And will carry the disappointment of missing the first round(s) the rest of the season.
Big miss on such a good tool to 'drive engagement'.

5. I guess we're not getting FANTASY XC?
So disappointing going to the fantasy page every day for the last few weeks expecting something other than "coming soon".

Boone's Aluminum Cranks Look Like They're From a 1950's Sci-Fi Film - Pond Beaver 2021
@brianpark: Oh, gosh, can we get a "Can you guess the cranks by the silhouette?" article?
Could also work for stems, cantilever brakes...

[April Fools] Cane Creek Announces eeWings DIY Titanium Crankset
I got to do a prototype test of these! I think the best feature is that this allows custom variable crank arm alignment. I was able to precisely align spindle place the crank arms 182.89° rather than the standard 180° to accommodate a leg length discrepancy. This is really a boon for people looking for custom options outside of the 'standards' that the industry pushes on us.

Pinkbike Poll: How Do You Decide Which Discipline to Race?
Agree. I try to keep my risk-o-meter just below "season ending injury" and way below "career ending injury" so enduro is it for me too. You can dabble in enduro and have fun.

Pinkbike Poll: Which Alternative Suspension Manufacturer Has the Best Chance of Challenging RockShox and Fox's OE Dominance?
I agree. I think that it has to be someone expanding into the high performance realm rather than trying to extend down to the pricepoint range. I also don't see someone like Ohlins or DT Swiss being interested in being a middle/lower market brand as "premium" is part of their brand identity.

The Frace F160 is Milled From a 70kg Slab of Aluminum
@slovenian6474: Inflate the tubes! Then you only need 2-3 kg of tubes. And it'll look like an old titus.

8 XC Racer Set Up Tricks
Had a friend who was running three rotor bolts and it failed by shearing all three mounts off the hub. So even if the three bolts might secure a rotor and take braking force, the hub itself might require all six. (This was mid 2000s american classic rear hub)
