Video: French Mountain Biker Goes Viral After Almost Crashing into A Group of Students
What an asshole. He clearly has no concerns about putting anyone else in danger, as long as he gets good footage for his youtube channel. Jerk.

First Look: DT Swiss' New Ratchet EXP Hub Design
@bikelust: how would you have a clue what is in my riding pack? I have been running DT Swiss hubs for years. Recently I managed to strip the teeth on a star ratchet. First time it ever happened to me. I quickly stripped the freehub apart on the trail side and installed the spare ratchet from my pack. This required no tools whatsoever. Best hub ever in my opinion.

Counterpoint: We Need Suspension Lockout Levers
I really like Knolly's approach. They minimize the anti-squat to keep the suspension active during pedalling/climbing. This really helps keep the wheels glued to the ground on technical climbs. You can always turn on the climb switch on smooth climbs, but you can't turn off the anti-squat built into the geometry!

First Look: DT Swiss' New Ratchet EXP Hub Design
Anyone else notice that in the diagram above the new in-hub ratchet design shows the bearings more inboard? I guess everyone is too busy whining about the price.

How is this hydraulic system in any way better than a mechanical cable? The hydraulic system is far more complex, and therefore less reliable than simple mechanical cable.
