We Explain Why Cheap Drivetrains & Alloy Bikes Are Best | Pinkbike Magazine Show Ep 3
I'll see your aluminum frame, DT Swiss hubs, 11-spd GX drivetrain and raise you 142mm rear axle and Sunrace 11-46 cassette.
Banshee Spitfire V3 will all previously mentioned parts and a Marz Z1 is my apocalypse bike. Drive train (on 3rd cassette, new chains, etc) still running strong from when I pulled it off a 2015 Norco Sight.

Field Test: 5 Trail Bikes Point Uphill in Whistler for the Impossible Climb
Misnamed for the clicks. "Attacked while ebiking" doesn't have the same ring or baked in sympathy.

Video: 6 Aggressive Trail Bikes Ridden & Rated - Field Test Roundtable
@AyJayDoubleyou: The one camera, straight on group shot is to blame. They should be seated a couple of feet apart, three cameras, edit back and forth to the speaker and sprinkle in a few group views. With all that Outside money flying around, what's another couple of cameras?

Field Test: Starling Murmur - The Steel Rock Crusher
@PHeller: That's not quite right. The "Starling Fallacy" was coined by Andrew Major to describe how owners of a bike like the Murmur will call out design features (which may or may not be shortcomings) on a similar frame, but praise those same features on the frame they own. Starling in this case just being representative of a boutique brand that has rabid fanbois.

Final Results: Leogang World Cup XC 2021
I wouldn't count him out yet. Yes, he is waning, and some of the younger competition are looking very strong, but his 10th place today is actually an incredible result considering his start position which was very much tied to his slipped pedal at the start of the short track race.

@rodeostu: I don't know if you just coined "axle boner" or I'm just out of the loop, but I'm gonna start using it all the time. ALL THE TIME.

Brian,
I have the same frame and I'm curious about what dropper post you're using because that entry angle for the housing is waaaaay different than what I had — was having issues with a super finicky Crank Bros Hi Line post so I scrapped the interal altogether and went with an external PNW post.
But yeah, still wondering about your routing there.
Also, nice looking build!

@Voreis: You don't need to justify your setup to anyone! Bike looks sick BTW.
