akta MTB Launches S26 Apparel and Protection Collection
I love all the AKTA stuff.
I already have their pants, shorts, gloves, vest, knee pads and jersey. For sure I will get their elbow pads next.

Pinkbike Poll: Pick Your Side on Mountain Biking's Most Polarizing Topics
So many other debates to poll PB users about...
- Boost148 vs SuperBoost157?
- Headset routing vs Standard internal?
- Tire inserts vs No inserts
- Electronic vs mechanical shifting
- Frame storage vs cheaper and better looking bikes
- Hydration pack vs water bottles
- Fanny pack vs backpack
- Etc.

First Look: The Nukeproof Tracker is Their New Budget Hardtail
@sfarnum: Counterpoint: Said mom would be much better served with a thru-axle setup requiring a simple hex key to remove and no real way to fuck up, rather than a QR they don't understand.
I have seen too many QR only tightened by hand because the user didn't know using the lever to secure the wheel was important.
I have also seen many people thinking they need to disassemble the QR axle to remove the wheel...then re-assemble the QR axle with the springs in the wrong direction...and that's when they don't simply loose the springs.

Bike Check: Julian Hine's Full Rasta Chromag Lowdown
First thing I noted on the bike was the Michelin chainstay protector. Nice!

First Ride: Devinci's New Made-in-Canada E-Spartan Lite
@redfoxrun: Where do you get that "20% stronger" claim? A bit stiffer, probably...but there's no way it's 20% stronger.
Anyways, I'm not saying SuperBoost is bad. I just think it's unnecessary, as Boost148 was perfectly fine.
My 3 mtb are Boost148 (including a 2018 Spartan), so SuperBoost157, is up there with headset routing in the "do not buy" specifications. I like to have a decent level of compatibility in the fleet.

First Ride: Devinci's New Made-in-Canada E-Spartan Lite
...and will most likely be Boost148.
I was hoping this new release was going to be a (non-electric) Spartan with Boost148 spacing. I got one out of two wishes. :)

Akta MTB Releases 2025 Apparel Collection
Big fan of Akta here. I have their pants, shorts, jersey, gloves. All their stuff is great.
That vest is tempting and I will try their knee pads next.
