will be available :)
