Intend Teases WonderNipple Concept
I last broke a spoke in 2013. I remember because it broke while I was just warming up riding the road before a race. Didn't even have time to fix it before the start. So I remember, but it's certainly not every few seasons. Especially after going to carbon rims.

The New Ibis Ripley SL: Short Travel, Impressive Weight, US-Made
@MikerJ: Agreed. Besides looking in the door the first time, I've never opened the in-frame storage on my Stumpjumper. I realized I don't even remember if I've put anything in there. The included multi-tool that slots in the bottom of the bottle cage I've used a few times, but that's not in the frame. I'd be fine with dropping in-frame storage.

What Sport Would You Do if Mountain Biking Didn't Exist?
Whitewater SUP scratches a similar itch. Picking a line down a Class 3, or even a class 2 can feel like navigating singletrack. Especially a good current around a tight corner can feel like riding a berm. You also have drops off little waterfalls. The falls into water instead of rocks and cactus are nice. Still good to wear knee pads. I use my biking ones.

First Look: Giant's 2026 Anthem & Anthem X Get a Speed-Focused Overhaul
Eh, refreshed the bike to modern geometry so it can compete in the market. Nothing game-changing. $8kUSD for GX? No thanks. Headset cable routing, also a big no thanks. They may have beat Specialized in frame stiffness, but they're losing in value, and unneeded complexity.

What’s the Most Compliant MTB Handlebar? [Updated With SQ Lab]
I just want to thank you for saying damping. Keith Bontrager would approve. Dampening is the ability to moisten something.

SRAM Reveals Limited Edition 1987 Groupset
Seriously, and named 1987? An AXS GripShift would have really set this off.
