Review: Akta's Trail Apparel & Protection Line
@gbeaks33: I got similar dimensions. I watched a bunch of cathro's videos until I saw one of him wearing riding trousers that were long enough. At the time he was sponsored by leatt (which I know to be too short) but in the video he was trail building in a pair of enduras. I got a singletrack 1 and singletrack 2 from them and they're long enough! And well priced! Other than the hole I put in the knee of the 2's within a few rides they've been fine. 7.5/10 would recommend to a stranger on the internet

Classified & Hunt Announce Proven Carbon Race XC Wheelset
@timlake: not to mention the instant shift between high and low range (I cant remember if you can do it under power or not) which is great for when you totally overestimated the gear you needed for something instead of crunching through 3-4 gears, which modern drivetrains can do, but this will do faster

12 World Cup Riders' Race Bikes from the British National DH at Rheola
the pros can find grip in ways us mortals can only dream... or because theyre braking so much less they need less grip. i dont really know how it works, what i do is barely the same sport as these guys

Head to Head Review: 2023 RockShox Zeb vs Fox 38
@powderhoundbrr: he's only right if you set the mezzer up correctly. I've got a mezzer pro and I adore it, but I have zero doubts that a zeb is easier to set up to the point of it being better than a mezzer if you don't take the time to learn the mezzer and find the Google sheets document of the owners setup recommendations because the manufacturer setup recommendations are for rampage

First Ride: Rotwild's R.X275 Downcountry eMTB Flies Under the Radar
what i like about bikes like this, is the days when youve only got time for a 1 hour ride. want to do a quick blast after work? this will feel basically like a normal bike (its lighter than my bike, by a lot...) hop on something like this and it adds an extra descent or two into the short time slot youve got.
its on the bigger rides that bikes like this begin to fall apart for me logically
