Precision technician and MTB fan. I ride XC and a bit all mountain when i have the chance to do so. mostly in the evenings before sunset and in the weekends.

First Look: Hope's New Pro 5 Hubs
@clkwrk: I ordered my Pro4 wheelset in september last year. havent ridden my bike since then because of injury. But dont feel bad about it. if these pro5s would never have existed you would be perfectly happy with your pro4s.

Mountain Bikes Don’t Need to Be Complicated: 5 Places Where Less is More
Come to think of it. What is the actual benefit of internal cable routing?
On a road bikes they say its more aero and so on. but on a mtb to my understanding aero isnt such a big deal anyways. Full external cable routing is in fact very easy to work with.

A Deeper Look at SRAM's Patent Application For a Wireless Automatic Suspension Controller
I wouldnt mind the batteries really. there are a few other things to think about.
1. price, everything with a battery for bikes is stupidly expensive. those AXS sets, the wireless dropper you name it. theyre making BIG money off you.
If anything breaks you can forget cheap repairs as well. no cheap deraillers anymore. you have to buy the electric one. and they all cost a fortune.
2. standards. this isnt a problem today regarding batteries. but i bet in a few years there will be more groupsets etc in the market. I seriously question if old batteries will fit new components. knowing the bike industry by now. this isnt unlikely.
