SRAM Releases Stealth Brake Lineup
I done the less pretty version of this with 2 tiny wire ties (one around the stem screw, with the housing routed tie through the screw tie). Works great and when left a tad loose on the housing side, allows for movement as needed during turning. Keeps the flapping and tapping to a minimum and looks cleaner to me.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 84 - Explaining RockShox's Computer Controlled Suspension
Rather boring reply, but the proper pronunciation of AXS is "ACCESS", not "AXIS". Sooo, no worries about an "AXIS OF EVIL from SRAM"... Henry just has to worry about the "ACCESS TO EVIL" in the form of the electrical battery madness. https://support.sram.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017162894-What-is-AXS-and-how-do-you-pronounce-it-

First Ride: Trek's 2020 Top Fuel Gets a Little More Travel & a Lot More Aggressive
@SangamonTaylor: And that's not a bad thing. The 2016 9.8 that I had was awesome apart from the overly heavy stock wheels and the 2x XT drivetrain.
The new one benefits from a bit more "modern" geometry and components, and should be a great trail/race bike. Seems to be mostly a winner with the brakes being the one point I see for improvement.

They unceremoniously dropped the RE:aktiv and Thru Shaft that were both a "Revolution" when each one was introduced?

Trek Debuts New RE:aktiv Thru Shaft Shock Technology
The AMP was little more than some simple shafts, piston and o-ring seals. Modern quad-lip seals and coated shafts will perform far better than that ancient relic.
For those worried, it is the same basic level of sealing needed on the existing shaft for a regular IFP shock. This design just adds another of the same design, so I don't think there is a major concern unless you question the main seal already.

Trek's New Fuel EX 29 and Remedy 27.5 - First Ride
@NickBosshard: Actually, they are doing the reviews on the bikes provided by Trek. They are at the mercy of Trek via an invite to an on-site product release and ride what is presented to them. PB chose nothing other than to show up, ride and report.
This isn't like Consumer Reports where they buy the vehicle and test it independently of the maker. PB may do that in the future for a full test, but this is a product release. The same goes for every other mag's presentation of these bikes right now.

Is This Adjustable Stem Ingenious or Unnecessary?
There are several sizing stems available that are far better than this would be for that purpose:
