First Look: Lapierre’s New XR Rejects the Standard XC Blueprint

666 HTA-great! Only one bottle cage mount? I can live with that-my Sniper only has one. Cable tourism? Hard pass!! If bike companies went back to English threaded BBs en masse (and I never had a single issue with a press-fit bb) because of feedback from places like PinkBike, bike companies need to listen to us on this one. You're already making bikes obscenely expensive. Go ahead, tack on a few ports for cables and charge us a little more. Please.

Pinkbike Poll: Have You Upgraded Your Handlebar?

The industry needs to just pick one size-and preferably 31.8. There is zero advantage to 35mm bars, but they became common because they "look better" on bikes where frame and forks are larger diameter.

KHS Bicycles Announces It Is Shutting Down

This is a way bigger bummer than some small boutique brand hawking 15k bikes with Vietnamese carbon frames closing down. KHS made decent affordable bikes from MTB to track bikes-and they were often one of the brands a new bike shop would/could bring in.

Avinox Issues Statement on eBike Power, Speed, and Safety

If you add power but limit speed-that speed is a handful of lines of code away. If a car's ECU can be unlocked, so can the much simpler ECU for an ebike's powertrain. Avinox's argument is disingenuous, self serving, and factually incorrect.

Wolf Tooth Launches Locked-In Bar Ends with Joe Breeden

@YtRwJ82V: Rock climbing builds a lot of grip strength, but without the jostling/vibrtation/impacts of DH riding. While the general conditioning provided by rock climbing can be valuable, what Breeden was doing training was training specificity-replicating the actual conditions he experienced in competition. Just like CrossFit does NOT make a person good at every other physical activity, the (relatively) static grip strength developed from rock climbing does NOT condition a cyclist (or motorcyclist) for the jarring they experience gripping a handlebar.

Wolf Tooth Launches Locked-In Bar Ends with Joe Breeden

This is an interesting insight into just how hard gravity racing at the pro level is. And I'll try a set of these on the big bike now.

Wolf Tooth Launches Locked-In Bar Ends with Joe Breeden

He's a serious pro athlete. He's done the training. WC DH tracks are brutal to ride, even worse to race on. Would you tell a pitcher that their shoulder issues are also because they don't rock climb?!

Future Secured for Paragon Machine Works After Buyout of IP & Assets

These days almost every high-end bike (and everybody on Pinkbike is riding a high end bike) is built in Asia by a handful of factories. PMW was one of the companies that made it possible for small, North American companies to build their own frames instead of just doing marketing and design. Hopefully Firsthand continues this legacy of providing the essential small parts and fittings to keep that legacy alive.
