We carry on to ride bikes for the reason we started as it’s fun Enduro dies at a local level it becomes like gran fondo- participation event but there’s less races Festival style events with bikes, some racing and partying get bigger More e-bikes Brands reduce making 160/170/180mm bikes (enduro) as e-bikes fill this gap 120/130 bikes more popular if you ride a non motorised bike Less dh riders able to get a ride and rightly so if they aren’t good enough Less Instagram “ambassadors” with industry cuts Riding bikes will still be fun

Media starts to discuss possibility that riders are doping on non-organized ultra races (Tour Divide, etc) Cheese culture begins to infiltrate TheRadavist community like they discovered it or something. Ultra compact $300 cottage industry cheese-making kits for your monthlong bikepacking adventure become a thing.

1) New Bike Day! These are awesome any year, but I don't buy bikes that often. (Last one was 2017.) I got a Commencal Meta V5 with Ohlins, TRP, Industry9 and Burgtec parts all over it, and it's been making me ride a lot! 2) Sedona in November. 3) New trails at Greer Ranch, near where I live. The trail angels have been active! Also, the much feared and ballyhooed homebuilder construction that was supposed to destroy most of the trails still hasn't come to pass. 4) Positive Mental Attitude. I regained some PMA last year and carried it through...

1) One year on my Bosch ebike from cube that ended up being the best bike I've owned and flawless (beyond some creaking). 2) 3 weeks without the kids over summer, some big trips to bike parks and high Alps, unreal. 3) Still progressing at 41, think I've hit the biggest gaps of my life this year, in part due to modern flow trails being so easy. 4) More or less ending the year healthy after a massive concussion last year, a freak shoulder injury at the climbing gym this summer and my lower back giving trouble most of the...

1. No Strava. I toyed with it last year but I didn’t do a single Strava ride this year. Never liked bikes more and never rode better. 2. Shuttling. Rode for years with a crew that didn’t like shuttling but a friend dragged me into it just this fall and DAMN DO I LOVE DRIVING BIKES UP HILLS. I love getting dropped off but I also love driving my friends!!! 3. DT rim. I don’t even know which one maybe the ex471 but whatever the case WOW this thing saved my bike career. I can’t afford carbon hoops right now...

1. Riding more frequently, even if it meant inside and seeing the positive benefits 2. Vittoria Mazzas. Just a very solid trail tire for New England(thanks Justin). Runner up Schwalbe Radials (MM front Fat Albert rear) 3. My 9y/o “I’ll just watch” daughter bogarting the pump track and not wanting to leave, thanks Brian for supporting that. Also, her uncanny ability for instant friendships with people and scarily good memory to say hello to someone she rode with just once months later. 4. Putting myself before the trails this past season. Still dug, but needed the pedal outlet a bit...

1. Schwalbe Shredda (rear on the front) and Magic Mary (rear and/or front) radials have been awesome in the slop and then unexpected dust on my local steeps in Malvern. 2. More mates getting eebs. They enjoy it and I enjoy it. 3. Trips to Scotland - long old drive, but worth it for the natural stuff in the Cairngorms and the well built and natural stuff in the Tweed Valley. Also great to be away with mates and the main aim of biking. 4. New Levo gen 4. It's a great bike for me. 5. World Cup racing -...

1) my Turner Nitrous. First HT since the early aughts and hoo boy has that changed! I moved to Missoula from ABQ last year and having a XC/trail hardtail has made the riding tons more fun and efficient. Have been getting more on: 2) longer rides. Nice to be feeling more in shape. 3) custom tune on my Fox 36...

Timely review for me! Trying to decide between these and the Roval Traverse SLII wheels. Haven't seen any direct comparisons, would be great to hear if anyone has ridden both. Mainly interested in ride quality and dampness over anything else. Thanks!
