Henry's Waffle House: All-Mountain Bikes Are Back, and They're More Pointless Than Ever
@FatSanch: You know, I've tried that one - dropper post, decent gears, and DD style tires on a Norco Aurum HSP (39 lbs too), but in the end it was still a DH bike and painful to pedal on anything but not overly steep fire roads (although idler pulley has to take some blame there due to chain alignment). And as much as I hate the sidelining of DH bikes in the last few years, I had to admit that on anything but a fast, gnarly DH track like you generally only find at parks a big enduro bike was funner and less work up and down. IOW unless you live in Pemberton or Kamloops or something, the tracks you could pedal to were funner on the smaller bike anyway or close enough to not make it worth pedalling the beast.

@FatSanch: The same way you can tell if they're a crossfitter, a stripper, or vegan ?

Registration Opens for the 2024 North American Enduro Cup
Great race - I think I've been every year so far. Its a tough weekend though, been questioning if I'm getting too old to survive it each year.

Atherton Bikes Celebrates its 5th Birthday
Well the lead time right now is 20 weeks, up from 16 last year. Either they're getting slower or selling more bikes.

18 Bikes That Could Be Updated in 2024
I find my 2019 Ransom to be just about perfect as well other than I have issues keeping the main bearings from creaking. Been using retainer compound now and seem to get about 4 months before the cricks start up again. I have a theory that the BB/seat tube area acoustically amplifies any problems down there. Also BB86 sucks.
But with Avy Bomber CR it rides like mint for epic or enduro.

Review: Shimano XT Linkglide - Here For a Good Time AND a Long Time
They aren't ? I always run 28t chainrings. But still need the 51t gear.
(and for those ready to scoff, come out to the PNW and I'll show you why)
