Review: 2026 Trek Fuel LX / MX - The Secret Menu Option
@ewebster50: My bike has heavy casing tires, a dropper post, bottle cage, heavy ass cassette, pump, tools, adjustable frame (why even flip chips), XT brakes. I have not once replaced anything on this rig with a lighter version. It's still 8 whole ass American pounds lighter than the new rig. It used to be even lighter from the factory. They are just throwing metal at engineering/manufacturing problems.

Review: 2026 Trek Fuel LX / MX - The Secret Menu Option
So, Trek kills off the Remedy and basically the Fuel is that now? But also, almost a Slash? Yet is somehow 8lbs heavier than my 2015 Aluminum Remedy with tools strapped to it? What even happened to bikes now. Why are they all so heavy?

Opinion: Keeping the Spark Alive
My 2015 Trek Remedy 9 27.5 has aged from being All-Mountain to what is essentially an aggressive trail bike now? I keep demo'ing bikes that are supposed to be better but feel heavier and less nimble/fun.

Tech Randoms - Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup 2024
That Orange Vise is a slick looking piece of equipment. The $2,000.00 price tag is surprisingly not even outlandish for a precision vise. However, 3D printers and rubber jaws exist so I'll keep using those for the couple times a year I may need them.

Interview: Reece Wilson on Head Injuries, the Rainbow Stripes and Domestic Racing
Second to last question: How important do you think it is that the sport looks at how people come back from crashes, particularly head injuries?
Fifth Sentence in the answer.

Fits a water bottle and that bag is super useful for the kids to be self-sufficient. I dig it.

Kogel's Kolossos Oversized Cage Claims to Save you 2.5 Watts for $399
@gus6464: Yeah man, depending on the length of the run there isn't much difference between cables. Test after test has been done. As long as the cable is adequately sized, a Radioshack/Monoprice cable is just as good. Guys pushing fancy headphone cables really blows my mind.
