5 Cyclist Attacked By Cougar Near Fall City, Washington
why does this article omit important details? The cougars were a mother and her cubs. Park rangers when they arrived shot and killed one of the cougars. It wasn’t specified whether the mother or her cub was killed. I am sincerely happy the woman survived, but the I do hope there is a justification for the senseless retaliation killing.

First Look: Hope's Carbon Crank and TR Stem
@justanotherusername: take a look at their mtb, the v1 was a good 5-6 years behind in geo, was full of proprietary non-standard components and zero design sensibility. Next, the Olympic track bike they were commissioned to build; v1 was drop dead gorgeous because it wasn’t designed by them, but then the v2 when Hope had their engineers play around with it, turned into an absolute Frankenstein. So to answer your question why they are ‘successful’, hope occupies a grey zone below boutique brands; it’s made in the UK and it works, so a brand worth supporting, but nowhere close to desirable both aesthetically and functionally compared to the likes of trickstuff, garbaruk, Ingrid, Unno, Intend, or even SRAM.

First Look: Hope's Carbon Crank and TR Stem
I really don’t understand hope. They seem to be a bunch of engineers with zero product, design, and strategic expertise.

First Ride: Auckland Cycle Works Marra Prototype with KOLARP Suspension
This looks really cool though. Seems like the initial linkage placement would give it a super efficient initial stroke but everything goes haywire once you sink deeper into the travel. Some adjustment to the crazy variance in leverage and rear center should really help. Also you can't really say "well it would've been perfect had I just given you a slightly shorter shock which I didn't" as an excuse.

Bike Check: UC Berkeley Students’ Handmade Carbon Mountain Bike
That’s like a reach as by product of other geo decisions, vs deciding the reach first as it should be

Review: Vee Tire Co's Gravity Lineup
That’s 5% of the tires. Doesn’t sound too bad and might have been from a bad batch

Suba Cycles' Flow is a High-Pivot Steel Creation from Spain
@onawalk: I think you know exactly what he’s talking about. This one’s similar to the Dave weagle linkage on evil bikes but with the high pivot, gearbox and steel frame it all looks even more complicated.
