Not going to lie, I got Lewis brakes and ran them all last season and they've been amazing. More consistent and better modulation than my Shimano brakes and more than enough power to stop my 270lb self on Squamish slabs and dh tracks throughout Alberta and BC. No leaks. No sticky pistons. Easy to bleed. I didn't go out of...

I know there's already a bunch of info on it, but looks like Ritchie Rude was racing on the new Fox USD fork at the Squamish Enduro on the weekend.

I was talking to the owner of Unreal about a month ago and it sounds like he's got a legit plan. He owns the property/building so he won't have to worry about renting a space. It will be a multi-use facility, primarily focused on bikes, but also have climbing, licensed restaurant/bar, etc. I think he said there will be something...

Not gonna lie. I didn't have a good understanding of stack (or ever really paid attention) until this winter when I swapped frames from a 2020 Slayer (xl) to a Madonna V2.2. On the Slayer, I had trimmed the steer tube on my Zeb, but still used a bunch of spacers. On the Madonna, I can barely fit the same...

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but is there any reason bike companies haven't partnered with Garmin/Wahoo/etc to make an integrated head unit with GPS/activity tracking/power meter/etc?

It's not about me not valuing my safety, but rather about the cost of stuff. So many helmets that go on sale on a regular basis, there's no way I'm spending $240 on any helmet (maybe a full face?). When I find something that fits properly, I'll wait until it goes on sale. For example, POC has 40-50% off sales...
