First Look: Deity Releases New Stems, Grips, & Pedals
I'm simply happy to see that wrench flats aren't going away.
Pedals had to have very convincing features for me to overlook the missing wrench flats, like having a big pedal platform and not having the front of the pedal further away from the spindle.

So premium 8 speed? Was hoping to see trickle down to entry level price points.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: What Fenders Pinkbike's Editors Actually Use
MuckyNutz rear looks alright, and can remove the extension for fashion sake, leaving a part that protects the linkage area. Just beware that they are kinda noisy/flimsy for MTB use.
Only the Mudhugger one seems to be stout enough for full-out MTB without excessive floppiness/noisiness, but look a big pig-like. I had the V1, and I couldn't recommend them to others. I had to regularly replace zip-ties from them breaking/dying, from trying to hold that beast steady.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Value Product of the Year Winner
@dariodigiulio: did you interpret this wrong? "Shimano CUES U8000 is our premier 11-speed lineup that covers everything from Trekking to Urban riding."
Shimano CUES is one groupset for a wide variety of riding that includes MTB use.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Mountain Bike of the Year Nominees
Why are the saddles pointed down below the grips in most of the pics? Some long-legged tester was on 'em and then you guys just lowered the seatposts for the pics?

Review: BMB Reverse Raise Stem - The Stem That Wants to Change Mountain Biking
@piman: There's a defined convention though. For aircraft,
X is roll. Line drawn horizontally fore-aft. You cartwheel around this axis.
Y is pitch. Line drawn horizontally like wing span. You flip/roll around this axis.
Z is yaw. Line drawn vertically from below, thru center, and above. You twirl around this axis.
Machinist stuff is diff. X is horizontal side-to-side, Y is closer and further away, Z is elevation.
For other stuff, it's like a frame of reference where X is heading, Y is banking angle, Z is elevation.
Some X and Y mixups, but seems consistent that Z is up and down though. Don't ask where I got my name from.
