First Look: Pinarello Renews Focus on MTB with Dogma XC & XC Now Available in FS & HT
@jspier: "The rear triangle is made up of two distinct semi-triangles fitted to a main rotation point using a unique, design where two pins are moulded to the carbon frame (patent pending). Pinarello says that this results in the elimination of a classic external ‘bridge’ which allows for a reduced chain stay length and delivers improved handling and reactivity, the elimination of critical mud accumulation areas, and the ability to adopt wider tires."
Seems pretty well mentioned to me.

Review: 6 Months with the New DT Swiss 240 DEG Hubs
A 90 gram weight penalty? That can't be right, that would mean the EXP rear hubs were less than 200 grams?

Pinkbike Poll: Center Lock or 6-Bolt Brake Rotor Mounting?
I would argue that it's even worse than that, that centerlock is a problem for a solution that did exist. I miss 20mm axles and it's centerlock that caused them to disappear.

First Look: Lee Cougan Crossfire Trail XC Bike
@plume: Yep! Exact same seat tube angle as the brand new Specialized Epic 8, another 120mm XC trail/race bike. So yeah I'd say it's probably right where it should be.

First Look: Lee Cougan Crossfire Trail XC Bike
Not every bike needs to be a super slack and long 38lb enduro rig built to shred the gnarliest gnar bro. This is an xc/race bike and the geometry is very suitable for that.

Review: Renthal's New Revo-F Flat Pedals
I'm genuinely curious why that's your opinion, because my opinion would be the exact opposite. For me, set screws always get ripped out of pedals during hard enduro/dh riding which ruins the aluminum threads and can't really be fixed, whereas pedals that use little bolts from the underside don't get ripped out because the head of the bolt gives it much more support.

The Gamux Sego "Semi-Automatic" Gearbox DH Bike Is Available To Preorder
@GAMUXBIKES: Where in the frame are these bonded carbon tubes? Those dimly lit pictures of a black frame aren't making it easy to see details, I'd love to see some more detailed pics.

They can rotate independently, so no there will never be an issue.
