Thank You For Everything, Pinkbike
Your recovery articles and interviews were some of the best content I've seen in action sports, your voice will be missed.

Bike Check: Sam Blenkinsop's Zerode G3 - Red Bull Hardline Tasmania
Red or raw?! Also, 485 is pretty long for a high pivot dh bike. Definitely fine up to 6'2" or so

Burning Question: Where Do Wheel Component Manufacturers Stand on Tire Inserts?
@half-man-half-scab: From my experience, carbon wheels fail from rock-strikes, which kind of make sense. They seem super strong in more standard loading scenarios like heavy compressions, cornering, etc. I have seen carbon frames crack from loading over time, but I've seen more break from crashes where rocks impacted the tubing.
I'd be really curious to know if they track their warranty claims failure mechanisms. It seems like something they'd want to keep track of. The two WAO rims I've broken (no inserts) were just replaced with no questions asked though.

With their warranty, I would think they'd be very pro-inserts if the numbers showed that they reduce rim failures. Which, in my experience, they definitely do. Pretty interesting, actually.

@j-t-g: My anecdote is the opposite, same trails, same pressures (even a little lower with inserts sometimes), when through 2-3 rims a year without inserts, zero since using them.

Yep, haven't had to replace a rim in several years since going to cushcore. Pretty surprised WAO isn't more of an insert booster considering their warranty policy.

Pinkbike Poll: How Many Derailleurs Have You Actually Destroyed While Riding?
Yeah, I've destroyed three catastrophically, and also had a couple just get to the point that I couldn't get them to shift right anymore.
I've also had them fail where they destroyed my wheel.
