Video: The New Crans-Montana XC World Cup Course Is A Piece of Art - A Very Technical One
@danstonQ: Nice trqck, but: it is missing a ginormous river gap with loads of scaffolding. If it had one, they could take it out short notice before the start…

Ari Releases Updated Cascade Peak Aluminum Trail Bike
I think it looks okay! Two bottle mounts, no funky stuff. Would take it for a demo for sure…

First Look: Fair Bicycle's Drop Best Offset Saddle Clamp is Universally Compatible
This is absolutely a cool product! The price is fair, for people who would upgrade to a different frame, because of too slack a seat angle. I owned at last four bikes in the past which I might have kept if they had a steeper STA. In fact I wished for exactly this product a couple of times. I am long-legged though and my current frames are steep enough...

Review: Lewis LHT Ultimate Brakes - Clones or Contenders?
@betsie: another question is, do you know who you would chose to "work" for, if you were a worker? The Chinese electronics manufacturer or the local company?

Throwback Thursday: 7 Bikes Turning 10 in 2024
I used it for a couple of years and it worked great. If the inner "tires" were also tubeless and a bit wider (because the procore ones were for max 25mm id, but everyone changed to 30mm id shortly after the launch) I think it would still be around.
It let´s you get away with seriously low pressures and no pinch flats on light tires. In wet / wintery conditions there was a noticeable improvement in traction.
Sealant clogging the special valves was my only issue. Replacement cost then let me transition to fat downhill tires with lots of sealant and no insert. Rolling speed suffers a lot with dh tires, my bike feels sluggish. Sketchy tires only make sense in light bikes though :-)

18 Bikes That Could Be Updated in 2024
On the Scott website they explain their new Nude Float X rear shock, for gravity oriented bikes. Yet when you click on "bikes with this shock", they don't list any. All the Geniuses have the Nude 5T, which is like a DPS with remotes...

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Mountain Bike of the Year Winner
It’s cool, finally a modern enduro bike with three chainrings, one bigger and two smaller, yet it only has 12gears. It’s carbon, but still heavy and has three batteries, but is „acoustic“.
It looks old-school, but is new-school expensive.
You can shred it mellow, but lose the chain like you shred it proper and might even get your warranty claim denied, because you didn’t ride it as intended.
It’s a shame they didn’t route the cables through the headset, though.
Oh and it sort of looks like a session.
Joking aside:
I’d like to demo it, but wouldn’t buy one for several reasons. (I service my own bike, pivots etc.)
I can understand how it is awarded bike of the year. The headline on the Ibis is just too short ;-)
