Mathieu Van Der Poel Signs Unprecedented 10 Year Contract with Canyon
That's the central European middle to upper management uniform. If the stars align, one day you'll be able to deliver a key note at some business school dressed like this

Randoms - Sedona MTB Festival 2024
Those Reeb gussets always make me nervous about corrosion. Paint has a tendency to flake on those edges

@vinay: nopes, all the wear parts of those pedals (pins, bearing, bushing) except for the seal are standard ISO components

Day 1 Randoms - Core Bike 2024
@MegaStoke: They are, while at the same time admiting that "yes, we know that the only tire available right now kind of sucks". Candid of them to admit it, but shows the challenges of bulding a bike like that

First Ride: Privateer 161 Gen 2 - The Beast Is Back
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but, after getting spoiled by Sram Transmission drivetrains, I will never consider a non UDH frame ever again

Review: 6 Months Aboard the Specialized Levo SL eMTB
Still needing a battery for the AXS derailleur on an e-bike is kind of weird to me

Checking In On San Util's Whirlpool Hip Pack & The Process Behind Development
I know this is going to sound silly, but I get the impression that hip bags only work properly if one has "bigger glutes". At least that's the pattern I see among my riding group.
I personally prefer them by far compared to backpacks. Backpacks seem to affect my balance way much, not to mention the sweaty back. And if I'm carrying so much that won't fit into the hip bag, then I'm better off with some bike bag.
Also on long distance bikepacking I tried both hip bags and the now trendy running vest, and much prefer the former. Makes changing layers much easier and if you loosen the belt a little bit the bag actually rests on the saddle/saddle bag and you don't even feel it

First Look: The 2024 Arc8 Extra Has Suspension Rails
@Naero: there are plus and minuses for big brand vs small boutique.
The big brands can have a lot of R&D power, with very expensive stuff available like heavy duty computer simulations, labs and wintunnels available. Generally its also fair to assume that they'll be around for longer and ensure product support.
One thing that small brands surely seem to do better is how approachable and supportive they are to the consumers.

Just hope that the BB on this one can actually remain attached to the bike...
