First Ride: 2024 Yeti SB165 - Now With Mixed Wheels

Kinda disappointing! Too close to the 160 enduro rig - should have been released as sb170 or better yet a sb180 to differentiate it further!

First Ride: Forbidden Dreadnought V2 - More Travel & Longer Chainstays

Now someone needs to test if a 65mm stroke shock is compatible with the Dreadnought to make it a 170ish mm super-enduro! :)

Review: Lewis LHT Ultimate Brakes - Clones or Contenders?

@theArtiist: seems like you’re into trying all the top dogs in the brake market. What’s your opinion on the Intend Trinity brakes?

First Ride: Privateer 161 Gen 2 - The Beast Is Back

It’s funny how, according to Pinkbike, it’s not OK for a small manufacturer like Privateer to make 161mm out of a 60mm stroke, but it’s perfectly fine for a big one like Spesh or Santa Cruz to make 170mm out of the same stroke…

Crestline Releases Special RS180 Team Edition eMTB

@wellbastardfast: thanx for the clarification - wasn’t sure about it. What’s interesting about the e-Crestline is it’s not using an idler, yet they release a chart showing the frame has 22mm of rearward axle path - an amount that usually needs one. At least other manufacturers use one when having such a rearward path. Then again, Cascade do know their shit about suspension - couldn’t figure it out of their explanation about it, but i’m not this into suspension know-how! :)

Crestline Releases Special RS180 Team Edition eMTB

They work together with Cascade Components. Or are the brand of Cascade. Or vice versa, not sure really!

@IamGroot5482: aren’t Pinion stating the box and motor don’t need any support?

Review: The New 2024 Scott Ransom 900 RC Has All The Integration

Looks great, sounds great performance-wise. But too pricy - there are cheaper bikes out there which are on par or almost as good as this new Ransom.

The e-bike doesn’t need to look exactly like the regular one! ;)

Review: The New 2024 Scott Ransom 900 RC Has All The Integration

What’s so high about the shock ratio? A 65mm stroke gives 170mm travel - 99% of the industry use these numbers for their models. The only one i can think of right now that uses a longer shock for such travel is the Devinci Chainsaw (70mm stroke)!
