The Yeti ASR Lunch Ride: Do Meatier Tires & A Longer Fork Make Sense?
@CamNeelyCantWheelie: This is what I run on my ASR right now, great combo. Rolls fast and the front has enough knobs to hold on when pushing harder than most XC tires want to go.

The Yeti ASR Lunch Ride: Do Meatier Tires & A Longer Fork Make Sense?
@schu2470: The XTR 9120 4 piston brakes fit, it's the new larger 9220 that don't. Rear triangle and clearances were designed and locked prior to Shimano updating their caliper design. I have the 9120's on my ASR and no issues clearance wise.

Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Night Riding Lights
While Mike Kazmir is old enough to have used NiMh batteries some of us were night riding in the prehistoric lead-acid days. I had a purple anodized lead-acid powered Cygolite dual filament bulb setup that lasted maybe an hour, weighed a ton, and barely beat out a couple of candles when it came to light output. Trail riding that was pretty spicy! Today's lights are so much better than what we used to use, thankfully. Timely article, just did the first night ride of the season this week using much more modern equipment.

Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Mountain Bike Helmets
The Lazer Jackal is by far the best for ventilation that I've tried and is my daily-driver. 2nd for me is the Fox Speedframe RS which feels great but is a bit heavier and does not breath as well. Usually used on bigger back-country rides or ones with more exposure. After that the Smith Forefront 2 and Giro Montaro are fine but usually end up sitting on a shelf. Yes I have a lot of helmets including some older stuff like a POC Tectal Race and MET Parachute MCR.

First Look: Moots Updates the Womble Titanium Hardtail
@jonemyers: I had a 90's Ti Kona Hei Hei and compared to the Easton taperwall Kona AA I also had at the time it was indeed flexier. Super awesome bike but the aluminum one was just a better bike to push hard. Sold 'em both for a carbon full-suspension bike that I don't reminisce about at all.

Amflow's €3,499 TL Carbon Could Be the E-Bike the Industry Didn't Know It Needed
Reminds me of this great, very prescient editorial from the great RC that's now 10 years old - https://www.pinkbike.com/u/RichardCunningham/blog/history-and-deception-opinion.html

Shimano Reinvents Deore Group With New Brakes & Cable-Actuated Drivetrain
@gnaralized: I think you are giving SX too much credit to try and compare it to SLX or even Deore, the entry level stuff from SRAM really is few steps worse than the entry level Shimano stuff has been.

Graves had a lot of trouble keeping air in those Specialized tires IIRC, regardless of model.

First Ride: The 2027 RockShox Zeb and Lyrik Add Features, Weight
@KJP1230: I think you and I both said "woof" in regards to weight so he's assuming we're the same person? Just goes to show that RS missed the boat a bit here.
