British Cycling Limits Transgender Women Competing in Female Categories
Common sense. Biological men who claim themselves as females should not be competing against biological females. Full stop. Can't believe this is still a debate.

Video: The YT Mob Tests Components & Race the Opening Enduro World Cups
Looks like YT is focusing more on enduro rather than world cup dh right now. Kinda makes sense because the bulk of bikes sold is more in the trail/enduro categories.

First Ride: Canyon's New Strive:On
@yakimonti: Yeah, they lighter bikes use less energy, so the batteries don't have to be as big. But the light bikes have less power. But personally I don't need the extra power. Just a little extra for some super steeps.

53.6 lbs. Seems ebikes are getting heavier. I thought they were supposed to get lighter.

Review: We Are One Convergence Carbon Wheelset
@Grizzly134: I do like carbon wheels. I have had three carbon wheelsets. They are fast, light, really stiff, and have sharp precise handling. Whereas aluminum is more durable and more compliant, just not as stiff and heavier. However, I have broke all three rear carbon wheels in a short time and only broken two aluminum wheels over many years. Aluminum is a little more durable in my opinion, but do not handle as well. Of course there are tradeoffs. Right now I am running an aluminum rear and carbon front. Seems decent combo.

I have been using the WTB Silverado for many many years. It is the best seat I have found.

Review: We Are One Convergence Carbon Wheelset
Yeah, I agree. I don't see an advantage of carbon wheels if they are 1887 grams and cost $1800. DT Swiss makes good stuff.

Gwin running Vee tires with no inserts is interesting. They must be stout like motocross tires.

Where are the new lightweight ebikes? Just more of the same heavy ebikes.
