Bike Check: Caleb Holonko's 27.5" Kona Process X
@rich-2000:
Yes you are so right! Manufacturers decide what to push in the market place and we just have to suck it up.
Remember when 29 was dead and 27.5 was the real deal?
Didn't take too long for an about face back to 29 as the best. But they didn't steer easy so we get a 27.5 rear wheel to solve that.
Manufacturers don't want to make too many options so set about killing 27.5.
Isn't marketing a wonderful thing!

@Bro-LanDog:
That's not the way it works. Industry decides what they want to sell and to they have decided to to ditch full 27.5 and only sell full 29 or 29/27.5.
They decide what we get and market the product accordingly. Can't be bothered supplying too many sizes even if consumers want.

Review: 2023 Merida One-Sixty: An Easygoing Enduro Bike
Got to say I'm glad I've got a model with a standard headset and cable routing into the frame. The headset routing looks like another stupid idea foisted on the consumer.

Vista Outdoor Agrees to Buy Fox Racing for $540M
Fox clothing/protection and Fox suspension are totally separate companies. Started by two brothers I think.
Fox head logo - clothing. Fox tail - suspension.

@CleanZine:
Great to see a sensible comment.
Sam made a decision to protect the health of himself, his family and his team.
Can't believe the amount of controversy this post has generated. A world dividend re a response to a deadly disease.
