Henry's Waffle House: Bike Brands Need to Get A Grip
Agreed. A crappy wheelset can really diminish the overall experience of a new bike. Tires I think are assumed to be selected based off of the locations you ride, so it may be harder to spec the perfect tire for everyone, but a shitty wheelset is inexcusable these days IMO.

Welcome to the 2024 Downhill Field Test
@aaronlelevier: I like to shuttle Double Peak with my DH bike. There are some other hidden gems that are in the North County area.

Value Field Test: Giant Stance - A Great Leap Forward
I'm worried that the bulge in the seat tube is going to keep this frame from being able to run larger diameter shocks. Otherwise I think this is a great entry level/ new rider specced bike. Well done.

Spotted: Prototype 2-Piston TRP Brakes & Electronic Ohlins Shock - Nove Mesto XC World Cup 2024
Unfortunately, the brake lever clamp is still integrated into the body of the lever. I was hoping they would do away with the built in clamp, but it didn't happen.

Value Field Test: Devinci Kobain - Hardtail Nirvana
The looks might be a shotgun blast to the face, but there's something in the way of it angles that I still like.

First Look: Vittoria's New Mostro Enduro Race Tire
I have found that Vittoria sizes are on the small side. My E-Barzo 29x2.6 measured out at 2.45 and my Martello 29x2.4 measured out at just above 2.3. Not complaining, just wondering why.

Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum
Why is it a Con that Race Face only supports their own chainring mount on their product? Does Sram make transmission chainrings for Race Face cranks? I honestly find it silly that you would spin that as a con when almost no other player in this game offers support for other companies cranks.
