DT Swiss Releases Limited Edition FR 1500 Classic Silver Wheelset
Recently got a wheelset that came with a surprise DEG DF upgrade. I think 0 - 10 - 20 is too much float. 20 feels genuinely broken, and 10 is too much on, at least my, trail bike. I'd like an insert that slips in and limits the 20 position to 5 to try. Or maybe, pedal kickback isn't such a big deal on most bikes.

Specialized Releases $550 S-Works Recon EVO XC Shoe
@mkul7r4: I started wearing lems, I was blown away I wear a shoe half a size down from everything I've worn since I was 18 because they actually fit my foot, and I don't have to oversize the shoe to compensate.
Also honorable mention to Keen boots.

HotBars Introduces the World’s First Heated Bicycle Handlebar
I've got arthritis and raynaud's. I don't really like pogies, though use some thin neoprene ones, and like thin gloves to retain bar / control feel. I shove disposable hand heaters into my bar ends as far as they'll go now, my chainsaw has heated grips, as does my ATV.
For those griping, know that this product is likely a game changer for some of us.
I'd like to see the assembly, as I don't want to swap my bars, but would love the battery pack, wiring harness and heating elements. I use a OneUp and don't want to give that bar up.

Knolly Bikes Enters Receivership & Evaluates Restructuring
I love my Chilcotin, and Superboost is a better standard, but it doesn't mean it makes sense when the whole industry isn't moving that way.
Knolly and the Superboost brands are right in it being superior, but they still made the wrong choice.

Stan's Introduces Motorized 20-Liter Sealant Keg
@motdrawde: I've tried mucoff sealant, bike cleaner, and chain lube, and the only product I was happy with was the cleaner.

Industry Nine's V2 Alloy Rims are Designed to Fight Pinch Flats & Burping
I got an Enduro S wheelset, came down slightly nose heavy (not bad really) from about 6 feet on a 180mm Zeb, and a nipple pulled through the front rim. 3rd ride (first was an XC new bike shakedown) second was a regular trail ride, third was a park day.
They were new takeoffs, so no warranty. Not going with i9 next time.

The New Allied Fitz Puts the "Light" Back Into Light Trail
My 2023 Norco Optic is 30lbs on the nose with pedals and a GX / Select+ build. I added a oneup bar, renthal stem, and SM Pro saddle that cut weight, added a fender and heavier tires. It's got an aluminum rear triangle and the DT350/FlowS2 wheelset that came on it still. Bikes don't need to be so heavy.

Choosing Our Favorite (And Least Favorite) Trail Bikes & E-Bikes - Field Test Roundtable
@mikekazimer: Maybe a round up of all the bikes of the year and how they've aged. In 2020 I saw the 2019 Optic won the bike of the year, and set my sites on it. Eventually got one, and all these years later I feel it still holds up. It would be cool to see how all these bikes have held up through time as being progressive is a big part of what made these bikes successful.

Öhlins Releases Coil Conversion Kit for RXF.36 m
I have an RXF36 M.2 air on my hardtail and I find that it resists bottom out and rides higher than a 3.0 pike, 2.1 zeb, and '21 performance elite 36, by quite a bit. Not sure how similar the character is with the coil but I think overall that's what Ohlins aims for.
