Review: Whyte Elyte 150 Works - 'One of the Best Handling E-Bikes'
@BermSkid72: This a million times. I’ve ruined several chains on my ebike because it’s unprotected.
One chain broke a few minutes after lightly tagging it on a rock step (probably pried an outer plate loose). I’m just pedaling along wondering, what’s that faint “ticking” noise? Then bam, chain breaks and rips my derailleur clean off.
Moral of the story, don’t ignore ticking noises, and e-bikes need bash guards too.

First Ride: The 2024 Pivot Switchblade Gets Updated, Not Overhauled
If your trails are chunky, and have lots of tech climbing, but aren’t crazy steep, this is the perfect trail bike. I have the last version and it feels like I’m cheating up tech climbs.

Pinkbike Poll: How Many Derailleurs Have You Actually Destroyed While Riding?
@stevemokan: Sounds like he rides hard and pushes himself. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Yes, he could find easier terrain and/or push himself less, but that would probably take the fun out of it.
…and I’ll bet he’d prefer a more durable option if one were available.

Review: Scor 2030 - The Trail Bike You Didn't Know You Wanted
I love short chainstays on this type of bike. Yeah it gives up some speed and stability, but it makes up for it with quicker, more playful handling and improved technical climbing.
I built a Trail 429 a year ago and pretty much stopped riding my enduro bike. No question it’s slower at top speed, but it does everything better at normal speed and it’s more fun.

That’s a pretty genius way to setup shift buttons.

Randoms Round 2 - Crankworx Whistler 2023
Probably the fastest, funnest bike I’ve ever ridden on smooth flow trails… very much the opposite in the chunk.

Video: Neko Mulally Shares the Details on the Frameworks Enduro Bike
@joshgl: Same thing, back to Aggressor. The Dissector does everything slightly better, but it wears out twice as fast. Not worth it.
I will say, like the Dissector 2.6 is a great front tire. Surprisingly grippy and long lasting.
