The WORST Mountain Bike Part You STILL Use — Berm Peak


As mountain bikers, Presta valves are something we just deal with. However, it's strange how many other things we have optimized, such as headsets, seat posts, drivetrains, wheels, and even shoes.

Ich habe es vor einer Weile mal aus Neugier installiert und etwas damit herumgespielt. Auf den ersten Blick ziemlich cool!

Wirklich „produktiv“ benutzt habe ich es bisher nicht, werde es jetzt aber mal als Alternative ausprobieren.

Just to say. I really enjoy basic bicycle maintenance but whoever designed the Bengal hydraulic disc system really should have their bicycle component engineering degree revoked.

Anyway. Thirty minutes in and we have brakes on one side of the cargobike box. Maybe that's enough anyway?

Norwegians _loves_ it when foreigners says something nice about us! So of course a great video saying that we're doing something right gets an article in one of the two biggest local newspapers in the relevant city! :D

And if you haven't seen the video from @notjustbikes yet, well prepare yourself to get your mind blown by a tunnel in sunny, warm, basically tropical city of Bergen, Norway
