Cam Zink said, in his PB Bike Check interview video, that he has been prototyping his own bike brand and has even settled on a 150mm trail bike he loves. Unfortunately he also said the project is shelved at the moment due to him signing with a new frame company for the future

Possibly? Maybe it's the DH AXS shifter? Semenuk has been running a proto 7 speed AXS setup for awhile

At least you're out riding. A lazy day with no ebike = no riding for me.

I like a long scenic ride on those days. Do it for the nature, not the fitness or the rush.

Look at the huge front range e-peen on this guy. Going to go skid some more trails on Pikes?

Let people enjoy things.

E bikes are fine, i wish i could afford one. Would enable me to do 10k ft of climbing (and descending) after work on weekdays, and even crazier shit on weekends. from what ive heard its very different than riding a normal bike and almost more exhausting at times.

Sorry for the insultive comment,I just haven't been able to gain an interest in e-bikes at 57 going on 58 I am still having mad fun on a non motorized hardtail...If I were to get to that point for the cost of a capable descent quality e-bike I would probably lean more towards getting back into motos.I think the whole reason I leaned more towards mountain biking in the 80's and abandoned dirt biking was the simplicity of it.

Giant's new cross-country Anthem Advanced 0 model lists XX Eagle AXS on the spec list but the image shows an XX1 crank and derailleur

Anyone have any experience or knowledge of the new features of the Fox forks lower leg bypass channels and bleeder buttons ?


Wondering if it is worth ponying up for or just buying a 2021 fork at discount price .
