First Look: Last Bikes Glen and Coal - One Platform, Two Bikes
Damn the Coal is such a sexy piece of metal. But it's not just the good looks. I'm seriously impressed that they got a level 5 rating from EFBE at only 3,1 kg of weight. Impressively light for that level of stength. Achieved via the virtues of superior engineering I guess. Great to see what's possible when a bike company is run by engineers instead of accountants and marketing people.

Don't we all? Especially the raw, unpainted ones :)

Review: 2023 Transition Smuggler - The Little Ripper
@TranceAllez: You're absolutely correct, carbon doesn't warrant a $3000 upcharge. Actually, purely from a manufacturing perspective, carbon doesn't really warrant any significant upcharge.
The fact that people think that carbon is a "superior" material and are subsequently ready to pay more for carbon is mainly based on gaslight marketing and nonsensical performance buzzwords.

It Looks Like 'Snow Biking' Could Earn a Rainbow Jersey & UCI Ranking Points in 2024
The UCI continues to bastardize the sport of mountainbiking. They are so incredibly out of touch.

7 Takeaways from the UCI's 2024 Rule Changes
@torontomtb: That's the really embarassing part, isn't it? Not enough that the UCI keeps bastardizing the sport. No, there will be "athletes" with such little sense of self respect that they will actually participate in this nonsense.

State Bicycle Co Release Affordable Entry-Level Fat Bike
@valrock: Only if you don't clamp it tight enough...
Skewers are absolutely not designed to take a radial load, but a thru-axle isn't either. A hollow 12mm tube made from mild aluminium could definitley not withstand the forces from bottoming out the suspension on a heavy landing. It would shear off (or permanently deform at the very least).

From an engineering point of view there's absolutely nothing wrong with QR.
Fun fact for nerds: The thru-"axle" in 148 boost hubs isn't even technically an axle anyways. It's a draw bolt with the sole purpose of providing clamping force between the dropouts and the hub-axles. The thru-"axle" itself doesn't see any radial load. And a QR skewer can do the same job just fine.

Video: In Search of Freeride Spirit in 'Tur De Gnar'
Fantastic! This should have honestly been titled a "must watch". Up there with the best mtb videos I've seen this year.
