As several Posties and couriers will attest, Singletrack Towers has been pretty deserted this past week.

Those DT Swiss wheels are quite sexual

The Syphon please because I nearly bought a T140RS but 1) got wind of the discontinuation 2) work messed up my C2W voucher. So now the Syphon is an option. Being essentially bike snobby, I thought the new reduced price, single model could be "too cheap" (did I really type that?) but also I think I'd prefer mullet by intention. Does the Syphon still have the MX link mullet option?

Cool, brakes that almost but quite don't match my stanchions or shock.

Used to really like MIA, shame about her politics.

Why do manufacturers insist on changing names?

The S/T/G followed by a number gave us all the information we needed, now there are confusing names.

I could have been tempted by those DT wheels but no mullet set so I'm out.  Bit surprised they're full 29 only given they are at the more robust end of the scale.

Right now I'm trying to decide whether the DT or E13 'anti kickback' hubs would be nearly as good but less maintenance than the chain damper I already have on one bike and like a lot.
