2019 Specialized Stumpjumper - First Ride
Did the fix the problem with their weak chainstay seatstay bridge? My Stumpy died when the bridge cracked in two after five years of admittedly rough riding and they wouldn't warranty it. I've been riding an Ibis Ripley ever since with zero problems.

Cane Creek's Titanium Enduro Crankset - First Look
@WAKIdesigns: that was quite literally the dumbest thing you’ve ever posted. Or maybe you just don’t know how to ride and pedal strike constantly? Carbon cranks, at least those I have experience with (SRAM X01) are as durable as Thor’s hammer. Even when you put the hammer down.

We've Got Questions: Digging Deep at Enve
I agree. I was like, what the hell. I like stiff wheels. Granted I have Easton Haven carbons, so maybe Enves are way stiffer, but I love the stiff ride of my Eastons. And yeah, one broke on mounting a tire but they promptly replaced.

@wibblywobbly: What? I did not know that. Negative points to SC for the BS that led me to believe they were manufactured in the US. Dammit.

We've Got Questions: Digging Deep at Enve
@phobospwns: Is a Gucci purse worth more 1000% more than a non-name-brand version of the same materials? Of course not. It's about branding and positioning. They should not need to apologize for their strategy.
So long as their wheels continue to set the bar in terms of quality, longevity, looks, made-in-usa, etc. then they will be able to continue demanding premium pricing. They better watch out though, as Santa Cruz is the new contender that matches them and even beats them on longevity (via its warranty) and price.
