2019 UCI MTB Rulebook Fixes DH Finals Start Order, Allows For Mismatched Wheel Sizes & More
AHA, this is why all the 78 degree seat posts!! So you can run a 27.5x2.6 as a back tire and still have a reasonable seat tube angle... :) (while dragging your pedals) After all the scramble to get racers on 29er's last year they get to repeat updating rear triangles/linkages to get racers on smaller rear wheels to find out of that's faster. (I'd guess a lot of people must think so for the UCI to change the rules???)
At least most of us will have wheel sets ready this time when the new range of reverse mullet bikes start coming though... I saw FOES was pretty happy! :)

First Look: Nukeproof ARD Tire Inserts
NICE! If I'm gonna get charged 8000% markup for a pool noodle floaty thing it should at least get squirted out a playdoh thingy to make it the right shape to protect my rim... (no really, huge improvement in design over some of the others, cost is reasonable in comparison and weight too)

Propain Launches New Tyee Carbon & Tyee AM Carbon
@JohanG: Horses for courses I guess. But if your terrain is that flat than does an Enduro bike like the Tyee really even make sense?? If you have even moderate hills you benefit from the climbing position. The intent is the EFTT doesn't change with steeper seat tube angles because there is more reach.
Bonus, you can always run a set back post/dropper with the seat at the back of the rails and size down and retain the same effective geo you have now if you desire...
I guess buyers like yourself is why Jamis made the new Propain and Hardline the way they did. (course using the name Hardline for that bike is still stupid... :) )
Cheers!

Because how much mountain biking are you doing on "flat" terrain...? It's mostly up or down, so why optimize your bike set up for flat?

@zede: Sorry, thought you were saying a bike with 110mm was not an XC bike... (I mean it could be or could not be, just depends) But I agree with you , the Hugene would not make a very good XC bike with that weight and travel... Cheers!

Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Replace Your Tires?
those were some crappy choices to make, either have top pick too soon or too late...
