Spotted: Mid-Pivot Nukeproof Dissent DH Prototype - 2026 Loudenvielle DH World Cup
@ginsu2k: whew, that's so good to know… And here I was thinking that 99% of the elite downhill World Cup racers don't need this junk… oh wait, I just realized that you actually meant 99% of bicycle riders don't need this stuff...right. For all of us "Cyclist or Racers", keep the relevance coming.

Avinox's New M2S & M2 Motors: All the Details and Initial Impressions
Would be very interested in any statistics that illustrate how these increasingly powerful pedal-assist systems accelerate wear in current drivetrain components? Shifting from a harder-to-easier gears (or mis-shiftng) while powering up a steep climb is cringey with just leg power but with full-on torque of a Boost Assist? Mutli-gear shifts under this load? Pawl-smashing cranking, running high-angle chainline with Boost load on chain. Maybe missing something but are there components, that are specifically made for spec'ing on full power EMTB models or are we simply seeing "compatible" and these are featured in the stock models found on non-assist drive trains? Many I speak with are on their EMTB way more often and always for longer rides, pushing harder climbs, not shifting as often, et.

Review: Mavic Crossmax XL 29" Alloy Wheels
Knipex Pliers are killer but for these end caps, just get a Unior Hub Genie tool, pop 'em off fast and keep those caps plier-free! Works great for I9 and other as well!

New Rotors and Materials from Galfer - Pond Beaver 2021
Good news for Team Canada on Galfer accessibility issues and cost to buy on-line. NRG Enterprises has them available for Canadian Dealers as I type! Also their floating Rotors and "Standard" Pads which should have a better handle as they are great value for their actual performance!

Dorel Reaches 'Agreement in Principal' to Go Private Following Cerberus Transaction
Cerberus, obviously nice guys at heart, used to own Remington (w/ their cash-cow AR-15 semiautomatic rifle) until it tanked after Sandy Hook...shuffled it off to Vista Outdoors to hang with Bell/Giro/Camelbak and their other "outdoor" brands... Talk about putting the Canon back in Cannondale;-)
