It's not 11 speed we need, just the range of 11 speed, that 42 tooth ring on the cassette and the clutch, still moderately happy as I ride so much I ruin derailleurs every few months, so prefer the cheaper options like X7.

My Giant contact switch also has 100mm of travel, but limitless height adjust. This has a horrendous looking lever and is untested. I can't see that this post is what the market wants.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the market wants...

-5 inch or more travel.
-limitless height adjust
-Compact lever
-stationary cable
-no play in the post
-reliable
-user serviceable

Great, but I want to watch this online worldwide the same way I do with world cup DH. Red Bull TV or some other way would be ideal.

DJ fork and bombproof do it all fork.

Rating:

The Good: Strong, great looking easy adjustments, not heavy for a DJ fork, very rigid axle that inspires confidence

The Bad: Make longer travel versions!

Overall:

If you are male and drink beer and you want a 100mm travel fork this is your fork of choice. Nothing beats it for 100mm. If they made a longer travel version, I'd use it for AM/FR too!

Good design,very mediocre execution

Rating:

The Good: Looks cool, small size

The Bad: Rails bend, not very comfortable

Overall: SDG board room: 'I've got an idea! Let's get a factory in China to make all our saddles for like $2, spend a bit on marketing and then sell them for like $50 each, making a fortune from unsuspecting cyclists'.

Sad.

All I wanted was a moderately light, moderately comfortable, durable saddle that doesn't get in my way when I don't need it. But I got a saddle that has weaker rails than a random bargain bin seat. I feel pissed off, go screw yourselves SDG.

Good value, strong, attractive stem.

Rating:

The Good: Nice colour choices, 40 mm, zero rise, stiff,

The Bad: None found

Overall:

I've had a bunch of different stems in the past. I like zero rise short stems that are tough, fairly light and look good. This stem works for me. I have a comparable (in price, length and rise) Truvativ Hussefelt stem and I much prefer the machining and anodised finish on the spank.

Also comes with matching top cap which makes it even better value!

A solid piece of functional bling

Rating:

The Good: Great bar, good color. Nice sweep, available high rise.

The Bad: Could be a bit garish on some builds.

Overall:

This bar has been growing along with fashion over the past few years, 710, 740 and now 762. Personally I like 40-50mm rise and about 730mm wide, so this bar suits me fine. I have an Easton Havoc on another bike and I prefer the stiffness and sweep on the the Spank.
