ethanrevitch Liked a product review Keep Ya Piggies Cool - Crankbrothers Mallet Trail Speed Lace Ven
6/16/2026 7:20pm
As temperatures rise and summer riding gets underway in North America, riders looking to stay cool on long trail rides have a growing list of warm-weather gear options. The newest additions to this list are Crankbrothers Mallet and Stamp Speed Lace Vent shoes. With generous venting throughout and a sleek profile, we spent the past month logging hours to see how well they perform. Highlights Mesh upper for maximum airflow Also offered as a flat shoe (Stamp Vent) Match Outsole and Compound Low-rebound EVA midsole TPU-reinforced toe box Speed lace closure with integrated lace pocket in tongue Relaxed fit...

6/12/2026 12:29pm Angel gets a paycheck, gets to keep racing, and I would imagine helps with developing the next Aventon ebike. What's the problem?

6/12/2026 12:29pm 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.

6/11/2026 2:10pm I'm going for 100 days in the park this summer. Obviously, we've got an Unbreakable vs Mr. Glass situation going on here 😂

6/11/2026 2:00pm 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...

6/11/2026 11:02am Frameworks does riding/training on a different brands e-bike, and races on their own frame. Aventon is doing the inverse to Frameworks 😁

6/10/2026 4:15pm Surely you don't take the lift at Whistler bike park or shuttle with your buddies then? Because you're a purist, right?

6/10/2026 4:10pm Yes, it's suffering, but the wrong kind, it must feel bad from the start, not accidental. Now back to rumors!

6/10/2026 10:22am 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...

6/22/2026 10:13am 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...

6/9/2026 9:50am Anyone have numbers for how progressive the frame is? I don't think I've seen a spring ratio to travel graph anywhere.

6/8/2026 5:20pm 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.

6/5/2026 9:12am Lever throw before the bite point is going to be longer with a non-servowave lever. Non-servowave will probably feel a little less on/off, so moving away from the typical shimano light switch brake feel.

5/28/2026 1:01pm The current platform (supernought) would be an upside-down 4-bar, whereas this is more traditional 4-bar.
