Hunt Enduro V3 Alloy Rims Now Available Separately for $119
Spank 350 Front, 359 Rear also gives a compliant front and stronger rear but are lighter by over 100g a pair, cheaper, have beadbite and in my experience are pretty bomb proof, the 359 is a DH rim, you can even go for the vibrocore version with similar weight to the Hunt, albeit for more money.

Mavic Announces 1080-Gram Crossmax Ultimate XC Wheelset
@nzandyb: Trouble with cup and cone is too many cheap wheels using cheap soft materials have given it a bad reputation, but done right the benefits are real, just look at how much more bullet proof Shimano pedals are using cup and cone rather than others using cartridge or bushes, there's more chance for user error with cup and cone wheels and i think that's why you see failures, but set it up right and its lower drag and more durable.

Intend Releases Elevator Dropper Seat Post
@schofell84: only problem with this is physics means you will always need to add energy to enable that, likely by a battery, maybe it'll happen on e-bikes.

Specialized vs Santa Cruz vs Carbon Wasp - We Review Each Other's XC Bikes
it's interesting you say "seats slammed so far back they need custom brackets" when all 3 bikes here have their seats slammed as far forward as possible, surly means bike seat tubes aren't steep enough.

Bike Check: Cesar Rojo's Avinox-Powered Unno Mith Commuter
@Kilian1b15Gt: The reason cars get away with 3-4 years is partially as there's a lot more fluid so takes more water to be an issue but mostly because your average car never get anywhere near boiling it's fluid, only repeated heavy braking will do it and if you drive like that, likely on track then i bet you're replacing fluid more often and using high performance fluid, or you should be, your average car is more like a commuter bike and gravity MTB is like track driving.

Bike Check: Cesar Rojo's Avinox-Powered Unno Mith Commuter
@Jtstar: attracts is probably the wrong word, moisture can build up in both systems it just mixes with DOT and sits below mineral oil as it's hydrophobic, just means you can get away with it for longer in DOT as it's gradual performance reduction rather than sudden if you manage to get water in mineral oil system, but it is unlikely to get water in mineral oil and hence usually longer service intervals.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Suffer From Arm Pump When Mountain Biking?
Only get it when pushing it on a long rough full race run (usually just Fort William) or when riding loads of runs day after day in the alps, now I'm older i rarely push it far enough for it to be an issue, just have more socialising breaks on rides.

Cannondale to Shut Down Factory Race Program After 2026 Season
@BiNARYBiKE: Just because your like minded buddies (who are likely all riding buddies because they're all similar) aren't into the racing scene doesn't mean it's not a big part of the MTB world and affect a lot of peoples choices, the sheer number of Scott sparks at the last XC race i went to (when Nino was still the main man) will attest to win on Sunday sell on Monday.

Cannondale to Shut Down Factory Race Program After 2026 Season
@rrolly: I suspect you weren't buying a DH or XC race bike though, alot of riders like yourself won't care because they buy what they like or get a good deal on to ride for fun, but there's also a huge race market, especially in XC and those people want what's fast, if you're not a racer then you probably don't see that side and are looking for a trail bike rather than XC bike, influencers might work better for that market, along with things like freeride like i mentioned but i can guarantee Cannondale's XC bike sales will slump, but maybe that's not their priority any more.
