Bike Check: The Scott Spark RC X N1NO for Nino Schurter's Final UCI World Cup
@wyorider: Haha, you are basing this on what information? I'm pretty sure all of Gustavs bikes holds up for their intended use.
He's a rather skilled (and fit) rider, here he is riding his hyperspark in the bike park: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CTKlmSiDhL6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Review: Giant Trance X Advanced - Not Your Parents' Volvo
” That said, while the DHF is a good tire, there are better options for an all-rounder front tire.”
-And surprisingly, it’s called the DHR-II

Mathieu van der Poel's Assault Convictions Overturned After Appeal
@olafthemoose:
I'm basing this on the wikipedia article on the subject, which seems to clearly state that it is legal anywhere in the states?
"Despite opposition from medical and social-services professionals, as of 2022, the spanking of children is legal in all 50 states and, as of 2014, most people still believe it is acceptable provided it does not involve implements."

Mathieu van der Poel's Assault Convictions Overturned After Appeal
@mosierman:
Wow, you’re a real hero!
Abusing your children is always the lazy bully’s approach to parenting, nothing to be proud about.
Any person with average intelligence can quickly research this and conclude there are no benefits to be had from abuse, the only result is broken and dysfunctional minds.
Here in Sweden child abuse has been banned by law since the fifties (with an extra clarification in the seventies explicitly stating that any abuse intended as disciplinary is forbidden)
This is also the case in most other European countries, but as usual USA lags behind a bit. Come on people, get with the times!

Field Test: 6 Downcountry Bikes VS the Efficiency Test
@rich-2000:
We agree on the out of saddle pedaling and downhill traits at least :)
As mentioned I probably have relatively smooth pedaling, and as such is less sensitive to seated pedaling.
I'm also barely 5'9 (on low gravity days), and as such not that affected by the seat tube angle, though I did prefer it in the high mode (but I run it in low to get a low and nice BB with my 150mm fork).
I've been considering switching it to high mode and putting a 140mm fork and a -1 angleset on there to get similar geo with steeper seat tube angle.

Field Test: 6 Downcountry Bikes VS the Efficiency Test
@rich-2000:
What Evil bikes did you have?
My Evil offering (140mm) pedals very well, especially during standing pedaling (which to me is important, others my prioritize other attributes).
Compared to my old Transition Scout (125mm) it pedals a lot better. Compared to my even older Ibis HDR (135mm) and the Ibis Ripmo (145mm) I demoed it's almost as good seated and about the same during standing sprints.
I think people often have different opinions on which bike pedals well, and it probably has a lot to do with how you pedal your bike. To me, most bikes pedals ok while seated, but some really suck when standing up which sort of kills my motivation
