My 2020 cover went missing so bought a rubbery 3D-Printed one that attaches with cable ties and its way better than the stock one, it seals nicely so stays closed and doesn't fall off. I bought it from here and can definitely recommend it: Cube Stereo Hybrid Charge Port Cover

I have MT7's on my Inspired Fourplay with grey pads (mt5 style pads because less pad rock) and 180mm rotors and they are perfect for that, tons of bite and holding power that's perfect for Street Trials and if you are...
I'd like to see bike models be offered in both wheel sizes. I love 27.5 and would hate to be forced into 29" just because a manufacturer decides it would be better for me.
I don't need a 29", I look ridiculous on a 29", and I don't want a 29" so my emtb choices are quite limited currently.
