Saracen Announces New Ariel 30 Elite & Updates to Existing Range
Ive had an Ariel 30 for 3 years, which is the same basic frame design as the 80 although with less load and rotation on the pivots, not had to do the bolts up any more than I would expect to (twice in total I think)

Revenue Round Up: The Latest Financial Reports from Giant, Shimano & More
I read some research that suggests, counter intuitively, that an e bike ridden for a distance creates less CO2 emissions than a non e bike - basically because humans are pretty inefficient machines (turning crops into meat into energy) compared to even fossil fuel generated electricity. 2000 calories is about 50p worth of electricity (just over 2 kwh).
Obviously that doesn't take into consideration manufacturing impacts, but for a town bike (as the majority of these giants are), used for a few years, an e bike is likely better for the environment

Review: The Pivot Shadowcat is Niche & Nimble
I think the 105mm measure is correct. You need to adjust for both the amount of wheel below the axle (-17mm or so) as well as the additional length of the lowers (~17mm). basically you've got 35mm more wheel, and the same gap between the crown and the tyre at bottom-out, so you need 35mm less travel to have the crown in the right place at 0 travel

Privateer Bikes Launch Gen 2 Privateer 141 & 161
I guess its to get the top tube high enough for bottle cages? I don't love the look of that part though

Park Tool Announces New E-Bike Specific Tools
@onawalk: I do not think there is any merit in an e-bike specific suspension fork. The total system weight of an ebike (ie with rider) is maybe 7% more than that of a normal bike. Well within the range of different rider weights (which vary the total system weight by over 100% in some cases).
These tools are clearly all useless though as they expect the user to turn the tool themselves
