Review: Stinner Romero MT - A US-Made Steel Trail Bike That's Better With Mixed Wheels
$7,750 for a steel/alum bike is reasonable? I think we have different definitions of the word 'reasonable'. It's not about if I can afford it, its that you called that reasonable which seems hard to defend.

Review: Berd Hawk 30 Gold Wheels – Ultra-Light and Subtly Forgiving
@spacebird42: I've beat the absolute shit out of my btlos rims for years now and they're absolutely still good and true. I've got 4 rims built up the same for enduro ebikes and none have issues. Last week I rode 1 mile downhill to my car on a flat tire and no rim protection....tire was shredded but rim is absolutely fine. Mine are the 40mm outer 34mm inner ones if that matters at all.

Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit
@jessie-mmorgan: Wrist angle is a factor too, I widened my grips until my wrists were more aligned and it's noticeable since i've got lots of old damage to that joint.

@garybuseysfrontteeth: Some newer ones no longer use hydrostatic, and are using eCVT - john deer series 8 for example.

The control system will have to be really well integrated and responsive but there's absolutely no physical reason you can't have "gears" with the ecvt. On computer timescale, human movement is incredibly slow so I imagine this will be possible although making it feel natural may end up a bit difficult.
