Agreed. For people like Paul Bas and Warner, the e-bike is a blessing for getting back to doing what they love and being able to ride with friends again. In crowded towns and cities, the e-commuter has a solid place for eliminating unneeded driving, but has created its own realm of problems. 13yo kids stacked three deep with scooters and skateboards on their mom’s hacked rad wagon going 30+ down a bike path is not ideal.

New here but not new elsewhere necessarily. The reviews from Vital are just so good compared to other review sites. I think it builds trust and I will be back to read/watch more when it comes time to purchase again. Ebike/non-ebike aside, the quality and depth of product review on this site is fantastic- thumbs up from me.

New Canyon Strive, will be slacker than previous. Shapeshifter looks without updates. But head tube cups are adjustable, just like latest Sender. Yout can adujst reach or even headtube angle. We'll see.

The worst thing about the Repeater is the cable routing through the headset top cup

I would bet $100 that GG is working on an e-bike. I would guess it will be pretty rad, too! They make solid products, and their in-house manufacturing will likely lend to refinements that some of the big players haven't gotten right. I'm all in for both e-bikes and bikes. Different flavors of the same rad entertainment.

Unfortunate that mtb's are contributing towards this https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lithium-copper-mining-atacama-desert Sure for ol' folks, those with health issues, or commuters that replace their cars with a ebike makes sense. For the rest, just pedal your damn bike. Greed for "more laps in less time" not a great thing for our future generations.

Why oh why are Transition using the crap Acros headsets. The amount of times I've worked on a bike (ex bike shop mechanic) with internal routing and found a rusted BB due to water ingress is laughable.

Looking forward to the day when mountain bike companies admit running cables through the headset bearings was laughably stupid and go back to cable routing that doesn't lock customers into proprietary headsets and higher maintenance costs. But unfortunately we probably have a rough few years ahead of us as companies try to push this bullshit. I thought Transition was better than that.

29" wheels put an extraordinarily larger force on forks than 26". The wheel diameter creates an additional 60mm of leverage. This is also why brake rotors have gotten bigger and brakes come with more pistons now, even for bikes that are being ridden on the same terrain. Leverage, dog.

It was on my Corsair Konig (slope bike) back in the day and did a lot of laps at Whistler, kinda funny how 32mm stanchions worked fine for everyone not that long ago.

TEAMROBOT Added a reply to Tire casings and poor line choice
3/7/2022 6:00pm Dave_Camp, I haven't used it, but Michelin makes a "Bike Park" version of the DH34, which could be just the ticket for you. The DH34 is the faster rolling of their two DH tires, and their DH casings are bombproof (1500 grams I think). As long as the bike park version doesn't use a different casing, seems like it could...

I've sat here, with crinkled brow, trying to figure out why you would be disheartened by someone taking a publicly shared image and painstakingly converting it into this image.
