Field Test: 2022 YT Capra - The Speedy All-Rounder
Many enduro race stages have pedally sections and uphills. They don’t make the highlight reel but they are there and they matter for time. So, ya need something that can be efficient enough to save energy there. You can’t use that climb switch in the middle of a stage unless you have a handlebar lockout.

Review: TRP's New DH-R EVO Brakes
I prefer DOT due to better performance in winter. I've never had a problem with corrosion issues or paint problems in 5 or so years of bleeding SRAM brakes and 4 bikes in the family over that time.

What’s more embarrassing, telling people that you raced an ebike race or that you didn’t win despite having a motor on your bike?

Review: Shimano's All-New XT 4-Piston Brakes
@clink83: Yep, I agree! That’s why the OP’s argument that 4/5 people can’t bleed them right makes no sense. The reality is that they are so simple to bleed and almost everyone bleeds them in accordance with Shimano’s instructions, and if 4/5 people are having problems with the brakes there’s a brake design problem not a user bleed problem. On the other hand if the OP maintains that 4/5 people can’t bleed them correctly them Shimano hasn’t made the bleed process easy enough. But Shimano did. It’s very easy to follow their instructions.

Review: Shimano's All-New XT 4-Piston Brakes
Brake manufacturers should be making brake bleeds idiot proof. If 4 out of 5 people can’t bleed Shimano brakes correctly then that’s a Shimano design flaw. You shouldn’t have to be “good” at bleeding brakes to do it right. But as said, the wandering bite point problem is a design flaw that occurs with correctly bled Shimano brakes of late.

Review: The 2020 Santa Cruz Hightower Gets a New Look & More Travel
Yeah, the SC frames seem to be trending up in weight which is too bad given the price point. I went from a gen 3 Nomad which was just over 28 lbs (Pike/X2/carbon wheels), to a Hightower which is 29 lbs (36/X2/carbon wheels). I actually did an XC race on the gen 3 Nomad and swapped tires, pedals, and grips and was able to get the weight down to about 26 lbs. Anyways, I do lots of long trail rides and at this weight I would just go for the Megatower if I was deciding between the two.

First Ride: Yeti’s New SB150
As a redhead riding in 95-100F heat in the summer my body sweats out about 2 bottles per hour, a single bottle only works for under 1500k feet of climbing and then I drink a bunch when I get home. Totally depends on genes, where you live, and how hard you are pushing.
