Industry Nine Expands S-Series Wheel Range
Can’t beat a set of Hunt Enduro wheels in my opinion. I have had my current set for ages and put well over 3k miles on them and they just keep trucking on. I have washed the grease out and re-greased them recently and they are back to spinning smooth after a few hard UK sloppy winters but I can’t fault them in anyway. I’ve had fancy DT carbon rims and just hated they way the felt in rocks but a good quality set of alloy wheels just seem less wild and not pinging off everything in their path. The Hunts are great value as well.

Video: Maxxis Introduces New MaxxSpeed Compound & Severe Tread Pattern
@HSLD: love that tyre! It’s the marmite of tyres though which people either love or hate. I have one for summer trail riding as it’s super fast rolling yet hooks corners well just don’t try and brake in a straight line with loose ground hahaha. I’m with you though it’s a great tyre.

First Look & Ride: Yeti's New SB135
Still riding a 2019 Canyon Spectral with 27.5” wheels and the bike is still as fun as the day I bought it and can’t see myself changing any time soon. It’s a 160/150 set up and pedals all day as well as a riot on the DH although it’s now 4 years old it’s the longest bike I have ever owned but keeps up with lads on full enduro 29ers. Just ride what you love people and what works for you.

Five Ten Launches The New Kestrel BOA
Had loads of FiveTen shoes only for the sole to fall off again and again as it seems to be the common issue and drove me insane so switched to Giro Ventana with boa dials and they are great. They are not the best in the winter as they let water pour in but that said it also doesn’t sit inside the shoe like my FiveTen’s did that just held water in like buckets. Set of waterproof socks and your gold.

Fox Announces New Float & Float SL Shocks
Clearly I’m just not down with the kids as I still use a 2019 DPX2 and apart from a seal going which then needed a service (possibly my fault for riding it after leaving out in freezing temp) it’s being spot on with no issues. I service the air can when needed and it does a mint job.

Garmin Launch Solar-Powered Edge 540 & Edge 840
I have a Garmin 530 and love it. I used to use my watch but the battery dies on longer rides where as the bar mounted devise lasts forever. You can pair it with a smart trainer as well to load rides for training etc.
to be fair I am keen for a bit of data but more just logging my rides and use the navigation for exploring new routes. The old version is not great and pan and zoom on the map as it’s a little clunky but does work. Stay clear of the expensive maps though as there is alternatives out there with excellent detail, as good as OS but make the device next level.
