That fair enough they can cause knee issues for sure.

There's a very easy solution to your feet slipping off pedals and not having enough grip........Clip in!!! #preparingforthebacklash

Orange Bikes' Michael Bonney Seriously Injured in Road Crash
I really hope he makes a full recovery, it's shocking news. Also people need to have a little more respect when criticising road biking for been unsafe. All sports have their risks and people do sports like road biking and mountain biking out of love and passion as with all sports. So please respect that and wish Michael a speedy recovery and give his family the best of wishes.

Video: Shaun Palmer "The Miserable Champion" Full Mountain Bike Segment
I can stand Shaun Palmer, I couldn't then and I can't now! Motor cross gear would have come into DH 4x etc without his influence it would have been natural progression. There are much better roles models for people now and back then like Steve Peat, Jason Mcroy (RIP) Myles Rockwell, John Tomac, Nico Vouilloz, Cedric Gracia etc. This guy just brought a load of cocky attitude with his brash American personality with no staying power! Racer like Steve Peat and Cedric Gracia are still racing today!! Now that's staying power!!

First Look: General Lee Wide-Range Cassette Adapter
Fair play guys. Single ring is definitely the way to go now and good too see people pushing the boundaries of what's possible!! Once this has been sorted so you get super smooth shifting you can kiss goodbye to the crappy looking front mech and shifter. #keeppushing

Race Face SIXC: Behind The Machine Shop Walls
Brilliant!! so this £600 product is an FRO product. I know two riders who have owned the Intense 951 'FRO' and both of them have snapped them within 12 months! It's a lot of money to spend on a product that you clearly don't have the confidence in to warranty it for a lifetime. Also if the rubber 'boots' are there to prevent cosmetic damage and are not really needed, then why have a read reviews to the opposite. If they are there for 'cosmetic' reasons then put them on all your cranks not just carbon ones. Time will tell but I suspect there will be plenty more pics on the net of these new SIXC cranks that have failed....just like there is of your previous SIXC ones.

Race Face SIXC: Behind The Machine Shop Walls
Yep. I'm sure it will get even scarier in the none too distant future with companies experimenting with carbon......Carbon mtb stems!!! Thomson is a product I swear by along with renthal. I have just put the Renthal Fatbar Lite on my 4x bike. Renthal are the only people I would trust making a light weight bar. Renthal chainrings are an incredible peice of precision engineering and I wouldn't swap my Thomson 50mm stem for anything!! By the way I am loving the "below the threshold" status I keep getting. Keep it coming!!

I have owned race face bars and atlas FR cranks and there are flawless and I would purchase them again. If the carbon cranks are as good as you say then why do you only warrant them for 3 years instead of a Lifetime? Also why do you put rubber bungs at the end of the crank arms???
