Video: 'Pink It & Shrink It' - Why Don't More Brands Make Women's Specific Bikes?

Yeah I mostly agree with you. I think where there needs to be more clarity is on proportional differences. In terms of a man and women of equal height will have different proportions in terms of leg v trunk ratio wingspan etc. Basically something like norco ride align add a few measurements and get a correct fit on a bike.

Grow up. If you don't like ebikes don't ride one it's that simple. It doesn't destroy anything. More than anything no one person defines mountain biking for anyone else. Get out have some fun, it's all very subjective what your fun is versus what anyone else's fun is.

Reserve's New Aluminum Wheels Come With a Lifetime Warranty

So lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects isn't actually that great. It's a legal requirement for 2 to 5 years depending where in Europe you are. So that'll cover 90% of original owners lifecycle of the product. The crash replacement policy is nice but I can buy a ex511 of €70. There is value is Santa Cruz covers the cost of the rebuild but as it stands I really proven reliable rim is half the price what's the upside??

Review: Park Tool DAG 2.2 vs Coherny Derailleur Hanger Gauge Tool

I've long since figured out that there's no point buying cheap tools, cause while someone with skill can use cheap tools well I need all the help I can get

Norco Restarts Factory DH Race Team for 2023

@Mtn-Goat-13: just to play devil's advocate, but maybe they cancelled their teams because of all the crap that UCI was pulling with the switch to discovery channel. Team fees are approx 10 times higher, less races and those races will be behind a pay wall. I've no idea if this is the case but the manner UCI has managed this transition and particularly the way the athletes and teams have been treated has been pretty bad
