Ask Pinkbike: Supportive Pedals, Fork Upgrades, Dropper Choices
@Untgrad: Interesting. I always thought spacers would make releasing easier since they lessen the contact/pressure between the pedal body and shoe. I don't think I was using spacers with the HT's, maybe it was just a bad shoe/pedal combination.

Ask Pinkbike: Supportive Pedals, Fork Upgrades, Dropper Choices
@bman33: I found HT a little too "secure". Somewhat difficult to release normally and then had them fail to release in a crash ending up with a sprained ankle. Could have been just bad luck but I'd never had that with Shimano or CB.

Reserve's New Aluminum Wheels Come With a Lifetime Warranty
A lot of people go through 1-2+ (or +++ for racers) rims per year. It starts making a lot of sense in that case. Sure if you're breaking a rim every 15 years it might not be very appealing for you.

First Look: Race Face's Era Carbon Cranks Are Guaranteed For Life
@dcaf: My wife bought a second hand bike with RF carbon cranks. Same thing happened but no warranty obviously since they were used. I'd avoid any used bike with RF carbon cranks or ask for a discount to cover the inevitable replacement in a few months.

I think I saw someone riding this in Bromont recently? Thought it was some sort of Pole but way cooler looking!

Bike Check: Laurie Greenland's Santa Cruz V10 Mullet Race Bike
That spring rate is exactly what SantaCruz recommends for a 70kg rider. Not particularly stiff.
