5 Things We Learned from the Crans Montana XC World Cup 2024
The course designers seem to have confused "high difficulty" with "high consequence" here. It would have been pretty easy to make the course difficult & technical without making it very high consequence. That rock drop section was just silly with that spine separating the A & B lines. That just didn't need to be there, even though they had it padded. The drop still would have been hard without it, but much safer.

Pinkbike Poll: Are XC Courses Getting Too Gnarly?
I don't think the Crans-Montana track is too gnarly, just poorly designed

First Ride: Specialized's New Chisel FS Cross-Country Bike - Aluminum Done Light
Love this. I am the head coach of a NICA team and anytime a kid asks what bike they should get I'm either going to point at this or the Chisel HT.

Bike Check: Laurie Greenland's Santa Cruz V10
@jacks0n0: The word earlier in the season was that there was a new Saint crank that used direct mount chainrings and came in shorter lengths.
But Shimano doesn't seem to care about high-end MTB anymore, so we'll have to see whether than trickles down to consumers.

First Ride: Deviate Claymore MX
I've been riding my 29 Claymore for a year and a half now. I love the bike and if I didn't just put a UDH 29" swingarm on the bike, I'd totally try the MX swingarm.

Review: Push SV Eight Coil Shock
@dmackyaheard: Totally agree about the new SD Ultimate Coil. I was sure that I would miss the tunability coming off a Float X2, but I definitely do not. And it's such a quiet shock.

Video: Welcome to Pinkbike's 2024 Value MTB Field Test
The inline video player continues to suck. Typically it's too small, so I'd rather watch it on YouTube. This one is too big (I'm not baller enough to have a 4k monitor), so I'd rather watch it on YouTube.
Excited for the field test, though!
