Check Out: A Rebuildable Saddle, Shiny Cranks, Discreet Earbuds, DH Bar Ends and More
As an old man with wimpy hands and forearms, the Wolftooth Bar Ends have been magic for our bumpy Santa Barbara trails and bike bark riding. Multiple extra minutes before arm pump sets in

Is It Selfish to Want to Watch Your Heroes? Ben Cathro Tackles the World Cup's Deadliest Rule
I love the token idea. 2 tokens per year for the top 15 men in points and 2 tokens per year for the top 10 women. It would have a small negative effect on privateers and I wouldn't have missed my favorite rider Luca

Kona Releases New Remote 160 CR: 20.8kg, Bosch SX Motor, & Automatic Shifting
So Rad! I don't want 1000 watts. 600 is plenty and 45lbs is in right where Ebikes start to feel like 'real' bikes. Nice work Kona

Must Watch: Laurie Greenland Embraces Stepping Back From Racing in 'A Different Line'
One of my favorites. I feel he was the original 'new school DH' rider. He gave riders like Jackson and Asa permission to get loose on a World cup track. So stoked Santa Cruz is still supporting him!

Thanks for sharing my question about shock hardware. I do think the Spires wide eyelet hardware is its one weak link but other designs have failed here in Santa Barbara. My friend sold his Spectral after one year due to inability to keep the shock hardware from knocking. The older Stumpy Evos and even the front eyelet hardware on the full power Levo knock quickly here. I have been replacing eyelet hardware on my spire multiple times per year in hopes of not ruining another front triangle but I love Matt's idea to try eyelet hardware with bearings. What a glorious idea!!
