Troy Lee Designs Releases 2013 Summer / Fall Bike Collection
I am en engineer, so let's get it right. Say your moto helmet has a 40mm thick crumple zone, designed to absorb the energy of your head hitting a pavement at 60mph. At 30mph, you won't use all of that crumple, so the impact is spread over less time, meaning faster deceleration of your head. As F=ma, this means more force exerted on your head (relative to the speed of the crash). A mountain bike helmet designed to crumple 30mm at 30mph (for example) will use all of that space to reduce the deceleration of your head, resulting in a smaller force acting on it and a safer brain within. Aaron Gwin, doing his usual moto speeds, is fine with a moto lid. I am a mere mortal, so I'll keep my THE One.

Marzocchi Forks Through the Years
Worse was that he seemed to think younger readers wouldn't know it. Well I worked in a bike refurbishing shop when I was 17, so it was all quill stems and loose ball bearings. And he went and got it wrong anyway...

Video: Manon Carpenter Holidays In Spain
She is a great rider and absolutely lovely but I didn't like the video. Far too effects-driven for my tastes, and stylised but lacking style

This has been my background since it was pod. Woo my opinion on a photograph is similar to those of other internet using mountain bike fans!

Liteville 301 MK10 - Tested
When you fall off the suspension becomes unloaded, so it'd be just like landing your nads on the top tube. By the way, ever actually done that on a regular bike? If no, what's the worry? If yes, it fucking hurts anyway!
