Trek Expands Suspension Services & Offers Free Demo Bikes at Select Retailers
@wheelforge: Awesome to see Aurum Suspension called out. Mike happens to be local to me and is a good dude who knows what he's doing. As a bike dork, he's a great bike nerd to know.

Interview: World Cup Brake Tech with TRP
I put Quadiems (sprung for the G-spec for bling) on a bike 4 years ago and they are absolutely the best brakes I've ever had. I like to mention this fact whenever I reasonably can because they're just so good.
In 4 years I've bled them maybe 3x (probably due...) and replaced pads a few times. Totally consistent, never felt like they 'needed' maintenance, I just know I ought to do it.

Value Field Test: Specialized Status 160
Easy to piss and moan about NX, but for $3k (let alone the $2250 sale price!) this is a steal if your local trail system and personal ride preferences align with it reasonably well.

First Look: Pole Bicycles' Four New Long-Travel Models
Not beautiful, but surprisingly nicely priced. Build kit specifics aren't available yet, but for under $5k for the trail-non e-bike it could be appealing. Just not visually appealing.

Tech Randoms Part II: Lenzerheide DH World Cup 2023
yeah I was scrolling for info on this too...guess it makes sense to just burn off oil, but I'd think that leaves residue. Surely isopropyl is easier?

Pinkbike Poll: Are You Satisfied With Your Brakes?
TRP genuinely suffer from none of these issues. I have Quadiems from 2019 and I've used Slates as well. The stock pads are fine, Shimano pads are even better, but they really shine with nicer aftermarket pads. That's the only possible gripe I can come up with. They are simply terrific.

@bman33: shhhh, don't give them any ideas or it'll be $15 for #1 and $35 to drop a #2. Season passes include 10 free restroom visits, blackout dates apply.
