Vertical 6-Bike Rack Review: Thule Revert vs. Velocirax Max vs. Yakima HangTight
We pulled the trigger sight unseen on the Thule. Installing it was easy peasy. It has been rock solid. I don’t have a velocirax but it’s hard to imagine something being MORE stable. Also, we noticed the same two drawbacks: 1) pedal placement for the middle bikes needs to be intentional to access the lever easily. 2) it takes quite a bit of force to pull the rack down when it’s empty. Our solution is to let a child (or two) hang off of it, then pull the lever. Keeps kids occupied and makes it easier for the missus. 9/10 rating from me.

Pinkbike Poll: Are You a Brand Loyalist?
Not a particular brand loyalist (who am I kidding) but with 6+ bikes in the house it IS nice to keep brake fluid, suspension oil, brake pads, proprietary parts and tools to a minimum.

Enduro Bike Checks: The Setups That Win in Whistler
Interesting to see that Ellison is rocking what appears to be a race face era bar in spite of having access to all the roval catalogue.

Avinox's New M2S & M2 Motors: All the Details and Initial Impressions
12 different articles related to either the new avinox motor or bikes with the motor is a bit much. I get that it’s product launch day, but when new XTR or a fork drops, there’s not an article for every bike now offering that option.

Specialized Works with AliExpress & Chinese Law Enforcement to Seize Over $1.6 Million in Counterfeit Goods
Honestly I'm blown away.
$1.6M in specialized products = 50 bikes and 500 roval components.
$1.6M in "specialized" products from aliexpress = 500000 bikes and 50000000 components.
Dang.
