Industry Digest: More Porsche Investments, Airbag Shorts & More
@gcrider: I've actually read that the placebo effect is why this tape mostly works at all. Thinking it will work actually makes you feel better. Mind over matter?

Loana Lecomte, Jordan Sarrou & Lars Forster Fined for Rule Breaches at the Nove Mesto XC World Cup
i thought it was gonna be for fake TT/aero bars position, aka "puppy paws", that the UCI so famously outlawed along with the super tuck. There were countless riders doing it on the paved finish straight. Oh the horror.... it was so dangerous!!!

Burning Question: How Much Do Water Bottles Influence Frame Design?
@nojzilla: @nojzilla: MOST riders want, need, and carry water on all rides. Its pointless to think of the bike and the rider as separate in this case. I get that changing kinematics and handling characteristics of the bike to fit a bottle shouldn't take priority but a lot of you are missing the fact that the bike cant ride itself. "Stop being a wuss dnd just wear a pack because i care about suspension kinematics and handling more than i do carrying water..." is so shortsighted and actually wrong. Raising your center of gravity and putting it onto a pack that isnt rigidly fixed to your body DO largely effect how the suspension and bike handles - and its not in a good way. It screams you know nothing about vehicle dynamics and/or are likely slow. Personally id rather ride with a fixed seat post over a dropper post and a hydration pack because i KNOW its slower and in less control. But dont tell me to man up at the cost of speed and performance. If needed, I stache bottles in loops. plan my route around refills, or just go longer without hydrating when i run out. Hell sometimes i dont even care to pack tools or spares if my route/timing allows it. If i flat or break my bike im limping and/or walking out. Maybe you ought to "man up". There is a reason no pros are riding with packs anymore - its more comfortable AND FASTER. Furthermore, i think it hilarious how the majority of riders i see/know go above and beyond for their bike- its set up, components, tech, and are such snobs about it but never work on the most important component that makes riding fun and fast - The rider's fitness.

First Look: The Digit Datum Has Shock Strut Suspension
I rode it and its amazing! Still not sure if its one thing in particular - the rear end design or the mullet set up, but it just works. Tim really knows his stuff and it shows in this bike. The thing just rolls and holds speed amazingly well. The frame feels very stable & stiff very nimble and snappy. Small bump sensitivity felt really nice, but it can handle the chunder at high speeds no problem. I did not feel undergunned once for how well this bike pedals and climbs. Being able to fit 2 bottles is awesome too.
