Head to Head: 2026 Santa Cruz Tallboy vs. 2020 Norco Optic
had one in black that i regretted selling so much i ended up pestering the guy who bought it who stopped replying to me in the end (fair) such a capable bike that you can build in so many different ways

Wolf Tooth Introduces New Performance Series Pedals
Im curious if people think you get more grip with "threaded" pins rather than the straight pins that these guys use. I feel the threaded surface bites into the shoe more than just a straight pin. I felt way more grip with tmacs vs specialized boomslang pedals (love the boomslangs) and a attributed it to the pins and concavity.

Pinkbike Poll: Would You Buy A 32" Wheel Bike?
100% and well said. A good alloy/carbon frame with solid geo, 12 speed mechanical, good brakes, good suspension, tires even from 4 years ago seems to be the peak bike. Not seeing much in the last 3 years that really has swayed me. If anything we seem to be going backwards (headset cable routing, electronic tidal wave of batteries, removing clutches)

Shimano Reinvents Deore Group With New Brakes & Cable-Actuated Drivetrain
@vitaflo: right but now no friction clutch on the higher end, which apparently has lead to chain slap

Shimano Reinvents Deore Group With New Brakes & Cable-Actuated Drivetrain
currently run slx on all my bikes, hopefully theres enough backstock for me to keep buying replacements for a while. i hoped shimano would keep producing the existing slx/xt cable variants. Real shame to drop the high performance cable options, im still not sure what the electric stuff brings to the table
