Seems strange that in 2022 none of the big name took kits come with a torque wrench.

Tech Week 2023: 6 New Rain Jackets to Keep You Dry
The only solution I’ve found for this is Gore-Tex Active. It’s the only material that’s legit breathable enough for us sweat hogs, but you’ll pay for it.
The Dirt Roamer Storm pants are pretty great too, so I’m guessing the jacket would have nice breathability too.

Review: Galfer Shark Disc Rotors
So… keep your regular rotors and buy better pads for less than 1/3 the price of these rotors.

Fox 36 E-optimized 160mm 29er, 44mm offset
$800 USDThis sweet fork was a take-off from a Norco Sight VLT after about 4 hours of riding, and only because I decided to build the bike with a 38. It’s in perfect condition with the exception of some scuffs on the right side decals from transport (pictured). Steerer is at 8 3/4”.
As for the “E-optimized” part of it, the CSU is a bit stiffer and has a larger crown, and the compression tune is a little lighter, but I see no reason it couldn’t be used on a regular bike.
I accept PayPal, Venmo, or Apple Cash for payment.

First Look: WTB's HTZ E-Bike Wheels Are Designed For Toughness, Not Lightness
@justinfoil: if anything it demolishes the argument that ebike specific components need to be beefed up THIS much, but an expert class rider is going to put more power to the wheels than Joe Schmoe soft pedaling up a climb with 250w of motor support.

They don’t. But they have an extra 30lb to carry and get more laps in for a given time and the wheels are exposed to more torque.
