@EnduroManiac: Oh that's right! Forgot about Robot. Still cool that such a small brand had such an impact.

Looks like a...Atherton. Obviously not visually, but the customizable design via lugs and carbon. Pretty cool to see a cottage brand like Atherton having ripple effects on the big boys.

Review: NX Eagle - SRAM's New Affordable 12-Speed Drivetrain
This is big deal, particularly for any riders that were still running 2x drive trains. Once you take off the front derailure and the second ring the weight difference is pretty much zero and you get to simplify your system and run the most up to date drive train. All for less than $400. Pretty awesome. These are the type of developments and releases that probably aren’t huge money makers in and of themselves for companies but have a big impact in creating the impression that the company is rider focused, and is decoupling products for average joes just as much for wold cup competitors.

Recon Gen-2 R5 Shuttle Rack – Review
$1200 for a six bike rack?!?!...You can buy a bungie net at home depot for $10 and easily hold six bikes on the roof of your car. #typicalpinkbikecomment

Fly Racing's 2017 MTB Collection
Fly puts out some of the best kit availble every year...but is it just me or does all of this years stuff (with the exception of the Ripa Jersey) look like more Fox apparel (which is generally some of the more generic/meh stuff available)? I don't really like any of this.

Shimano Announces Affordable Deore M6000 Group and a Wide Range SLX Option
It's Festivus for the rest-uv-us!!! Which is appropriate because the pinkbike comment section has been an "open airing of grievances" since its inception.
