Specialized Levo R Review: Does a Short Travel, Full Power eMTB Make Sense?
@mariomtblt: for fun on Genie, you might try to max LSC and bump up HSC a few clicks and it might get you some pop.

Specialized Levo R Review: Does a Short Travel, Full Power eMTB Make Sense?
@mariomtblt: I've been on my own suspension optimization journey with StEvo, and come to a similar conclusion: anyone who says you can have it all, is lying. You can't cheat the physics of energy, and the best thing is easy dials + knowledge of how to use them on different runs.

Are you riding and comparing both shocks? I agree with you based on the kinematics, but I haven't heard any Genie jump complaints before.

First Look: The Boyd Sixtus Hub Has 612 POE With Single-Pawl Engagement
This may be one of the dumbest exercises in engineering I've ever seen. Of course you can drive steady torque for 190k rotations after a clean engagement, and before your bearing starts smoking. Good luck doing that in the real world though.

Review: Yeti Goes Long With the Ultra-Adjustable LT
I'm thinking Kazimer should have tested the Medium... and while I wish there was a M/L option, a size down could make the ride more dynamic. Also, how does the biggest granny cog have the smallest anti-squat??? Pretty sure I've never seen that on a MTB, or the graph from Yeti is wrong.

Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit
Great article! As some have mentioned, wrist orientation is huge as well. Maybe I'm used to narrow road bars, but wide bars mean my body weight force angles outward, spraining my hands inward. I've gone from 800mm to 750mm, feel great, and have decreased my chances of appearing on Friday Fails!
