Shimano EW-SD50 Wire Ebike display or Di2 1200mm
$20 USDBought this for my old ebike as a backup in case I had another short in the wire, but I just sold the bike so no longer need it! It will work on any Shimano equipped ebike or Di2 setup.

OneUp Components Dropper Post V2 210mm drop 34.9mm
$150 USDBest dropper in the game! I've had this one and the PNW 200mm dropper post and was actually shocked at how much I noticed the difference in the extra 10mm of travel. I have had One Up droppers since they came out with the V1 and run them on all my bikes. Only reason for sale is I just sold the bike this one was on, and the new bike is of course a different standard

OneUp Components Carbon Bars 35mm rise Uncut 800mm
$120 USDRaw and uncut! Lightly used OneUp Components carbon bars I bought new back in 2021. they're in great condition and still uncut at 800mm so you have options of what size you want to use! I love these bars and think they're the most comfortable 35mm clamp bars out there! I'm just going with a cheaper option since I'm planning on upgrading this bike I just bought.

Video: What's The Big Deal With High-Pivot Mountain Bikes?
The lack of stoke comes from us who don't race and just want the most fun bike possible. High pivot seems purpose built for racing. Combine that with the common: "they jump weird" + extra complexity of an idler and you're gonna have skeptics. Would love to try one, but as a non-racer I need bike demos to come back before I could pull the trigger.

@woofer2609: also has the MTB industry not embraced the single front chainring?? Show me a bike that is even compatible with a front derailleur, or anyone out riding that still has one? Agree on diminishing returns. 11-51T Shimano Deore 11 speed has all the range with less of the finickiness and price. I don't even think I'd run 12 speed on a gravel bike over the Deore 11 speed.

First Ride: Santa Cruz Heckler SL eMTB
If some of the EMTBForum posts about the Transition Relay are an indication, the Ride 60 is pretty unreliable as well. I really think Orbea hit the mark with the Rise having a Shimano EP8 that's detuned to 60nm. Sure it's 1lb heavier, but that's worth it for a motor that's much less likely to die, and easier to warranty if it does. he Relay would be my next bike if it had a tried and true (and raced at the highest level) Shimano or Bosch motor.

First Ride: Santa Cruz Heckler SL eMTB
Yeah really is a shame to see some companies clinging to the non-removable battery thing. Having a spare battery in the truck for self shuttle laps is the way to go. Lower weight + double your ride time. There's no way having a non-removable battery saves more than 1lb, but then again I think all of these SL ebikes are just a headfake to get the weight weenies interested in eebs. My prediction is in 5-8 years there will only be ebikes and not SL ebikes vs full fat ebikes.
