First Ride: Specialized Turbo Levo SL - The Electric Stumpjumper EVO
@fred-frod: I guess... To be honest, the difference between a 32-33lb vs a 36lb enduro bike is hardly noticeable to me.

@canned-slammin: Hey hey.... Easy there. :)
Don't be sending more people to ride in my backyard bud. The trails here in AZ are starting to get overcrowded as well. 8)

Review: TruTune Suspension Inserts Unlock More Travel
@fartymarty: This comment should have way more upvotes. All I've been hearing for the last 10 years or so is "how much air suspension has improved in recent years". I've tried a bunch of shocks/forks over the last 20 plus years of riding. And I still have to say, the best feeling suspension I've ever ridden was my Pushed Fox 36 Van/DHX-RC4 setup.

SQlab's 50X Flat Pedals Come in 3 Axle Lengths
Every pair of 5-10's I've ever owned has had excessive wear on the inside, ankle area, along with wear marks on the crank arms. And every bike I've ever owned has had wear marks on the chainstays from my shoes. These pedals aren't really ones I'd consider buying. But, I do think more companies should offer longer spindles as an option.

Brake Line Quick-Releases, Platform Pedals, & Clever Tools - Taipei Cycle Show 2023
@danielfloyd: I have actually been running Chester's for a couple of years now. They are a great inexpensive option. BUT, they definitely don't feel as "grippy" as some higher end options. Even wearing 5-10's, it's definitely noticeable. Compared to the Canfield's I was running before. Thinkin I need pedals that some people consider "almost too grippy". Like T-Mac's or Dagga's. Or just go back to riding clipless.

DVO Previews New Onyx D1 Fork
@8a71b4: The weight is negligible Most people wouldn't even notice it IMO. Let's put it this way, I went from a 160mm, 26" bike with coil front and rear. To a 160/170mm 29er with air front and rear. and they both weigh about 35-1/2 lbs, running DH tires. And as far as blowing through the travel goes. I had way more tuning time invested into getting my air suspension dialed in to where it felt supple enough without blowing through all the travel, or damn near it. Ended up having to add volume spacers, even though I only weigh about 160 lbs. But I RARELY bottomed out my coil sprung bike tbh. But hey, different bikes, different terrain and different riders who like a different "feel" I suppose. 8)

DVO Previews New Onyx D1 Fork
@tacklingdummy: Why would anyone downvote this? The old 36 coil is literally one of the best forks I've ridden in 20 plus years. A little heavy, but super plush, reliable and easy to dial in with the adjusters.

Seeing how Pivot Cycles is all about Arizona pride, I think they should offer an AZ locals discount. Jus sayin. ;) 8)
