First Look: Reeb's New Steel Enduro Racer is Partly 3D-Printed
I wondered why the Sqweeb suddenly vanished from their website. This new rig looks good at first glance! I'd take a hard look at one of these if I need a longer travel bike than I currently have, especially since they're offering Ohlins suspension as an option.

Patent Round-up: Shimano's Crazy Derailleur, Electronic Shifter & SRAM's Floating Brakes
@DirtCrab: I forget the details and don't have time to look them up right now, but there is a thumb shifter assembly available for Pinion gearboxes so you can ditch the twist shift. I'm interested in Zerodes, too.

Video: Miranda Miller Explores the MTB Culture in Japan
I’ve been wondering what the scene is like in Japan, so it was really interesting to watch this. I’d love to ride there some day. Loading a Yeti on a Shinkansen to go ride would be a highlight.

Short or Long-Travel: Which Is The Best All-Round MTB?
I discovered the same thing for myself this riding season. Overall trail speed really comes down to the tires. While Maxxis DHF/Dissectors in EXO+ feel really grippy, I couldn't set PRs on anything I rode that involved climbing or extended time on flat ground. When I put Vittoria Mezcals on, I was beating PRs I'd previously set on a bike that had 10mm less travel, weighed 4 pounds less, and had Maxxis Rekon Races on it.
It's been a really satisfying discovery. I no longer feel like I'm missing out on significant speed on the buffed out stuff I ride often, and I feel a lot more confident charging rough sections. I've gone as far as to set up two sets of wheels. The "XC" set with the Mezcals, and the "Enduro" set with the DHF/Dissectors and ridiculously overbuilt wheels.

My favorite part of this story is the final image where dude is sending it over some roots. With the seat up.
