Specialized Is Trying to Make E-Bike Overlanding a Thing
Specialized should ask Trek how well the 1120 sold and Rocky Mountain how well the Sherpa sold...

HotBars Introduces the World’s First Heated Bicycle Handlebar
I think having a system that could be retro fitted to the riders existing bars would be better and cheaper. The battery life of this also leaves a lot to be desired, my heated gloves last for ~2-5 hrs depending on the level they are set to. Would be interesting to see how it handles proper winter conditions like we see here in the Yukon. but 2-3 hrs in Bellingham probably equals 20 mins at -20 C.

Review: Formula Selva V – Are 35mm Stanchions Still Enough for Enduro?
I've been running the Selva R for ~5 seasons on my Druid V1. I really like it, but I do agree that all the CTS options are bit confusing, after much tinkering I opted of the blue valve. I will say the fork is also really easy to service yourself. It comes with all the tools you need and Formula has fantastic step-by-step videos on their youtube channel. I'll certainly be putting a Selva on my next bike.

Pinkbike Poll: What Stops You From Riding Year Round?
What if you switch to a fat bike in the winter? For us in the Yukon there are two riding seasons, summer bike from June to Sept (some years May to Oct). And fat bike season from November to April.

The Yukon: Land of the Midnight Fun
@sdaly: Not too bad compared to endless grey and rain in Vancouver and bitter cold of the prairies. Generally between -15 to -25 with a good amount of snow and ~6 hrs of light at the worst of it, but it is usually sunny for those hours. The MTB club has a couple of groomers and there is a dedicated group of volunteers that pack the trails making it great for fat biking. To be honest I probably log more miles on my fat bike vs summer bike.

The Yukon: Land of the Midnight Fun
Great write up and awesome photos, I hope it makes some people come up... and you guys missed out on the best trail in the Territory, Hammerstrand in Dawson City. I spent 8 years in Vancouver before moving up to the Yukon and now have been here for ~10 year. The riding and quality of life here is unreal... at times it doesn't feel like a real place.

The Yukon: Land of the Midnight Fun
@soorr: I've had more issues with black bears than grizzlies. Every grizzly I've run into or seen has been terrified of me and usually runs away quickly. Black bears are too curious and sometimes linger too long. But in 10 years of riding in the Yukon I've only had two bear encounters while riding.

Pinkbike Poll: What Type of Mountain Bikes Should We Review at the Next Field Test?
won't be much of a test as Kris Holm Unicycles are the undisturbed champ of the mountain unicycles. Kris is also a really nice guy.

Check Out: Plant-Based Tire Sealant, A Bike-Specific Jet Washer, Heavy-Duty Lock, Flashy Riding Kit, & More
given how it looks and where it is made, it is likely the exact same sealant as whistler performance lube's sealant. I've used their stuff in 3 different bike for the past 4 seasons. No complaints, does exactly what is suppose to.
