Review: Yakima's $849 StageTwo Hitch Rack
@likeittacky: Yes, it's an average of multiple bikes using math. I actually have no idea wtf you mean, if you mean that four 31+ lb bikes on the rack would stabilize it and reduce wear vs four bikes with an average of 25 lbs, I wouldn't agree. BTW, two of them are kids bikes.

Review: Yakima's $849 StageTwo Hitch Rack
The OneUp isn't perfect. With the two bike extension, ours makes pretty quick work of wearing out the main pivot and becoming a sloppy bounce machine. That's with an average bike weight of 25 lb.
Still overall happy enough with it to not find a different rack though.

Is that green Michelin in the Orbea pits a production item?

Q1 Reports Continue to Show Bike Boom Slowing for Garmin & MIPS; Shimano Stock Dips
I do a lot of long solo rides with no coverage and have one. I take it with pretty religiously in the winter, occasionally forget to take it in the summer. I feel much better when I have it along, it really doesn’t take much to leave you stranded, miles from help. A bad bonk can be enough to kill you when it’s 10 below zero F.

They don’t owe you a free story to help keep you safe, just like Garmin doesn’t owe you a free InReach to keep you safe, or Giro owe you a free helmet to keep you safe.

Field Test: Commencal Meta HT AM Ride - Big Tires & Big Fun
@MarcusBrody:
We’re on the same page. This test doesn’t show 27.5+ faster…but it certainly doesn’t show it as slower. And PB staff was pretty fair. Other test have shown it faster. It’s just such a common assumption that they are slow/sluggish, which simply has never been shown to be true. I ride both sizes, but I bet some people are missing out who aren’t going to try it.
I’m also bummed by disappearing tire options in 27.5+.

Intermittent comments early in the video about 27.5+ isn't going to be fast. Sets 2nd fastest time overall, and 2nd fastest on the climb.
Everybody keeps on this assumption. Even when test after test, timed testing shows 27.5+ equal to, or faster than 29 on the trail.
