The newest additions to this list are Crankbrothers Mallet and Stamp Speed Lace Vent shoes.

But the Saints were and are better than the Codes, and they haven't changed since 2012

I've even heard rumors that Red Bull doesn't actually make helmets either

Angel gets a paycheck, gets to keep racing, and I would imagine helps with developing the next Aventon ebike. What's the problem?

Aventon is cool in my book. Sponsoring Tippie and Angel and making a quality, reasonably priced ebike. Sounds better than one more super posh boutique brand making a product that costs five figures.

Name a more annoying sound than an American complaining about ebikes. Honestly, we've all heard your opinions before. We know you have them. I don't really like or want an ebike either but there are 12,000,000 whingy comments online about how you're too pure or too dedicated or too fit or too angry at unskilled riders and you're mad about it. We don't need any more. Talk about the market or discontinuation of normal bikes, sure, but complaining about being passed on a climb track or peoples ass cracks is tiring af at this point. You've been yelling about it...

Frameworks does riding/training on a different brands e-bike, and races on their own frame. Aventon is doing the inverse to Frameworks 😁

Yes, it's suffering, but the wrong kind, it must feel bad from the start, not accidental. Now back to rumors!

you guys are just shocked at these racks! Am I missing something? It’s just a rack set for their existing bike? Great!l, fine! You fragile fundamentalists… They look like sick racks. Dudes in the ad roasted up to a hut, removed the racks, ripped some trails, drank some beers, slept and ripped home the next day? I’m cool with it, that’s exactly what I like to do! E-bikes are beyond perfect for that mission. The worst ebike is miles better than the best pedal bike. Figuring out how to get laps on laps on laps of my favorite trails was...

just got a note from norco - frame-only pricing in U.S. is now $2,399 instead of $2,999 They said, " Thanks to lower tariffs impacting our US pricing than originally forecasted, we were able to adjust pricing on the Torrent DH framekit in the US."

I can share an example of flip chips for wheel size done poorly because I owned a 2024 trek session for a year. Based on the geo numbers, the bike was clearly designed around a 29" rear wheel, but Trek marketing decided that sure, you can throw a 27.5 rear wheel on it as long as you put it in...

Exactly! My buddies Trek Session had internal and external routing. The internal was admittedly kind of jank but the external was super nice when he decided to buy different brakes halfway through a bike park trip last summer. Let’s follow Trek bike industry. I love my Forbidden but unsure why they couldn’t have put a couple zip tie tabs on the outside just like the Supernought to give me the option.

The current platform (supernought) would be an upside-down 4-bar, whereas this is more traditional 4-bar.
