All

My dude.....we old (I turned 51 last week).

Saw "LeBR:ON" on the other site's comments and had a good chuckle.

Outside labs? Any more info on it? As for dogma, it's normal for people to hold to their convictions which is where dogmae come from. Finding out you've been wrong, even when proven wrong, is often a tough cookie to swallow. Too many people do not want to do that. But my god is the feeling of realizing you CAN have it better a good one. But it's still an uphill battle to get there every single time.

What are the similarities and differences between the E13 sidekick and the WRProducts DTSwiss 0 drag internals? If this has been covered feel free to flog me.

If this is correct, it leaves a big hole in the sizing and that hole is where the majority of adult males in the US would be. IIRC average height in the US is 5'9" for adult males which equals to somewhere around a 470ish reach give or take depending on body proportions. Seems like a big oversight if true.

those hybrid type e-mtb's make sense, would be good for adventuring on fire roads (ours are rough AF) and generally good for getting older people on bikes. I'm all for it. Re: Shakeweight on a hardtail, I was thinking about this the other day. My Torrent would be incredible with a bit of sting taken out the back.

you can, although, say that it's dumb to have 40mm reach difference between Medium and Large especially if an in between would be the number that fits most people according to statistics no?

6 bar = king crab

Why does the Rail+ look like something old people would ride on the bike path next to a river on a sunny weekend day also can we please call Horst link bikes „crab link“ from now on it is fantastic

evo leaked the geo for the vala! https://www.evo.com/santa-cruz-vala-mountain-bike-size-chart

"We know our e-bike customers don't care or even know what VPP is so here's a bike that says SANTA CRUZ on it." (Am I too cynical?)

I'll just leave it here.

The real reason for in frame storage....

New Santa Cruz Ebike Bosch Without VPP

Don't you people have your tools in bags in the frame storage? I have zero rattle in there if I use the bags the frame came with. Maybe you just drop a few allen keys in there idk.

I’ve got two bikes. A 130/140 bike built up light for moving fast and a 150/160 for getting rowdy. At this point I have essentially identical tool kits in each bike so I don’t have to think about switching stuff back and forth and forgetting or losing something.

I couldn’t disagree more! After having a couple bikes with frame storage, it’s a must have feature for me. It gets oppressively hot here in Georgia for a good chunk of the year so wearing a backpack is a no go. I was an early adopter of the hip pack to keep stuff off my back. Previously that meant strapping stuff to my frame. But that leaves your tube exposed to the elements and there’s nothing worse than needing a tube and finding out it has a hole worn in it. Now, I can fit my whole fix it kit...

Out of curiosity, within the bike industry are embargo dates/times also restricted information under embargo? I listen to a few podcasts with automotive journalists and they fairly regularly talk about when they will be allowed to talk about things.
