Pinkbike Poll: What Would You Upgrade On Your Current Mountain Bike?
I used to pine for upgrades but after getting smoked at my local enduro series by guys on objectively worse bikes I have been forced to realise the limiting factor isn't the bike.

Connor Fearon Wins Regional Enduro Race on a Hardtail
@rpet: The region hosting that race doesn't have huge elevation because it's one of the geologically oldest places on the entire planet. So they can either not do enduro races or have them in places that don't necessarily need an enduro bike. Given that it's a local series mainly for weekend warriors I think they have made the right choice.

Counterpoint: We Need Suspension Lockout Levers
".What Levy seems to be asking for is a bike that has high anti-squat going up the hill and low anti-squat coming back down and that sounds like either magic or marketing"
Or two chainrings up front...

X-Fusion Shox Announces H3C Shock & Coil Spring System
@kiksy: My experience with DIYmtb has been 100% positive. Don't know if they ship outside of Australia but they answer the phone and emails so worth asking.
