Commencal Shares Details on the Updated Supreme DH V5.2 Downhill Frame
I remember when Commencal used to be a great deal and I got a last year's model Supreme on clearance in 2015 for $600 new straight from EU. and a Meta 29 for the same. i enjoyed my 2020 Meta AM just fine, but nawwww haha. aluminum frames that are more than $1500 without a shock are pushing into the unreasonable zone. nothing's changed in 15 years (or more) at this point besides a few geo numbers.

Canfield Lithium V3 Review: Long Travel Without the Lethargy
just to say it... I'm running a Mezzer Pro, Kitsuma Air, DT EX511, Onza Porcupines with no inserts, no dropper, and I think might touched below 34lbs.

Canfield Lithium V3 Review: Long Travel Without the Lethargy
@gticket: i went from a Meta to a 2 year ago Lithium. this is also my impression. climbs better, feels lighter, has way more playfulness. the Meta was a fine bike, but i like slighty shorter reach and i like short stays, and i like the higher stack as well. so far so good, i really like this bike.

13 Cool Jobs in the Mountain Bike Industry Right Now
unrelated but related... Cane Creek has some of the best customer service people I've ever talked to, I think ever. Too bad Asheville, like Colorado, is also now pricing out most jobs since COVID. maybe some of the smaller towns I dunno, but seems like good people to work with.

6D ATB-3: A $769 DH Helmet That Can Be Repaired After a Crash (Sometimes)
You can in fact, rebuild the airbags in your car after they go off. Or, "reset" them, assuming they weren't torn or slashed haha

Cube Issues Recall for "Suddenly Detaching" Pedal Insert on Carbon Crank Arms
i separated the insert from the carbon twice back in like 2011 or 2012, and they warrantied them twice, before i just gave up and sold the 3rd pair brand new. SRAM can go straight to hell haha.
