How Much Have Olympic-Winning Mountain Bikes Evolved In the Past 28 Years?
@deanw: disagree. With the right pads and setup V's were pretty good in the wet.

I personally loved Grip Shift. If Shimano did a modern Grip Shift I'd 100% buy it.

I miss V-brakes. For something so simple they could be incredibly powerful and to this day would outperform some low end discs.

Henry's Waffle House: Bike Brands Need to Get A Grip
Yep, long dropper posts are compensation for bad riders. I'm 6'5", and a 150-180 post is more than enough.

@nateb: better than listening to Warner over hype everything. No one loves the sound of his own voice more than Rob Warner.

First Look: The 2025 Geometron G1 is More Adjustable & More Proportional
All I would say is don't get caught up on the reach numbers, ride what you find comfortable and faster. Being tall doesn't mean you should be on some crazy 500+ reach. Try different sizes, don't just go by what's suggested.
I'm 6'5", long legs/arms, and my trail/enduro bike is 485mm reach which for me is perfect. I previously had longer (530mm) as was following the trend but found it incredibly uncomfortable and slower overall so downsized.

Pinkbike Poll: What Do You Look For In a Clipless Pedal?
Still using DX's on all my bikes, have a few sets spare just in case. Best pedal I've ever used, last forever and it the cage breaks you can just replace them. Shimano still carry spares.
