We Are One Composites - Bringing Carbon Manufacturing to Canada
@WeAreOne: great to hear. The angled wheel impact test is key also - wreaks havoc with the overall structure.

We Are One Composites - Bringing Carbon Manufacturing to Canada
@WeAreOne: are you guys doing any offset load testing? Rarely does a hit come straight down on a rim and contact both beads simultaneously. Testing one bead at a time or using a tapered anvil would make a lot of sense.

@WeAreOne: I think you meant " Fortunately, companies need to be more than just their products". This is a good thing so let's think about our community, environment and friends/neighbors.

Troy Lee Designs A2 Helmet - Review
I'm not a believer in the MIPS tech either. On top of that, it makes a helmet hotter than it should be by putting a clammy perforated sheet of plastic against your scalp.

Rose Pikes Peak - First Ride
@src248: you seem to be confused again.
Yes, i think an XL should have a reach of over 490mm. In fact, I prefer 500mm and I'm not crazy tall. It took a long time but Santa Cruz has finally figured it out. The N4, TB3 and HT are all great for tall riders (STAs are a bit slack though).
No, I would not buy the Slash or Patrol - I was just calling you out on your BS. But you will notice that both have higher stacks than the Rose which will make up for some reach.

Intense's 2018 Carbine - First Look
For all intents and purposes that red/blue combo is too intense for me!

@src248: you need to look at stack AND reach. If the stack is too low then you'll need a few spacers which reduces the effective reach. #bikegeo101

@src248: without even looking I know that you're wrong. The Trek Slash and Transition Patrol are both bigger when you look at reach and stack. The others are all tiny ho-hum big brand XLs that no tall rider would look at.
Then look at Santa Cruz, Kona, Orbea, Scott and a load of others using progressive geometry and your argument doesn't hold water.
