@DangerDavez: Meh, for the sake of half an hour's work swapping it out it does sound like the better choice. Replace the whole thing with 10sp SLX and sell the SX, it wouldn't cost you much either.

The Kurvyflats Mudguard is a New Twist on the Basic Flat Fender
Fuck you all, I kinda like it. Looks better than a Mudhugger in my opinion, and is clearly more effective than a MuckyNutz etc. It's a mudguard anyway, it's not like I'm fitting it for the aesthetic or the cool points...

First Look: The 2020 Specialized Kenevo Aims to Replace Your Shuttle Truck
"From a distance, the Kenevo strikes a profile that looks like a non-motorized bike"
Is that distance... several miles? It looks gopping awful, like any bike with a motor bolted to the bottom bracket. Painting those bits black does little to improve things.

Review: Marzocchi's New Bomber Z2 Fork is Impressive & Affordable
When you say it's a dedicated 160mm brake mount - presumably a post mount adaptor would still do the job?

Chris Kovarik Aims to End Chain Slap with STFU Bike
@loganflores: It's not exactly a repurposed inner tube, those things don't stretch. They have a certain 'buttery' quality though, I know what you mean.

Reader Story: Building a Custom Bike Frame at Home
@smalltownboycustoms: Just keep an eye on the tension and send them back for the free truing when they go baggy, which they will. My Fuel hub took huge great chunks out of itself somehow, which is mostly what led to my poor impression of them, but to be fair the Switch hubs themselves were OK for about a year until I changed bikes.

Reader Story: Building a Custom Bike Frame at Home
Wonderful writeup and amazing bikes, truly inspiring stuff!
On the other hand, those Superstar wheels are complete trash. I've dipped my toe twice and neither of them left any positive impressions - Switch Ultra and Fuel hubs, and EX23 rims like those above. At the sale prices they offer it's hard to say no, but I would argue it's a false economy in the end.
