Lee McCormack's Guide to Bike Set-Up
For years, I've recorded the stack and reach of each of my bikes, along with notes on my perception of fit. I found that there was a "pocket" of space where the bike felt just right. This assumes that the seat tube angle and length allows positioning of the saddle in the correct position...the only time this was an issue was an extra slack ST angle created by over-forking a bike.
If the bars were Forward or Below the pocket, it felt too big.
Behind or Above, and it felt cramped.
Also noted the measured wheel weight distribution front to rear of each.
60/40 seemed the best for XC. 65/35 the best for descending....

Interview: Rebecca Rusch Takes Home Emmy Award for 'Blood Road'
Interesting... I watched it, and felt it was more a story about redemption and forgiveness. I told a story about the atrocities of war, and the human impact of it, from both sides. It showed the goodness of people on both sides. I guess it all about perspective.
The product placement in thee movie (not just Redbull) seemed out of place and kept it from being totally authentic, but I hate to say it...nobody was going to put produce this for free.
Rebecca seems to be a genuine and grateful person. All my indirect connections verify that. She's trying to reconcile the past and make the most of what's ahead...just like the rest of us. Any negative commentary regarding her directly is grossly misplaced.

Propain Announces Rage Carbon in 27.5” and 29”
I think it's time the industry switches from the Drive Side glamour shot, to the Non-Drive Side.
Drive trains are mostly all good now, and no longer the key selling feature. I want clear visual of what matters, what's going on with the frame?

Review: NX Eagle - SRAM's New Affordable 12-Speed Drivetrain
I found it interesting that the "Budget Friendly" GX group ended up only available on $4k-$6k bikes. I wonder where the NX group will fall.
