Review: Rotor 2INpower MTB Crank
didn't last very long. I have serious creaking, which turns me crazy.

Pinkbike Poll: Would You Rather...? Quick-Fire Edition
only benefit of PF is that you only need one tool. I have a Shimano, Raceface 30mm and a Hope Tool to install those threaded ones

First Ride: The 2020 Specialized Turbo Levo SL Weighs Only 38 Pounds
@Upduro: I can clearly say that my fitness level went down after starting ebiking some of my regular routes, even though the time on saddle was the same. and I almost only use eco mode. I ve started now turning off the motor when it's flat (which works perfectly on the Levo)

2019 Pinkbike Awards: Innovation of the Year Winner
While I like my AXS drive train on my not everyday bike, I don't see the point of the dropper. It's ugly, needs charging , it's heavy, and it costs more than the whole AXS upgrade kit

Review: e*thirteen's TRS+ 12-Speed Cassette Offers a Whopping 556% Range
the 11 speed version wears so quickly that I would not dare to try the 12 speed. I went through 2 cassettes in a season when I switched back to GX cassette. and it is also a mess removing the e13.
But if you do just a few km per year, why not.

YT Enters the E-MTB Market With Decoy
@optimumnotmaximum: Try a Specialized levo with Brose motor, there is no decoupling at all. It's very natural for an e-bike, just feels like a heavy normal bike.
Even the added weight is totally ok, it is just glued on the trail. (yes, bunny hops are extra effort, manuals very difficult). I would never swap a smaller battery for some weight gain. If the battery only lasts for 20min it's also no fun.

YT Enters the E-MTB Market With Decoy
Oh no, 9-46T TRS Plus cassette on e-bike. that's not going to last more than 3 months.
why would anyone need such a big range on an e-bike, anyway?

Review: The 2019 Pole Machine Has a Serious Need For Speed
too bad there is no machined 140mm version of it. I went for the Evolink 140 instead, but I would have paid the extra costs for a machined one. I like the fact it to be locally produced and a small brand trying to move the boundaries.
