5 New SPD Trail & DH Pedals Tested: Can Anyone Beat Shimano?
Try the multi direction release cheese from shimano. I have had no issues with inconsistency nor retention.

Ibis Announces New Ripmo AF & Ripley AF Complete Bikes
I wish their “extra medium” was actually an extra medium. This sizing is the same as the first generation AF, except the extra medium is the old large, the new large is the old XL, and the new XL is truly an XXL. They added a size on at the end, not in the slot that the majority of their riders fit into. I liked my Ripmo AF a lot but was stuck in between sizes, top tube on the large was too long while seated and the medium was too cramped all around. Ultimately it’s what drew me away from the bike. I was hoping that would eventually change.

Spotted: Next-Generation RockShox Zeb Fork
Interesting. I could never get my Zeb to creak after a few creaky 38’s and Mezzer pro’s. But that was the older model Zeb ultimate.

First Ride: Orbea Rallon DH & Rallon EN
If only their warranty department functioned as well as this bike looks. The horror stories I’ve heard will keep me far away from Orbea. Which sucks because this thing looks amazing.

Hundreds of ARI Bikes Stolen in Transit from LA to Utah
@owl-X: Have you not seen all the videos of people stealing car loads of shit off trains in California? It’s not like this is an uncommon occurrence. I’d say it’s 4x more likely that a bunch of low life thieves broke the locks off train cars and stole everything than it is for a company to scheme up a plan that would cause them to go to prison if it didn’t work out.

Fox Teases Inverted Prototype Enduro Fork - Sea Otter 2025
@mtmc99: Fox uses to sell conversion kits for their punch axle forks to run either 15mm or 20mm. Since this is running the same pinch bolts on both legs, I’d be willing to bet they produce their conversion kit again.

Review: Haro Greer Alloy LTD 2
Except for $300 more Kona gets you a carbon frame, wireless drivetrain, carbon cranks, and comparable spec everywhere else. One of the two things you listed isn’t even on this bike. I’m not exactly sure what you want Kona to take note of here…..

21 Mountain Bikes We Predict Will be Updated in 2025
To be fair, Commencal screwed up with their naming of the newer bikes. It used to make sense: meta TR=trail bike with 140mm travel, meta AM= all mountain/enduro with 160mm of travel.
Now we have the Meta V5 with 150mm of travel that seems to be a “do it all” bike but is listed in their enduro category but replaced the Meta TR. Then you’ve got the Meta SX V5, which by the name would suggest that it’s just the mullet version of the Meta V5, right? Wrong. Mullet enduro with 165mm of travel.
I wish they would go back to the naming scheme that actually made sense.

First Look: Öhlins Unveils New RXF36 m.3 Trail Fork
@sjma: I would give my left nut for a non-creaking Mezzer pro. It was by far my favorite fork. But having to send it back to Manitou every 3-5 months for a creaking CSU got so old that I had to give it up. Made me very sad.

2024 Pinkbike Awards: Innovation of the Year Winner
@CM999: what? Even if the red pawl is at the point where it’s “instantly engaged”, that’s when the set deadband range starts. The red pawl resets with every click on the hub. So if anything, there will be times where there is a larger deadband than what is set.
