$600 Comp has IVA air and the ABS+ shim stack compression damper. That tunable shim stack makes the Comp the best fork at that price range by a long shot. Put that oem on a lot of bikes instead of a Z2 or The Motion Control damped 35 Gold RL with no upgrade damper possibility.

Video: Welcome to the 2022 Value Bike Field Test - Reasonably Priced Full-Suspension and Hardtails

Reviews are professional undertakings. That means you get bikes that are true examples of your review category. Yes, bikes are difficult to get. But they're being produced and sold. You guys need to jump through the same hoops everyone else does. That's what it takes today. Get on the notification lists for CRC bikes. Emails go out at 8am GMT. Stock comes in every few weeks. If you had put in the effort necessary today, a Ragley Big Al 1.0 with a Z2 fork, good geo and some vertical rear compliance would be in this test. A Costco Intense 951 Trail too. C'mon, guys. Getting a bike is just as important as how it rides.

First Look: DT Swiss' New 240 EXP Hubs

@shlotch: The inner bearing is the hardest to remember to clean and relube. And a 'special tool' and a vice and a long rod for leverage hard to loosen to get to and replace.

Opinion: Carbon and Aluminum Wheels - Does Stiffer Always Mean Better?

Vertical flex isn't it. Of course a properly built wheel doesn't have much. Lateral flex is what you feel leaned over hitting a rock/rut in hard cornering. Or not leaned when one side hits a rock. Every wheel has that to a different degree.

Review: Enve’s M735E Wheels Fail Our Test

In 2012-- "ENVE Composites is using Zyvex Technologies' nano-enhanced carbon fiber technology in a new line of wheel rims for downhill mountain bike racing. The rims are said to out-perform and out-last traditional alloy rims." https://www.compositesworld.com/news/enve-bike-rim-integrates-zyvex-technologies-nanocomposites Are they using this tech in the tested wheelset? Or any current wheelsets? Since the acquisition by Amer Sports? A S also bought Mavic, a brand that appears from their offering to know little about mtbiking.
