First Ride: Michelin's Aggressive New Wild Enduro Tires
The Conti stuff is pretty good in the cold. All rubber gets harder in cold weather but Contis stay comparatively grippy.

First Ride: Maxxis Team Spec Aspen ST Tire
"for race use only" seems very appropriate in this case. It might not last much longer than a race or two, depending on terrain.

Review: 6 Months with the New DT Swiss 240 DEG Hubs
DT Hubs are extremely well regarded for their reliability, compatibility and easy of service. Tons of people would gladly take a DT hub over any I9 offering, even at the cost of a tiny bit of engagement frequency.

First Ride: Rocky Mountain's 2024 Altitude Has a Completely Revised Frame Design
Better than the uniform snot-green, pus-yellow or concrete-wall-grey that was all the rage in the industry for a few years.

First Ride: Forbidden Dreadnought V2 - More Travel & Longer Chainstays
Agreed. Not to forget that Transmission is also a lot heavier than the equivalent mechanical drivetrains (and the older AXS).

First Ride: Fox Releases New Grip X & Grip X2 Dampers
It’s also a bit of a weird comparison because RS and Fox are to some degree about taste.
Until there is a good comparison between X2 and Grip 2 in the same fork I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions

Police Called to Scott Sports Headquarters as CEO Dispute Continues
@joecrosby: So what’s the long term ROI of additional police? How does it compare with alternative investments in social security, education, substance abuse prevention or counselling?

Pinkbike Poll: Center Lock or 6-Bolt Brake Rotor Mounting?
@bishopsmike: CL saves a nontrivial amount of time at the factory. Replacing 12 torquing actions with 2 is great when it applies to tens of thousands of bikes being assembled.
For riders i don't think there is enough of a difference to matter.

@DylanH93: Ok, so people were dissatisfied with crime. Understandably so. But does more police in its current US implementation actually prevent crime? All statistics I know say they don’t. The main purpose of more police on the streets seems to be good intentions and nice feelings. What the professionals like to call security theatre.
What does prevent crime, and that has been proven out for at least a century in most societies and tons of studies, is social security and income equality.

@ATXZJ: Police spending in the US is really weird. Why do they have the budget for lots of officers and vast amounts of military equipment, but no money for any kind of decent qualification? Training and education programs appear to be almost nonexistent in many states.
