    Just $400 to fall backwards during pinch climbs. I hate that I want this, but not for $400.

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    Truly a fml moment today. Riding back up to the top I hear a squeaking sound. I think, that's odd and bounce to see if I can pin point it. Sounds like breaks. Get off squeeze and push to see if anything is stuck there.... nope not the breaks. Find a rock perfectly wedged between my stanchion...

    Can't argue with this. Their current pricing pits them against specialised and the boutiques. But they used to be priced against nukeproof which was where their value rep came from. At least back in 2019.
