24 MTB Cranks Ranked According to Stiffness
@overconfident: Agreed. Bigger doesn't always equal better.
The 24mm spindles are steel, which is a better material for a crank spindle. It also allows for larger diameter ball bearings, so they last a lot longer as well. Their preload system is fantastic as well, as is their arm clamping.

Pinkbike Poll: Center Lock or 6-Bolt Brake Rotor Mounting?
This article is bullshit due to its bias.
- zero mention of the fact that center lock hubs are lighter
- intentionally points out that 6 bolt rotors are lighter but cherry picks the heaviest possible design for the center lock rotor (taking a 6-bolt and effectively just adding an adapter.
A DT 240 center lock hubs is 17g lighter than the exact same 6 bolt hub.
Pick a rotor where they actually put an ounce of design effort into the center lock version (example - centerline X) and it's a 17g difference.
So no, 6 bolt isn't heavier unless you're cherry picking parts to feed your bias.

7.5" steerer tube (off an XL so should fit anything)

CeramicSpeed's Stolen Bikes Worth $80,000 Recovered After Suspect Visited Local Bike Shop
I remember working in the bike shops when a guy came in with a bike, asked us to remove a set of perfectly fine clipless pedals, install the cheapest plastic flat pedals we had in stock, and told us just to throw out the clipless pedals.
Sometimes you just know.
