Review: Manitou Mattoc Pro Fork - Reversed Arched, Foward Thinking
Back then in 2016 I liked my Mattoc very much, but it had the tendency to sag into travel when it was below freezing, and the bushings became very sloppy after a year of bikeparking. Hopefully this is all solved now - this fork really looks great and rides great.

Peter Sagan Undergoes Surgery After Heart Arrhythmia During MTB Race
I did a max power test once at the local universitys sports medic center, and the heart rate one reaches there is definitely max.
Some people reach 220 when they are young, but at 34 topping your max rate by 10 beats, this is alarming.
I guess every pro has done such a test every year..

Peter Sagan Undergoes Surgery After Heart Arrhythmia During MTB Race
I have LAF for about 15yrs now, they wanted to do a electrocardioversion first, but after some checks I went for taking pills and it is ok now. But the stroke risk is still there, so some more pills in the future.
And no more high intensities.
I think Indurain has this too, and Klausmann (german DH guy). You can google the studies on arrhythmia, it is endurance sport related especially for taller riders.

KMC Announces Their First Cassette
I did not believe that there is a difference in shifting (when new) between SunRace, e13, SRAM and Shimano.
Until I rode it.
SunRace is horrible, e13 shifts with funny noises, SRAM GX wears out fast, and Shimano stays the cheapest and easiest replacable option.
I wonder where the KMC sorts in?

The Top 10 Highest Rated MTB Trails on Trailforks in 2023
Klinovec "Illegal" - only because there is no other lift assisted trail of this kind that is so well known 150kms around.
Great bikepark line though. Flowy fast and technical.
This highlights how silly such a rating system is.
