2W Gravity Enduro - Rotorua, New Zealand

+1 Pan Pac Eskdale park. These tracks can also get muddy there esp. at the base. My full respect to the guys that helped built the Ninja track. Such a shame that whole section is going to get logged in the next couple of years or so.

Yeti SB66 - Tested

It'd better be a superbike if it costs that much. Mind you, you'd get a proper 1000cc superbike for not much more.

First of all @seraph, take a chill pill. You and the rest of the bicycle industry can push carbon down our throat all you want, its not going to change the fact that when carbon fiber fails, it either leaves very little clue that it has actually happened (internal or barely visable cracks) and eventually it can fail catastrophically. The tester of these ENVE rims has suffered a separated shoulder as a result of that failure. Tell it to him. In his own words: "Carbon has it's place, which is for race use only. If you ride hard every day, forget about it."

The first thing I replaced on a "near new" road bike I bought off eBay were the carbon bars. Just didn't know their past history so couldn't trust them. Got an alloy one that weights about the same, costs half the price and does not require a torque wrench on the bolts. I am the original owner of all my other bikes including the DH one. Not one of them has carbon bars installed despite a couple of nice looking carbon nanotube bars laying just next to them. @seraph I find it hard to believe I am the minority here.

2013 Predictions: Matt Wragg's Euro Enduro Edition

It all depends where you ride and for how long. I'm normally a musher but still prefer 30T or 32T up front and 11-34 on longer local rides. That might change to 34T or 36T elsewhere or for when I only get out for an hour or two. As for changing over existing bikes to the new 11 speed hubs and drivetrains is just not feasible for most. To get extra climbing prowess out of existing 1x 7, 8, 9 or 10 speed systems, just run smaller rings. You can go below 32T up front with spiderless rings.

To the Mountains - Kona Style

Nice one kona. That subtle ad in a gorgeous setting got me interested in your gear. Must be subliminal advertising at work..
