Mine is completely silent... but it’s cuz I cant afford one

Y'all think Reece will stay at Trek? Dude is killing it this year, but Im calling him to move to Syndicate. Nothing behind it, just think it would be cool.

In the last few years the e-bike category of mountain biking has continued to fill out and evolve, offering an impressive variety of specifically designed machines for almost every niche rider preference. With most models maintaining the heavy-yet-stable, motor-up-everything feel we’ve come to expect from pedal-assisted bikes, anyone who’s spent time aboard an e-bike has daydreamed of applying just the benefits of some motor assist to their mountain bike. A perceived unachievable blend of broader climbing potential matched with the agile, bomb hole smashing descending elements of a modern 160-170mm bike that blurs lines between assist and human-powered machine. Well...

Long time lurker, first time poster. Sad that this is what inspired me to finally pitch in. This is total BS. This is total conjecture, based on nothing. Consider that this is precisely how people like Weinstein got away with their shit for so long. Erode somebody's reputation by implying that they're difficult to work with. I know you're not responsible for her contract, but come on. Consider how hard people here worked to defend the reputation of a well known male pro recently. And he actually did something worth criticizing! But based on nothing, you're going to speculate that...

Well said and thank you for saying it.

Another suggestion for getting weight on the front wheel: a longer stem. I'm not advocating people go crazy and throw and 90mm behemoth on the front of their bike, but switching from a 35/40mm stem to a 50, you'll likely find it much easier to weight the front wheel with the same stack height.

Amaury and Jordi are going to be awesome together.

Still wondering about Katy Winton... I haven't even seen a rumour pop up about here, so their either playing it cool or things are weird for her. She's one of my fav riders in the EWS in general since she's clearly having so much fun out there and can't absolutely shred.

And that is why I opted for the Norco Optic with full XTR for my short travel bike, which cost less than both of these bikes. Only about 1 kg heavier than them and that's including oneup flat pedals, ARC30 Al wheelset, DD rear w/DH hucknorris insert, EXO+ front w/reg hucknorris insert, oh and a oneup bashguide, although it's only on by the two tabs provided on the optic (still don't understand their logic on that one!). Plus, I like having the aluminum stays for the rock abuse new england trails have to offer. I think a comparison of the...

Moir is looking so good on canyon and Charlie and trek have been good for another. Pretty sure deanos has been injured but I think Scott’s bikes are probably better than intense at this point. It all worked for everyone in end. But i agree most fans preferred the yt mob and intense teams before the change. Also agree moir had to deal with the biggest setbacks as result

Um, we covered it in here that Gwin had the rug pulled from under him regarding YT, he was literally having dinner with the CEO during worlds, talking about how it's a matter of days to sign the contract, then something like next week he was told the programme is done. And then they decided to continue (in a smaller capacity with Angel only or something like that). He scrambled and did the deal with Intense, wreaking havoc in the Intense Factory Racing team that was running Sram gear with Jack Moir, Dean Lucas and Charlie Harrison, with the latter...

in my line of work a common approach that's utilized is called bookending - we'll test/validate at the lower & upper limits of pertinent product features/parameters (such as geometry & size) - ie the worst cases - and rationalize not having to test the sizes in between based on having tested the lower and upper extremes. this is approach is commonly accepted by regulatory bodies and standards organizations (like ISO, etc).
