DH Bike Review: The Antidote Darkmatter Rides As Fast As It Looks
@Glory831Guy: @Glory831Guy: The Avalanche DHS comes with a reservoir that is separate from the main shock body via a braided hose that's available in different lengths. It allows you to mount the resi in the optimal spot on the frame. This is common practice on road and track motorcycles, as well as many supercar/racecars.

DH Bike Review: The Antidote Darkmatter Rides As Fast As It Looks
I feel like a Dorado Pro on the front should be mandatory. Full exposed carbon legs with inverted layout would make this thing look absolutely bonkers. Maybe an Avalanche rear shock with remote resi? How MotoGP can we make it?!

Review: Prime Thunderflash - A Standout Enduro Bike
Yes, came here to say this. It shortens the effective top tube length, but in fact increases reach. Tilting the steerer tube rearward (slacker) means the front triangle tilts forward (think about opening or closing a pair of scissors). Headtube tilts forward=upper headset is now farther away from cranks. I use https://bikegeo.muha.cc/ , if you plug in the same numbers in both columns and then add -1 to the HA insert you'll see the results in reach.

Opinion: Five Things The Bike Industry Could Do Better
Agree. Rigid with dropper is better than hardtail with full post. Your arms and legs are the best suspension, and the dropper allows you to use them fully.

Field Test: Trek Fuel EX - Evolution Underlined
My only question: Does Trek still press frame bearings directly into carbon? I've seen their frames consume themselves because of this and its the dumbest idea ever. Tool steel will always win vs carbon.

Field Test: 2023 Norco Fluid - The Reasonably Priced One
Buyer at Norco should've gone with Performance Elite 36 150mm and it would be perfect.

Whistler Blackcomb Replacing Fitzsimmons Express Lift in 2023, Some Rolling Trail Closures Expected
@captaindingus: I was there! The day started out beautiful so I was only wearing t-shirt/shorts. Rain came in and absolutely soaked everyone. We stayed through the whole race, worth it to see top riders try to navigate the mud. Michal Paskal was the only rider who came close - he was flat out in full slop conditions.
