Microshift Advent MX Groupset One thing to note: Microshift only sells Cassette, Der and Shifter so chain and cranks and chainring will have to be found yourself.

Hii. This is great! I don't know how you guys were everywhere at once! Don't want to step on anyones toes or steal anyones thunder but it seems like the coverage is starting to slow down so I thought I would jump in. Here's a couple things I cool things I saw this year that I haven't seen covered. Unreleased Wolf Tooth Hubs It does seem to use a ratchet system, doesn't appear to have any drivetrain feedback mitigation system, will be available in straight pull or j bend and offered in the common gravel and mtb standards. And in...

I think that's sort of the point, the only metric anyone cares about is the motor. The essence of riding an eBike is what the motor gives you. The rest of the "bike" part takes a back seat. And no one seems to care, even though the slippery slope foreboding was waved away as an irrational fear

Just a hunch, but I doubt Santa Cruz is letting YouTubers/Instagramers test out new stuff... especially with Specialized tires. Willing to put money that's just a XO RSV Bullit with a wrap on it.

Dunlop Dunlop has soft-launched into MTB with four new models. Expected availability is set for early summer in the U.S. only, with MSRP still to be determined but anticipated to be in the $95-110 range. There are DH and enduro casings. The DH casing uses 2x60 TPI layers with an apex layer at the bead, while the enduro casing uses one 60 TPI layer with a smaller apex layer. The downhill casing also uses a softer rubber than the enduro casing. The tread designs are front/rear specific and share similarities with other popular designs. The rear tires are the most...

The S-Works is a full Sram build. The drivetrain was developed with Sram so it makes sense, plus the S-brands have had a long history of being tight. The Team Replica is, well, a team replica: Ohlins, Brembo, DT Swiss, etc... There's a dark grey paint job that has the same marble(?) like texture that looks pretty slick with a red Boxxer and coil.

Hahah! My local Spesh dealer said they aren’t doing a new enduro as there is no market for it anymore. Yet Henry from Quarter HP said in the stumpy video that it’s a well known secret its being in development for some time. Can’t help but feel Charlie Murray wants something longer travel for the chunky EWS tracks

Anyone who has owned automotive Brembos or even ye olde Grimeca System brakes will know how often they need a repaint due to fading from red to pink and chipping of the paint.. Hard anodizing on the other brands is a major plus (For me anyway) It would have been great if they offered the Brembo motorcycle Stylema anodised finishes.
