I dunno about this one. Too many quick cuts and unnecessary zoomy things happening. Too bad, as Brandon is sylish as hell. Don't need the Fast and Furious jump cuts to enjoy his riding.

Good observation! There was a recent post on Jalopnik where the journo took a stock Jeep Rubicon from the Hertz rental lot out to Windrock ORV and had a blast. Can't imagine doing that 20 years ago. Lotta good bikes these days, and a lot of capable factory-built offroaders, too.

Another great post, Cam. Despite (or perhaps because of) the myriad configurations and dizzying array of option$ on modern Porsches (That's two syllables, people. Pushes glass up.) the classic 911 silhouette just gets better and better with each iteration. What I wouldn't give for some windshield time on the Sea to Sky Highway in any 911... 

Two small observations: I had a '91 or '92 Stumpjumper M2 S Works that had a very similar paint job. I *think* it was called Black Cherry. There was a very subtle metallic red flake glint that was visible at certain angles. Second - the carbon door sill photo - isn't that the carbon trim on the dash above the glovebox? (Pushes glasses up for a second time.)

This clip showed up in my YouTube feed this week - I didn't see it here when it was first published. I've watched it several times now and I cannot get over how incredibly good it is. As a longtime rider, this is the first time in a while where I've thought that this format captures more effectively what it's like to ride. POV cams esp those with gimbals are impressive, sure, but you're view is constrained to where the camera is pointing. This is so much more dynamic, just like one's own vision when riding - your field of vision is so much wider than a camera on your chest can capture and convey. Bravo - an awesome effort.

"BB forging" to me suggests to me that it's an alloy frame. ;)

Meh. Why not pop for the Smuggler then?

Just an 'out there' thought...at what point is 'adding more material to improve durability' eclipsing the benefit(s) of carbon? That is, do these ride appreciably better than alloy like the so-called tuned carbon wheels? Or is it a product that weighs and performs the same as DT's Spline system but priced to allow a dental assistant to get into the plastic game?

I also wonder - does Keith's infamous "Strong, Light, Cheap - Pick Two" adage hold up as well as these wheels? I am surprised it was not referenced in the article. :)

Yeesh that sounds like a spendy update to bring that hub back to active duty. :(

Thanks for helping us out! One more question: is 'tool dwell' the phenomenon of the machining bit uh 'staying in place' when it should keep moving?

Can you explain a little further what you're seeing that my untrained eyes can't? :)

If you're ever on the Washington side of the border, Greg Mackenzie is the man. I think he's wrapping up a brick and mortar but you can reach him on Instagram @ButterSuspension. (His new shop space is TBD.)
