Sidelined myself from MTB about 10 years ago ... back when 26ers were still common and 27.5 and 29 had just become fashionable. 🤣 Needless to say, not only have frame standards changed but so too have groupsets and suspension parts. Would this Cypher Calypso be regarded as entry level dual sus MTB by current standards.?

Thanks TRB. Having had a pink T-Mobile Giant TCR road bike, the Calypso's paint job is quite manly. 🤣

I see that some dealers advertise the Calypso as a Ladies MTB, some not. What's the opinion of the Hubbers.?

Polar still makes a good strap imo ... don't know if it's any better than any of the generic though. At the same price I'd get the Polar (which was the case the last time I needed to replace) otherwise I'd probably take a chance on the cheapest generic. With regards Ant+/BLE, suspect that's dependent on the transponder rather than the strap.

Just got some airtime on KFM news ... PPA advising to a avoid the area. Mention of 17 incidents to date.

From what I heard when passing soon after, rider was taken down by car door being opened unexpectedly. Not too sure of the extent of injuries.

Agreed. Dependent on brand and specific model. Also dependent on the individual - height is but one measurement.

Be sure of your size ... I note that the Foil is a 56 and the Cannondale a 54.

So sad. 😥 WE seemed the type who pushed the limits, on the bike and in general. RIP.

Winter training really paying off.!

Opportunists lurking all day long it seems. Busier roads don't seem to deter them.
