Win Any Ibis Bike for $5 and Support Santa Cruz Trails

Folks should put up $5 for every comment they posted on ebike articles yesterday and today. I guess I'm in for $5 for a good cause.

Why I’m Not Panicking About 1,500W E-Bikes (Yet)

@Muggsly: Different management/enforcement/jurisdiction. DuPont is a "State Recreational Forest," while all the districts of Pisgah - Ranger, Grandfather and Appalachian - are USFS. State gov. vs Federal.

First Look: The Nukeproof Tracker is Their New Budget Hardtail

@sfarnum: Some folks might be buying this bike for a younger rider and have spare and compatible Boost wheels in their stash. Some folks might be compelled to buy a set of wheels and know they can "take them with" on their next bike. Plenty of reasons why a different set of wheels might find their way on to this build... But the fact they're QR135 as confirmed by Jessie, pretty much locks the OEM wheels onto this build, so that "is what it is."

First Look: The Nukeproof Tracker is Their New Budget Hardtail

Curious if the bike is QR135, or QR141... at least 141 is a Boost "standard" and you could adapt certain high-end wheel options so you can upgrade wheels and keep 'em for a Boost thru-axle build.
