First Look: Kona Process 153 & 134
I'd suggest a refresh of the hei hei cr instead. I've owned a 111 years ago and the current hei hei. The hei strait rips and the ethos is very 111ish. It's an xc race bike that you can take on reasonable bike park stuff, it drinks a few too many post ride beers, wants to gap that root garden and throw the tail around...but then rolls up to the start line of a backcountry xc race and can podium cat1. Hei hei CR G2 suggestion: threaded BB, built in flap to cover the lower pivot bearings and make them last better (all konas, a inner tube flap cutout and zip ties works), static head angle to 66.5 degrees, and fix the seat tube ID issue, better derailleur cable routing.

SRAM Releases S-1000 Budget Transmission Drivetrain
Cable x01 is so good and cheap currently, I cannot fathom going any other route. I recently got x01 shifter/derailleur/1299 casette and an x01 chain for ~425 USD.

5 Things We Learned from the Crans Montana XC World Cup 2024
Agreed. All the surfaces the riders SHOULD touch were great. The surfaces they should NOT touch were highly consequential for no reason other that aesthetics. The rock drops to rock garden would have been great with no tombstone dividers waiting to impale you

Video: The New Crans-Montana XC World Cup Course Is A Piece of Art - A Very Technical One
@agnostic: I agree, kinda lame to watch xcc on a featureless course on a screen. In person is a different story. That "grass field" is crazy at the speeds they are going though, 20.5 mph average on the last lap. When I rode the snowshoe xcc course I couldn't believe how tricky it was. Off camber grass sweeper with zero support, crossing a gravel service road mid-corner.

First Ride: Specialized's New Chisel FS Cross-Country Bike - Aluminum Done Light
@dungeonbeast: the current hei hei is still one of the hardest hitting bikes in the category. A refresh with a threaded BB, better derailleur cable routing and *maybe a half degree slacker head angle and steep effective seat tube. Honestly, it's so good as it is. Jibby like a process 134, versatile like a honzo, eats chunky backcountry terrain and when you stomp it, IT GOES.

Handup Releases Affordable, Stretchy, Adventure-Ready MTB Jeans
Their jorts are solid and not hot. I've done NUE hundred milers in July in them. Nice abrasion resistant cover for your chamois, grit doesn't work its way in plus 99% of people think it's awesome/hilarious/whatever and 1% of people are so annoyed by your existence it eats them to their very core and they have a meltdown, which is extraordinarily entertaining.

Review: Shimano XT Linkglide - Here For a Good Time AND a Long Time
I've become a huge believer in 11 spd XT M8000 derailleur with SRAM XG-1150 all steel XD driver casette. Shifter/derailleur/casette and KMC x11 chain all together is less than $200 US. It's light too, really light. Like same weight as 12spd XTR light. I've got about 3000 miles on the mtb with this setup and over 10000 on the gravel bike with grx600 11 speed shifter/XTm8000 mech/tanpan/XG-1150 casette. It's incredibly durable
