@wyorider: I used to run a Shimano “Viagra” road rear mech on an old DJ bike. It was quite the perky upgrade over the Tiagra version it replaced…

There’s also the new Trek Fuel EX E - I’m surprised it’s not featured on the main page here yet. Looks like another lightweight E option.

@Tambo: Well, there in lies one of the issues; in a world of increasing costs, how many customers are going to think £60 plus parts to change a gear cable (a £15 or whatever job on almost any other bike) is “A Good Thing”? For the shop, you’re now stuck doing extra work to change a headset bearing/spacer, when you could perhaps have more usefully or profitably spent that time elsewhere in store, or on another customer’s bike. In a given time frame, it’s generally better (from a variety of perspectives) for a shop to get through multiple repairs vs sinking extra time into a single one. It’s particularly galling to think that the extra time requirement has come about because a brand manager somewhere couldn’t bear to see a few inches of exposed hose on an MTB. Mechanics generally dislike it, and I think most customers buying into it will soon learn to one way or another…

Matt's an awesome human being, and FTW is a legend in his own right. I was eyeing up that bike the other week, looked a superb bit of kit.

Hof breathing for the Wim!

Can’t help but think the Achill-E-s would make a good addition to the E-Troy too..

Love Carbon Wasp, glad this is finally out in the wild!

@humoroususername: Tucker Carson is a truly woeful excuse for a human being, and a self aggrandizing mouthpiece trumpeting views and opinions based outside of reality; which is to say he’s a host on Fox News.

As a hardtail lover, there's certainly some real treats up top. But there's no question - that yellow Chance would have to be "the one'.... (followed closely by that Turner ;p)

Tht’s grt stff, thnks gys!
