i think the battery issues as mostly with the vivoactive series, as mentioned they warranty them without question.

Only issues I've had with Garmins is the battery life after 18 months when it just dies and it also seems to burn my wrist because of the heart rate monitor.

[tinfoil hat on] The Industry ™ is heavily trying to get as many ebikes as they can in the market. I still maintain the prices of the bikes we all know and love since always went up to make ebikes more appealing. I mean, if you're a noob, why would you get a bike if 200 bucks more gets you a battery, a motor and less effort? They're also trying to bridge the looks gap, enlarging the downtubes and the BB area. And ultimately, you find pieces like this: https://www.singletracks.com/mtb-gear/what-should-riders-call-non-elect… Where the renaming of MTBs gets thrown in the arena...

what do you think he's going to name it, "I have to produce an income by sharing the secrets that made me a millionaire downhill rider"? You think Greg Minnaar ever made a video that said "I have to develop a new bike, team, so forgive me for a couple years bad results"? I'm sure he's trying to be the...

It also makes the total amount of travel decrease by about 15mm if it does go from 3 to 2.1. This wouldn't increase bottom out resistance in any way over the 3.3-2.1 set up. It would actually decrease it if an identical amount of sag was used. If less sag then could be equal. Just kind of would make it ride like a smaller bike, which may very well be the purpose. Spring rate, shock stroke, and amount of damping is all that dictates bottom out resistance. Leverage curve just makes it feel a certain way as it uses the...

Maybe Gwin doesn't care as much about winning as he does about developing a bike, brand, and a team. Nothing wrong with that, he's still one of the best to ever ride a bike. And maybe he even finds his mojo to go crazy fast again, he's still got years.

Who's gonna win in the Enduro Class? Forbidden Dreadnought? Orbea Rallon? Norco Range? Any others? Bet the riders were happy to have bottle cages so they could stay hydrated during those long uplift queues.

I know we're in for a grand spectacle and I'm SO eager for the racing that's upon us.. But boy what I would've done to see a return of the legend between the DH-tape.. Allright that's enough off-line and what isn't, back to what is: RACING!
