I wonder if there are any “how mountain biking improves (something)” articles on yoga websites…

They should have called this bike “the backpedal”

I'm all for this series, it's perfect reference material for the next time you have to explain why you spent so much money on some part for your bike to your significant other. "Sure, I COULD have spent less... but just look at what happened to Henry in this YouTube video when they explored what happens when you buy cheap parts."

That my comment has gotten a fair amount of down votes is amusing to me. I own a Commencal, I love it, it’s a really rad bike and a really rad company. I realize and acknowledged that it’s more than likely a translation issue, but apparently pointing out actual errors (most of which have actually been used/updated in the article) is apparently beyond the pale for some folks. I suppose it’s “best” to just ignore obvious errors when you see them… next time you’re on the trail and you see someone with a really low tire, or an open backpack, or drop something out of their pocket… do the “best” thing: don’t say anything, just ignore it.

Usually, I couldn't be bothered to care, but the volume of typos/translation-oddities in this short press release are... impressive: - three quote (") characters in Max's quote... - "We could have understood that this meeting could not be a coincidence.": I have to imagine that "could" was meant to be "should". -"How to say no to such an opportunity": rather "How could we say no to such an opportunity". as written it sounds like they are wondering what the right way to say no is. - "Much more than an announcement effect": perhaps "We aren't just doing this to generate headlines" - "For those who like to understand": not sure what to do with this, it just sounds... unnatural.

Why is there never talk about dynamo-hub powered derailleurs, electronic suspension crap, etc…??? It seems like an obvious solution to many of the electronic component complaints. It would also allow frame designers to build in integrated wiring to all the places.

Really glad there was no mention of all the tick fever in and around Boise… wouldn’t want to scare anyone away.

I need to start riding in jeans...

…call me crazy, but to me those trails would all be more fun on a hard tail. Seems like a weird video choice to promote 140+mm full suspension bike.

At some point before long, I have to imagine that all of these things will be powered by a dynamo hub...
