A day without riding is like a day stuck in bed with your bathrobe on.

Review: DVO Onyx SC D1 Enduro Fork
I have a first gen Diamond 170 27.5. The OTT felt awesome and the mid stroke was better than my 170 lyrik ultimate charger 2.1 with similar sag/ramp. I'm about 160lbs kitted. The airspring cartridge failed after a season. It would leak air out of the cartridge into the lowers and blow the wiper seals off. I recently had a coworker help me find a replacement and service it, but I haven't ridden it again to compare to the lyrik. It was 590$ on sale on Universalcycles.com back in 2019 (the rootbeer color was even cheaper), and the performance for the first season was awesome. I'm hesitant to buy anything else from them...especially with current prices.

Video: Shiggy Mac Hits Handbuilt Shore Lines on Kona’s Process X
@TannerValhouli: Offset on the HTZ rim is cool, especially since Dt doesn't really do offsets and stans doesn't do alloy rims with offsets, but the 13 gauge spokes on the HTZ wheelset are heavy and overkill if it isn't an ebike rear wheel. I agree with ya that I'd never want to pay for a wtb wheelset on bike this expensive even if it wasn't meant for rough descents. 6069 alloy on the newer wtb stuff (looks like the old frequency series is gone from the wtb website), and dt sidewalls aren't really that thick, but still. Overpriced complete builds are what got me into building my own wheels.

Bike Check: Rachel Atherton's Atherton AM.200 Downhill Bike
Yeah maybe she wants to avoid the 11spd chain that the sram dh cassette uses. Set the limit screw and consider the 2 extra cogs as a lil heavier than the sram spacer block on the 7spd. The weird thing is whether or not the cable pull /gear spacing plays nice on that cassette. Maybe it ends up ok.

Shimano Launches Ultread Soles & 2022 Footwear Range
@noideamtber: Also, Shimano shoes have changed toe boxes in recent years. My M086 shimanos fit better than my M089 that replaced them, and the M089 fit better than the boa dial ones I bought recently (overly long but also mess with my pinky toe). The arch on the new shoes is different too, so my favorite insoles don't really work anymore.

Fox Release 200mm Drop Transfer Seatpost
5 years of riding the external cable 125 transfer has been great. No problems in the cold and has never been serviced. Less than one year or riding the internal 150 (black stanchion) has led to stuck post when the temp is below 50ish degrees F. Also leaking out of the lip seal recently. Minnesota has seen some extreme temp swings this month

Ultimate Bike Check: Cam McCaul's Trek Remedy
It works and it is overpriced. I'll never buy another one, but I've been running one for a long time. It should be 20 bucks.
