First Look: Vorsprung's New Telum Coil Shock
Didn’t know about the Kamloops news. Seems like it’ll be a neat little ecosystem there with them and WR1.

Review: Knolly Chilcotin 170 - They Haven't Just Straightened the Top Tube
Isn't Henry's impression on anti-rise reversed? I feel like under braking, lower anti-rise = less stability due to more weight transfer to front but more active (smoother) rear suspension, and higher anti-rise = more stability due to maintaining geometry on braking but less active (harsher) rear suspension.

Aaron Gwin to Join Crestline as Rider & Part-Owner for 2024 - Full Interview & Podcast
@jaytdubs: Sure let's talk about the size of the pie. What's the TAM for DH race bikes + overpriced ebikes?
Also, R&D? Sure Gwin would be able to contribute to kinematics, geo, but do you really think he knows anything about frame design, carbon manufacturing, QA/QC? MTBs have converged on the linkages, proportions and angles - there's hardly anyone doing anything wildly different these days.
If I was seriously thinking about buying an expensive bike from a tiny company, my concerns would be on durability, quality, and whether the company will be around in a few years to support the frame. Gwin's presence doesn't change any of that.

Aaron Gwin to Join Crestline as Rider & Part-Owner for 2024 - Full Interview & Podcast
He's not buying in, and Crestline is still sponsoring Gwin racing...so these guys gave away a third of their company for nothing? Sure Gwin's a legend but maybe they've overestimated the power of marketing.

The End of Intense Factory Racing Officially Announced
Don't know how Intense has the funds to sponsor anything. In the past year I can probably count on one hand the number of Intense bikes I've seen out on the trails and on car racks. And I'm in BC so sample size is not small.

Trailforks 2023 Development Updates
@canadaka: Presumably it would be the same app for all WatchOS devices? Peasant here with a Watch SE, but if you had an app that also has HR recording, I'd drop Strava entirely.

Pinkbike Poll: What Are Your Must-Have Features On a New Mountain Bike?
Interesting that the majority of respondents want full 29ers. Just reinforces my suspicion that mullet bikes is just an industry ploy to sell new bikes.

First Look: Transition TransAM Steel Hardtail
Eh, I have a 150mm Lyrik on my Norco Torrent. Feels great. With such a slack static HTA, I never felt like the front end got too steep even in heavy compressions.

Field Test Review: 2023 Unno Burn - You Know You're Curious
@drbino: I just saw Enduro's North American bike brands shootout today and was surprised that they criticized the Lowdown and the Arrival 170 as being poor climbers. Are the Euros just smashing out massive watts or maybe they just have smoother less techy climbs?
