Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum
@leon-forfar: Honest question. Are there any WC XC riders who run RaceFace components? I dont think I have ever seen one.

Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum
@leon-forfar: It does not weigh the same as the aluminum rings XC racers use. XX SL chainrings are 76g for 32T. Is that a bit nit picky? Yes I concede that it is. But every gram counts on a race bike. It may only be 10g, but since I assume WC racers use a new chainring each race or two, Im pretty sure wear isnt an issue for them.

@onawalk: You honestly think that XC racers in the Olympic games would be using a steel chainring?

So I can buy ~6 steel RaceFace 'normal' rings for the equivalent price of one ERA ring for a weight penalty of 70g in 32T?
Not sure im a fan of the math for the ERA ring.

Crestline Releases Special RS180 Team Edition eMTB
Is there no editing of these articles anymore? It is clearly AI written, and reads terribly. Go ahead an use AI if you like, but at least go over so it and edit it so that doesn't sound like robot vomit when you read it.

Throwback Thursday: 7 Bikes Turning 10 in 2024
I used it for a couple of seasons. Worked great, but was a bit of a pain to setup and replacement tubes were expensive.

So no photos in the article and the link to the MMR website leads to a dead title page. Nice work PB!
