Project321 Launch Canadian-Made G3 Hubs
If it was a traditional spring and pawl set up there would likely be additional drag when compared to other 6 or 4 pawl freehubs. But that where one of the subtle benefits of a magnetic pawl system comes into play. In a magnetic system like this, the pawls have the least amount of friction when disengaged between the freehub teeth because at that point they are not aligned with the magnetics.
Whereas in a traditional sprung system when the pawls are disengaged the springs are being compressed, forcing the pawls to essentially drag along the freehub teeth due to the spring tension.
But sure at the end of the day this could still be a negligible amount of difference.
TL;DR: magnetic freehubs have the most amount of tension/friction in the system when engaged (pedalling), where you’d want it. Verses sprung pawls which have the most amount of tension/friction in the system when disengaged (coasting), where you don’t want it.

Review: Cane Creek Electric Wings Titanium Cranks
It’s somewhat surprising that these are not offer with a lifetime warranty. Considering all the carbon parts manufacturers are able to offer it with that take way more abuse (rims etc.) You’d think a premium titanium component like this could easily last a lifetime.
I’d love to be able to justify a pair of the standard non-e bike ones. They’d be one of those forever parts I could transfer from bike to bike and titanium never goes out of style.

Red Bull Releases Statement on a Women's Category at Rampage
@BarryWalstead: to be fair Whistler Crankworx tried the “open to everyone” qualifier concept for the 07 slopestyle event and it did not go very well… If I remember correctly there were at-least two riders who were seriously injured. I remember watching it and it being nothing but absolute carnage. I can’t imagine it going any better at a rampage venue.
But that being said I think they are more than capable of inviting a list of professional female athletes to the event.

Spotted: A New MRP Air Shock?
For a second the dirt on the reservoir and body made it look like they were both made of forged carbon instead of alloy.
