...and didn't slip like the new Onyx.Huh, I’d pay good money for a silent hub.
As long as it wasn’t any more than the good money I pay for hopes.

But then your mates riding in front can't tell that you're rolling a section that they are pedalling, this is why they made hubs loud, it has nothing to do with the number of spanglers engaging the flower drum.Huh, I’d pay good money for a silent hub.

I've got an Onyx hub on the pump track bike which I picked up off Sethius... the silence is very zen.Huh, I’d pay good money for a silent hub.

Generally it only lets em know I’m tankedBut then your mates riding in front can't tell that you're rolling a section that they are pedalling, this is why they made hubs loud, it has nothing to do with the number of spanglers engaging the flower drum.
I love a noisy flower drumBut then your mates riding in front can't tell that you're rolling a section that they are pedalling, this is why they made hubs loud, it has nothing to do with the number of spanglers engaging the flower drum.
you cant really be expecting australians to use english truly and correctly can you? i mean honestly, we butcher this language worse (better?) than any other nation dont we?Re-reading all five years' worth of this thread only serves to reinforce how much the word "standard" is misused and misunderstood. Most (but not all) things complained about are not standards at all, they're proprietary systems.
A dab of 3. Looking at you, Cannondale.Mostly 1, with a sprinkling of 5.
Car and motorbike manufacturers have been doing it forever.Didnt realise the thread had been going 5 years .
I was being being flippant using the word "standards " because they are anything but standard .
It hasnt really improved in 5 years and the sheep are still passively supporting them by unquestioning by buying new bikes even though they dont know what boost or 12 speed is ?
what is behind proprietary systems
Is it
Any other ideas .
- Planned obsolescence by creating incompatibility ?
- An incremental attempt to improve things ?
- An attempt to cause brand loyalty like frequent flyer points.?
- An attempt to create an arbitrary fashion but argue it is logical ?
- The result of patents and restricting intellectual property?
as I said before I have too much time at present due to injuries ,so if this is all too much to think about go to the next thread titled " I wanna buy a new bike what is the best?"
I hope it is mainly 2 . the cynic in me says its all 5 and more?
You can't have 3 without a little 4.A dab of 3. Looking at you, Cannondale.
Actually, cannondale is all 5.You can't have 3 without a little 4.
Yep. absolutely agree, but i said they can get expensive, and my point is that someone can buy a certain brand with no idea what they're getting into only to find down the line they are trapped with HAVING to buy that particular brand as a part with no option because of some proprietary design that they implement and claim it's brilliant/ingenious/innovative when really it's only function is to stop the customer replacing it with an alternative brand...Mountain biking is as expensive as you want it to be, no one has a gun to your head to buy the latest and greatest. A lot of people believe the shite they read online and are way overbiked for their needs but that's their prerogative, without them I wouldn't find cheap secondhand deals around. Whatever you go through a lot of, (chains, tubes, brake pads & Etc.) buy it in bulk online when they have sales rather than at the LBS individually where it will usually cost you an arm and a leg.
