First Look: Ratio Technology's New Direct-Mount Mechanical Derailleur
@ReformedRoadie: Exactly. But with coaxially mounted derailleurs you are not snapping the frame or even bending it. They are mounted using the through-axle. The mech will absolutely fail long before it does any damage to the frame.

Photo Report: Incredible Vintage Mountain Bikes at the Malverns Classic
I may never want to ride one of those again. But that was like walking through my childhood dreamscape of bikes.

Video: A Mesmerizing Look at Slopestyle Decoded at 1000 FPS
Yep, when I saw "decoded" I thought, oh cool I can see all the little movements and actions that these athletes are doing.
Nope, I get to see 1/3 of a trick then fade to the next one. Less "decoded" and more "extrapolate the rest for yourself".
Cool video in a way, but not what I was hoping for.

SRAM Announces Cable-Actuated to Wireless Transmission Upgrade Kit
Honestly haven ridden an XO T-Type last summer all summer on my trail bike and XT mechanical on my Enduro bike. Transmission is a solution looking for a problem. I don't have many mis-shifts on my mechanical derailleurs. But I do hate having to charge my fucking derailleur every month or so.

Field Test: Rocky Mountain Instinct - Geometry Vs. Suspension?
@vonroder77: Suspension should bottom out occasionally when ridden at high rates over rough terrain. That allows the wheels to stay planted over the widest range of surface irregularities. Now, should it do so on every run? No. But if you're going at full speed down a rough trail then yes, it absolutely should use full travel. Every off-road vehicle I've ever owned will quite readily use all of its travel at full speed.

Video: Are Mass Dampers Here to Stay? | Mont-Sainte-Anne DH World Cup 2024
@uponcripplecreek: Nope, good old fashioned dual slalom. 4x is good too, but there was something special about the head-to-head nature of dual slalom that got some epic action going on.

Video: Are Mass Dampers Here to Stay? | Mont-Sainte-Anne DH World Cup 2024
@mattg95: I'm shocked at the decline of dual slalom to be honest. In the age of 30 second video clips and mass media consumption it offered the most concentrated action/crashes of any downhill discipline.

First Ride: e*thirteen's Sidekick Hub Elegantly Isolates Suspension Movement
This is actually one of the better ways I've seen to address this particular issue. Even as a rider of an i9 hydra, I've never found high-engagement hubs to be all they're cracked up to be. But I DO hate high-pivot bikes and the accompanying idlers.

ALT/ALT Announces New Bearing Press Functionality
@hypa: I just checked them out. I honestly don't know where they're getting their pricing from. Sometimes I think I should shift my CNC machines to making bike tools and parts. I've got a dual spindle lathe that could crack off an entire kit in 20 minutes without any operator intervention beyond loading the bar feeder and hitting "feed start". Add in the anodizing costs and material cost and the gross margin on a set they're charging $650 for would have to be in the 80-85% range.
