Canfield Lithium V3 Review: Long Travel Without the Lethargy
The good news is this bike has 165mm of rear travel. The bad news is the shorter travel options weight roughly the same amount.

First Ride: Manitou's Gen 2 Mezzer Fork is VERY Sensitive
@juicyjames: I was hoping the article would make some note of what is and isn't backwards compatible between the v1 Pro and the v2 Pro.

Weston Lukens Joins Frameworks with Custom 26" Bike
Interesting to think of the shared history between Whitely, Gwin and Mullaly, the diverging trajectory of their careers, and how they intersected again and again over the years. It's pretty rad that they are building such a fantastic team of raw talent centered around a frame that is relatively "low tech" - instead focusing their budgets on developing not only the racing skills and athletic careers of these young riders, but rewriting the playbook on how to make a successful racing team and company.

Kazimer's Randoms Part 1: China Cycle Show 2026
China is what the USA was 80s years ago. A surplus of manufacturing potential. They build stuff just to say they can, without really worrying too much if its profitable. The definition of prosperous, if you ignore the currency manipulation.

Allied Fitz Review: The XC Rider's Trail Bike?
@valrock: It's not really about "better". People are willing to pay more money for stuff manufactured by Americans. Not because we're patriotic, but because it often puts money into the hands of more of our neighbors. When you purchase a frame produced overseas, you might pay the salary of an engineer in Arkansas, maybe some marketing folks, maybe it's just one person doing design, marketing, engineering, warranties, shipping, receiving, testing, etc - and that's great - but some of the money goes into global shipping costs and then, just a tiny bit, goes to the worker who expertly built your frame (or made sure the robot did its job) in Vietnam. Now, I've got nothing against supporting my fellow human, even if on the opposite side of the globe; but if I'm paying $8k for a bike, I'd like some of that help put food on the table of the people in my community.

Allied Fitz Review: The XC Rider's Trail Bike?
@kashimadaddy: Allied didn't give him much to work with. It's not made in the USA anymore. It's light, but not the only light trail bike on the market. It's expensive, with no outstanding qualities. Let the brands build their own excitement but I don't think the journalists need to hype a bike that doesn't deserve it.

Allied Fitz Review: The XC Rider's Trail Bike?
I also can't help but think the Occam would be more durable as Orbea has been using the same manufacturers for years, where as Allied is relatively new to overseas production. Doesn't the Occam also use the same frame between the SL and LT? If so, I'd think it's actually a bit overbuilt in its 140mm setup.
