Like others stated - I would put this down to trail access. For myself, this is exactly what I did with the SL. It's lively enough to take place of my old trail bike (Evil Insurgent) and enough assist to replace a typical ebike (Kenevo). I live in San...more

I believe new Thomson stems use 3mm allen heads. I've always loved Thomson but the new stem bolts are horrible.

Just read it in a French accent, it will make perfect sense! 
OK so I did proof read 'most' of it but in my defense I'm pretty much half French and definitely more than halfway towards fully senile, so there you have it. Guilty as charged.
Now I'm wondering whether or not to fix it, I...more

Seems like an "OK" value when it comes to DTC models. The YT Capra 27.5 Base or the Commencal Meta AM 29 Ride offer slightly improved build kits, better geo, proven performance, and a better unboxing experience for $100 less. 70 Degree seat angle???

Great content! Thanks for the meaningful review of more affordable bikes.
One thing I would love to see — does spending 10K on a bike actually make you faster than a rig you can put together in the range of $3500-$4000? I’d absolutely love to see a review that includes timed tests in conditions...more
Liked a comment on the item Long-Term Test: Transition Scout
I've been riding a 2019 Scout for just over a year, and I agree in part with this review. It is definitely the most fun-loving bike I've ever owned. And while it's no speed climber, it's intended to party downhill. The added girth allows you to blast through chunk 130 mm has no...more

Added a comment about press release Shimano Launches Updated 2020 Footwear Line
I hear you on the blue stripe gripe. I actually went to the effort to paint it black but that ended up looking worse. Oh well. As far as the vent holes go I love them as it gets pretty hot in the desert here and most of my rides aren’t the mythical mud filled shred fests you refer to. I have a pair of old Shimano am 45s for those days.

RideWrap...any chance you could go after the OEM market and have bikes ship to the consumer with your stuff pre-installed? Or is that something places like WorldWide Cyclery or some other custom online e-tailer does?
