Must Watch: Kona’s New LBF Throws Out the Drop-Bar Rulebook
Here's my individual perspective - I was a mountain bike rider first and a gravel rider second, and the gravel bike is so close to being a swiss army knife already but I've often wished for slacker geo and a bit more compliance when sneaking through wooded trails or chunky fire road descents. I think this is meant to fill that void for a very select few while also being a tool for Instagram views because underbiking is cool these days.

Gravity Components Launches New 3D-Printed Titanium Brake & Dropper Post Levers
@iamamodel: That's the whole point of the plastic master cylinder and clamp, according to Magura. That they will rotate in a crash. In their defense mine do rotate and I beat them back into position with my fist afterward.

That market still exists. Top build back then is a lot closer to mid-range build now, and there are unlimited used bike choices in that $2-3k range for very solid builds.

Interview: Max Commencal on Racing Roots, E-Bikes, & the Future of Mountain Biking
Why are the already short answers are quoted just below the actual text of the answer? Not like this is long-form journalism where we need quotes to drive home the hard-hitting points.
Max: We’re not just a bike brand. We’re a team of men and women who love working and sharing together. Creating a place where we feel good and can welcome others is a real joy. And the restaurant — that’s a fascinating new challenge. Life changes when going to the office becomes a pleasure!

24 MTB Cranks Ranked According to Stiffness
@powturn: your analysis implies the human body is a perfect transmitter of mechanical energy, which it is not. The myriad joints, ligaments, cartilage, etc. all act as energy absorbers and I would posit that any energy released by the crank on the upstroke is immediately absorbed by the rider and not transmitted to the downstroke on the otherside whatsoever.
