Video: Chris Akrigg Signs For Whyte Bikes
I wish Whyte would start selling in the US again. I had a 160 and a 130. Awesome bikes. The T-130 had over 10k miles on it.
I have many friends on e-bikes and many on pedal bikes. We all ride together. It’s all about about getting out and riding with some friends and enjoying good times.

PRO Launches New Range of Tools
I love that I get downvoted for complaining about MY own experience with XTR and complaining about an incredibly overpriced torque wrench.
I’ve had two m9100 cassettes creak like crazy(yes, I have the little plastic spacer). One of the shifters broke a month ago. Still waiting for a replacement. Brake pistons don’t retract fully or evenly. I’ve had to have the pistons greased several times so they will retract, but even then they eventually go out of alignment and one side doesn’t retract properly. And I had a chain snap during a hard sprint. Luckily we were practicing hole-shots on grass. That still messed me up for a week or two.
As far as the torque wrench, it’s a ripoff! Get a Venzo on Amazon for $60. And bits suck, sockets don’t.

Pretty much becoming anti-Shimano at this point. XTR is an unreliable mess. Problem after problem for me on my two bikes with m9100.
$250 for a torque wrench, and one that uses bits instead of sockets? Get a Venzo torque wrench on Amazon. I’ve had one for 6-7 years that has worked great. Still accurate, and the sockets are way better than annoying little bits.

Review: 6 Months with SRAM'S Wireless Eagle AXS XX1 Drivetrain
I don’t trust anything SRAM! My new bike sits in the shop waiting for the fork to come back from Rockshox. Lockout doesn’t work. Poor service and QC. Had the bike all of two weeks and the fork never worked right.

Niner Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy with Pending Sale to Colorado Investment Group
@dthomp325: They sell 27plus, they don't have a 27.5 bike.

@plyawn: What? In business you sell what people want. People want 27.5, and if people want 32 then they can sell those too.

@NinerBikes: You should make a 27.5 bike and just call it Fiver, or point five. Ditch the box you painted yourselves in.

24 Hours in the Old Pueblo - Photo Epic
I believe Lance was riding a Norco. Armstrong, Hincapie, Vande Velde and Casey were all very nice. They stopped for photos and chatted with other riders. Great weekend, even if the weather wasn't up-to-par for Tucson.
