First Ride: Aventon Launches Current LTD, a High-Spec Take on Their First eMTB
@phops: No dog in this fight - what is the overall data? Do we have a real % warranty rate for Canyon, from either the company or surveys? All I ever see are anecdotes (positive and negative).

How Much Do 2026 World Cup Downhill Bikes Really Weigh?
The Atherton is really an A.200.G, right? The A.200 is the derailleur bike.

CADEX Releases $4,000 Bonded Carbon Spoke Max XC Wheelset
This is a perfect example of why we're moving away from bonded carbon spokes across the board. No weight savings over conventional carbon spokes or Dyneema, extreme expense, and of course the repair (or disposal) implications. Can't deny they look sick though.

Spotted: Shimano's New Saint Brakes Look Production-Ready
When I was shopping for my first aftermarket set of hydraulic brakes, I was sure I needed open-top calipers, for replacing my pads with ease. But 15 years later - I'm not sure I ever pull the pads WITHOUT removing the wheel anyway. How else am I supposed to push the pistons back?

@lennartkung: Seems like that would limit the size of both bottles - they'd be pointing into the same space, at least on the smaller sizes. The main cage is pretty high on the downtube due to the hatch below.

I would bet real money that Specialized releases a 130-140mm bike next year. This is the hottest category short of Avinox e-bikes, and yet the Epic 9 killed off the Evo? There's just no way. They're not that shortsighted. Fingers crossed they call it a Camber.

Yeah, what could have been... that would have really helped its (thin) credentials as a "downcountry" bike. Frustrating if they removed the feature just to differentiate it from the RC and I can't imagine any other reason.
