Does any of these fabrics (gore, exoshell, ...) still work after more then 3 years? Personally I use mine a lot so I don't mind spending a bit of money on them but I would expect if you spend 200+ euro on a jacket that it lasts a while. My Endura MT500 hardly lasted 3 years and that was while using their DWR renewing shampoo... If I dare wearing it now i'm soaked even if there is just a drizzle... My current jacket is one from Decathlon.... 80-90 euro and I would say it's at least as good as the MT500 but it feels a lot tougher. The cut is also way better suited for biking... the MT500 is pretty much just a bag you throw over yourself. Breath-ability of the Decathlon jacket is on par with what i had with the MT500... i guess the patent on these technical waterproof but breathable fabric expired or something?

I'm wondering who this device is for? does it actually have a map view where i can see the gpx i'm trying to follow? because honestly i don't care a single bit about heartrate, training stuff, strava or for christ sake taking emails while i'm biking... I just want an honest true gps device that gives me a map and a track.

German-A and Sandmanbikes have been selling of the shelf suspension forks for a couple of years now...

Would have loved to see the Giant Trance 650b in between those...

Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars smashing a perfectly gooooooood bike... I don't know who they think they are smashing a perfectly gooooooood bike...

There is nothing new in that design... Decathlon Rockrider 9.2 have used a microlink embedded in a eccentric pivot point for at least 9 years now... Sure it doesn't look as sexy as the one from Yeti... but principle is exactly the same: http://www.vttnet.org/2003/dkt92/Exentrique.jpg read more (article from 2003!!!) : http://vttnet.org/article.php?id_article=132 The ones they sell today still use the same principle.
