Review: The Kona Process 134 CR DL is a Comfort Zone Companion
My preference is for a slack head angle even for short travel bikes, a lot of my riding locally is flat if you by Strava metric info but it does have steep sections though don’t suffer from rough sections to require long travel bikes. Hell I rode the South Downs way over two days on a 63 degree long travel hardtail when a gravel bike would of been better for 90% of the route but glade I had the hardtail for the 10% steep and flat flowing descents

RAAW Discounts Orders Heading to the US in Response to Tariffs
I’ll bite, there is more to this than tariffs and how much one country buys from another country. The biggest is standards, within the EU if there is a chance that a product could cause ill health then the company has to prove it is safe to consume where in the US it is the other way around with having to prove it is a cause of ill health. Have a look at “food wars” on YouTube to see the difference in the same products for food and the ingredients that are allowed and you will understand why the products are cheaper to sell.
