First Ride: The Shuvl eMTB Can Work With Any Motor, But at What Cost?

Agreed, it's ugly as shit, but doesn't look any worse than a Haibike from a few years ago. And unlike almost every other eBike it doesn't have that bottom bracket beer belly

Looks like the Grim Donut, but if the guys from Loam Ranger made it

First Ride: Rossignol's After Hours eMTB is Welded By Robots and Designed for Durability

Bike industry in a slump? Clearly we need another ski company offering a bike. (Although I wouldn't be mad about a K2 push shock bike updated to modern standards.)

Seekrun Launches the $230 S7 Wireless Dropper Post in Canada

This sounds perfect for my gravel bike, which otherwise forces me to route the cable through the bottom bracket.

e*thirteen Launches New Grappler Tire Lineup Including Radial Options

Assegais have intermediates, these are just boring DHF/R knockoffs.

e*thirteen Launches New Grappler Tire Lineup Including Radial Options

I like that there is more radial experimentation, but disappointed that e*13 has stuck with Cheng Shin DHF/R knockoffs. If you're gonna copy Maxxis, at least give us an Assegai, Forekaster, or Aggressor copy.

Reader Story: One Rider’s 3D-Printed Stainless Steel Solution for Brake Lever Ergonomics

The lever on my Maguras just feels good, but kudos to SRAM for making their control surfaces a bit easier to service/swap. I hate that it is especially impossible to match shifter and dropper levers on SRAM and Shimano. Control surface upgrades should have been available and easy to install 25 years ago.

Schwalbe Reveals New Romy Tire, UltraSoft Compound & Radial Tacky Chan

My first thought. The tread pattern is that slightly-less-death-channel-than-DHF like the Eliminator, Kenda Hellkat, and to some extent Magic Mary have.

Schwalbe Reveals New Romy Tire, UltraSoft Compound & Radial Tacky Chan

I dislike that they appear to have DHF'd my Hans Dampf, (Essentially introducing my most hated tread pattern as a replacement for my favorite.) But it might work well as a rear paired with something else up front, (Maybe an Albert?) The weight of those radials is hard to take, but I will likely give them a try.
