2020 Norco Sight – Build Your Ride - June 30, 2020, 1:08 p.m.

Thanks for the kind words, Dan. We try to produce high-quality articles, both visually and well written. Part of my 9–5 is as a product photographer, which I got into from shooting bikes and parts over the years. I'm stoked you noticed and appreciate the effort!

Öhlins' New RXF 36 Trail & TTX Air Shock - June 26, 2020, 7:25 a.m.

Hi Shinook. The RXF36 m.2 coil review went up a while ago and the air spring fork, along with the TTX Air will be up soon too. A walk through the switch from coil to air in the m.2 will be up very soon.

Yep, they work with standard and boost Fox forks. It isn't clear if that transfers to other manufacturers though.

Yeah, I'm trying to understand what it is about the shorter offset that has RRP not include it as a fit option. I'll see what I can find out.

Those fasteners look good, Mammal. I'm not gonna lie though, I'm surprised they hold solid but glad to hear there's a solution like that which works on the zip-tie version.

The Leatt Airflex Pro v. Your Best Non-Newtonian Knee Warmers - June 23, 2020, 8:11 a.m.

I second the always riding with Projects and Sam Hill pads in place. But I reckon that’s a personal thing as some folks can’t stand it, even with the same pads. Still, the 7iDP pads are real comfortable. My reviews from a couple of years ago remain true today and I’m still using both (spent all day Sunday in Projects). Leatt pads I’ve worn have been great also. There’s a good selection of quality pads available these days.

Thanks tdmsurfguy. The Spank's were the 359/350 Tuned Vibrocore. From the intro to the article: "Spank 359/350 Tuned Vibrocore but they're a full DH wheelset that weighs 2,212 grams with an XD driver."

Thanks for the correction hongeorge. I just discovered that out thanks to Tiauguinho's comment above. I'll update the highlights appropriately.

Hi Burgess. Unfortunately, Newmen have had some issues with North American distribution but they informed me that they're "planning to improve availability and partnerships with distributors in the very near future, worldwide". For now, they can be found on a selection of German sites and the conversion from Euro's to USD makes them well priced. Not sure about shipping costs or any duties/taxes landed though.
