A deep dive on the other site had me find this unreleased article. Can't click on it but surely it can't be far away I'm unable to tell whether it's mechanical or wireless, apologies for the poor quality screenshot.

The launch video basically breaks every rule of modern advertising and I love it. "Don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle." "Don't talk about the product." "Customers don't care about specs, they care about experiences." It's just homie talking about the hub specs for 3 minutes, instead of campfire sunset B-roll and talking about the meaning of life with Christopher Walken. So much BS in the marketplace that they're able to be distinct by just being honest engineers who make better products. The narrator looks and sounds like he may have been the engineer who designed it (my brother's an...

Warden is up. Nice colors...it's a big bike for sure. https://knollybikes.com/en-ca/products/warden

And all this time I thought it was just me blowing up rear hubs! Glad to know I’m not alone. I recently built up two sets of wheels with DT 350s and they’ve been great so far 🤞 Speaking of hubs, just got an email from OneUp announcing their new hubs. They look pretty promising and I’ve had good experiences with many of their products.

Interesting note from the product pages: OneUp Hubs use a OneUp-specific ratchet and spring. You can use a OneUp Ratchet in your DT Swiss™ hub (which requires an additional spacer), but you cannot use a DT Swiss™ Ratchet in a OneUp Hub. Nice to have a cheaper and trustworthy alternative, but the OneUp ratchet is 44t. If I'm upgrading from 36t, I'm still going to 54t (insert rant about 54t not already being standard fitment).

Couple of screenshots I got from Magura’s insta..

The Mara and Mara Pro use a fixed negative spring pressure, and every review I've read has pointed to that as a glaring flaw in an otherwise decent shock package. I doubt sales have been strong for either shock, and I would not be surprised if Manitou introduced an updated version with a self-equalizing (or at least adjustable) air spring.

Can of worms opened! Yes it's recyclable, but not into its original form. Can use it in chopped strand stuff. Resin has to be burnt. Very expensive. No-one really does it. Ally can be, but uses shit loads of energy to extract in raw form. Swings and roundabouts. No-one ever quantifies the environmental damage. Chose your material and be a dick about it If you really cared you'd hang onto your current bike until it brakes and not buy another one!

Aluminum bikes are not disposable, they are recyclable. Carbon bikes are disposable and not recyclable. I heard Big S kept their aluminum bike team when some of them carbon folks got laid off. The return of aluminum is here!
