Mechanics Petition for Durability Standards & Repairable Budget Bikes
Great idea.
Amongst other goods, I'd love to see this in household appliances. As of right now, even most of the expensive brands plan to have their stuff fail in 5-10 years so their clients will be forced to buy new stuff. It disgusting, really.

One of the many benefits of producing 2 million barrels of oil per day but with a population of 5.5 million.

Qualifying Results from the Snowshoe World Cup DH #2 2021
Agreed. They have done a lot for the sport but the fact that they have monopolized these events kind of sucks for the fans. I remember when they wouldn't let Castro film anything a couple seasons ago.
It would be awesome if they expanded their coverage - even if they charged a couple $ to view the "extended" coverage of the event, I'd pay.

Day 2 Randoms - Eurobike 2021
So Shimano just came out with (September 1st) a new Dura Ace (XTR equivalent on road side) groupset and it's wirless + 12sp. The groupset has an app and everything like SRAM AXS but in the case of the Dura Ace groupset, the battery pack (in seat post) + rear and front mechs were connected with a wire. So maybe not totally wireless?
I imagine wireless XTR is not far off. Knowing how slow Shimano does stuff and with covid, "not far off" could be a year but hopefully not. I though it was interesting that the new Dura Ace is wireless only - they don't even have a cable-driven version for those who want it. At least they don't at this point.
I'm guessing there was no wireless XTR sneak peaks at Eurobike but hopefully Shimano gets this to market sooner than later.

Tested: How Much Slower Are Idler Bikes For Climbing?
@xy9ine: that makes sense. Will be interesting to see if Forbidden embraces that thinking.

The real question is... can you spend $2,000 on ceramic bearings in the idler, hubs, pulley wheels, and BB to overcome that 2%?
If PB gives me the money, I can do the test.
