Opinion: Why Is Everyone Talking About Seat Tube Angles?
How 'bout someone just freakin' makes a saddle where your butt goes in the middle of the rails instead of the back of them? Fizik made one a few years ago called the Thar, but they marketed it as a "29er" saddle and everyone mocked them. They should make it again and call it a "shitty seat angle" saddle.

Opinion: Carbon and Aluminum Wheels - Does Stiffer Always Mean Better?
I'm a heavy, decently strong rider, but don't charge psycho hard and don't have a tendency to break shit. I really like stiff-ass carbon everything, including wheels. The first time I took a tight local hairpin on a carbon frame in 2014, it was a revelation. Never noticed how much my frame had been moving under me until it wasn't. A few years later, carbon wheels were less of a game changer, but I still feel the improved (to me) ride quality and really appreciate it.
That said, while the people i know who race CX, road, and XC don't break carbon wheels, the ones who race enduro and downhill do. They trash alloy rims too, but it's less expensive. Those wheel breakers also do appreciate the stiffness of the carbon rims when they're in one piece.

Review: 1 Year on Cane Creek's Ultra-Light Titanium eeWings Cranks
I’m not a metallurgist or production expert, but forging this crankset and machining that linkage thing seems trickier from a manufacturing standpoint than sourcing some titanium tubes and welding a frame together.
