The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly - Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Night Riding Lights
Thanks for the tip, I live near Nelson and hadn't heard of that biz. I just took a look at their site, those seem perfect for biking or skiing.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly - Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Night Riding Lights
For those living in regions with full-on winter, aka Snowville, take your night-riding one step further with fat-biking. The reflective aspect of riding on snow as opposed to dirt makes pretty much any light bright enough to enjoy the experience. Group night rides on the fatties are a blast.

With a 68* HA is this just Pinarello getting ahead of the curve by introducing a full-sus gravel bike?

Magura's Most Powerful & Precise Brake Yet: The Race Pro
Same(ish) here. I have the XT-8100 levers which came stock on my bike and a guy nearby listed a pair of MT5 calipers for $30CDN. I went to his house to take a look and he said, "Here, I have another set plus the hoses and small hardware. You can have them too." Score! I've been riding them all of this season, noticeably more power and better lever feel (subjective, yes) than the 2-piston XT's. Minor weeping at the rear banjo bolt, two wraps of hockey tape has absorbed the fluid but I'll finding some O-rings is on my to-do list.

Video: Brice Shirbach Explores High Cascades Trails in Oakridge & Westfir
Yes, three 'Puffs for me way back. Descending the upper section of the Alpine Trail was a blast, widely-spaced huge trees (cedars?) and perfect loam to shred. Okay, as shreddy as one could get before the invention of the dropper post and rolling on 26"x1.95" semi-slicks. The covered bridge in the photo was the start line.

First Look: Yeti ASR Lunch Ride
@cyclotoine:
The most recent version, I think from 2024 on, is a flex stay design.

First Look: Yeti ASR Lunch Ride
@ridedigrepeat:
I have a '22 Element and freaking love it for the BCXC style of riding it was designed for. Being able to easily change the Ride4 geo-adjustment from 66* to 65*, along with the resulting other changes, is sweet.
