Reserve Announces New 32" XC Wheels
PON owns Cannondale. With the Blur 5 and Tallboy 6 coming out yesterday (sarcasm) I wouldn't expect to see them launch a bike anytime soon that fit with this wheelset.

Totally is possible.
Super extra light tires/wheels offset the heavy post.

Revel Welcomes Karen Jarchow & Gordon Wadsworth
If you ever need to throw Gordon off his game, ask him about the time he watched me eat a pie with no hands at the end of awards night at Pisgah Stage Race.

RockShox's Reverb AXS XPLR Dropper is For More Than Just Gravel
With drop bars, you have two shifters that can perform 3 commands. left = 1, right = 1, both at once = 1. If you are running 1X with dropper, you can shift up/down by using a shifter and use the both shifter command to actuate the post. This is the command generally used for front der shift. I am assuming not many people will be running both derailleurs and a dropper post. If they are, they can use the Paul 31.8 bar clamp that can be used to hang an MMX compatible item from the bar to add in the 4th command needed.

Bike Check: Hannah Bergemann's Transition Sentinel
The setup guide has always been for preventing harsh bottom outs during the most gorilla fisted bonehead move you can imagine. I am close to her weight and have ran (supported by shockwiz) similar pressures.....I just didn't need as many tokens.
