A Deeper Look at Lal Bikes' Supre Drive Patent
I like the shifting/derailleur concept. The “brass tube that holds the spring and damper” seems problematic though. More complication and gizmos requiring more complicated frame manufacturing seems like a tough sell for frame builders.

Opinion: How Many Batteries Does a Mountain Bike Really Need?
This isn’t entirely true. The action of the AXS dropper is definitely superior to any cable operated dropper. That is until the battery dies in the middle of a ride, which happened to me. I don’t ever want to worry about that again, which is why I went back to mechanical.

@yourrealdad: Nice try! I would happily trade it for a high quality mechanical dropper, though.

Opinion: How Many Batteries Does a Mountain Bike Really Need?
We don’t “need” dropper posts, 1X drivetrains, tubeless tires, suspension, or disc brakes either. I started riding when those didn’t exist. That being said, I’m not a fan of all the battery stuff. My wife bought me an AXS dropper for Christmas and it is sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I went back to a cable dropper because having to worry about the battery being charged isn’t worth it for me.

[Update: 24-year-old Warehouse Worker Charged With Murder] Employee Found Dead at Jamis Bikes Headquarters
@deeeight: 100% correct on your observations. My older brother died 2 years ago and Facebook continues to send out messages to wish “your friend a happy birthday”, even though I contacted them and informed them he was no longer alive. The news (and social) media is pathetic. Would Pinkbike pre-Outdoor life have reported this in this manner? I don’t know, but Pinkbike is becoming more TMZ like since the sale. I used to very much enjoy Pinkbike’s content and style, but am quickly becoming disinterested in most of the content.

Schurter on an ebike uphill? Claudio is going to need a Honda 250 to beat him. It should be great fun to watch though.
