Industry Veteran Hans Rey Calls for Clearer E-Bike Definitions in Open Letter to the Bicycle Industry
Here's an idea for precise language: Can we go back to purely mechanical bikes being called just bikes? There's nothing analog or acoustic* or bio about most motor-less bicycles. It's annoying that we need to clarify that we mean bicycles and not e-bikes when we say bicycle (or mountain bike). The industry (and media) lumped it all together, I assume not by accident but to push acceptance and to profit from where bicycles were and are allowed to go. Cyclists were worried about access issues but you told them that there was nothing to worry because what's the difference, right? Now you are worried and don't want to be lumped together with the next bigger thing. It's just silly. And annoying.
*Yes, it makes sounds and noises but it's not a guitar.

'We' actually went from 26 inches to 29 and then to 27.5. This looks kind of like 69ers of the day.

Where did you get the bit about the pores being conical? I've never heard that. As far as I know Gore Tex or other membranes were never directional. They just work because sweat/water vapor molecules are smaller than liquid water molecules. The pores are too small for water molecules to pass through but big enough for water vapor.

I was hoping they would do a redesign nodding back to the Xen. Maybe someday …

„first foray into a purpose-build gravity mountain bike option“? What about the Giro Tempo MTB? I've been using them for years.

Continental Adds SuperSoft Enduro Casing Kryptotal & Argotal
They had them listed on the website in November. With parts number, EAN and all specs. At least the 29er Kryptotal-Fr Trail Soft. I didn't check for the other options and haven't checked the listing since. The question is: When will they be available to purchase?
