This is some superb mtb material right here. I think as the silhouettes of bikes seem to be converging on a smaller set of options, this kind of writing is more and more required in mtb-media. The durability aspects are also really fantastic reporting. Without that, this review(?) is a 9/10. With? 10/10!!

I appreciate the feedback! Planning to do more of these in the future on similar suspension platforms/frame silhouettes.

My interest has been spurred by the fact that I never got along with the Charger 3, and the difference in what I got from Rockshox and what I got back from a nationally-known tuner was about as subtle as a frying pan to the face. I was formerly in the camp of "at 210, I'm barely within the range of a stock damper and I should worry about something else." I moved without leaving a forwarding address. I've come to two central conclusions. First, I don't think the people at Rockshox, Fox, etc. aren't as smart as that tuner...

I’m sure XT is great guys, but the title of the thread isn’t “best value drivetrain” .

Hang from overhead bar as long as possible. Do it as a training regime. You all can thank me later.

There are plenty of Bernard shots just not on this post, just like there are other missing characters, it happens man sorry

Race Replay video is up!

I'm a full power long travel guy but that is the best looking e-bike yet.

PR from Kona Dear Friends, Kona Bicycles has been in the news lately. We’d love to say that it’s because the new Ouroboros is blowing everyone’s minds (because it really is that good), but truthfully, it has been a bumpy couple years. So, it’s time to print a positive headline: Kona is returning home to its roots. Dan Gerhard and Jake Heilbron have purchased the brand back from Kent Outdoors, and along with a team of dedicated, experienced Kona employees, are reuniting to keep the Long, Sweet Ride rolling. There are a lot of familiar faces here who you know...

So good! Question for everyone: Do you dig the '17 Questions' format? I always enjoyed them growing up, but that was back when getting more insight into your favorite racers/industry peeps wasn't as easy as it is now. They don't do very well on the Toob, which doesn't really matter, but I'm still curious if people are fans of the format.

Just ...spent all our money on some old folks?

Eagle derailleur was feeling left out - so I made a thing - replaces the washer on a standard UDH dropout with a "Brace" that links the rear derailleur for strength and stiffness.

This is what I do as well, never run the chain through a cleaner or soak it in solvent. Wipe clean and lube. I'm a fan of Dumonde Tech lube.
