Pinkbike Poll: How Many Derailleurs Have You Actually Destroyed While Riding?
not letting me count shimano alivo from the 90s is cheating.

GCN+ to Close as Warner Bros. Discovery Looks to Consolidate Streaming Services [Updated with Information from WBD]
@mi-bike: while i now see that it's correct, and acknowledge that i'm on pinkbike, silent downvotes [i]are[/i] a bit gauche when it's not an obvious troll.

GCN+ to Close as Warner Bros. Discovery Looks to Consolidate Streaming Services [Updated with Information from WBD]
@iamamodel: if i had to guess, i'd bet it's literally they think it's not a typo, they didn't fully read the sentence/my comment and think about it long enough to parse the difference. the context of the sentence does make it a bit harder to spot, i had to read it a couple times to make sure it was indeed an error. Or it's not a funny joke, therefore bad comment. edit: actually reading it a 5th time, With is actually correct, it's just awkward sentence construction. "yet to emerge" technically makes "With" correct, but "without a clear understanding of how World Cup racing will be accessible next year," is probably clearer and more concise.

@jessiemaymorgan there's a typo at " With a clear understanding of how World Cup racing will be accessible next year yet to emerge" assume that should be a "Without"

Red Bull Announces Hardline Series Dates in Tasmania & Wales
to those of you that are asking if they've ever done it: basically every time another race series became popular enough to threaten them. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/UCI-Clarifies-Rule-on-Unsanctioned-Races.html This one was targeted at Enduro IIRC, but they also targeted marathon racing when 24hr races were getting momentum for a national series in the US, gravel, etc. In all fairness it's been a winning strategy for them in the past, why would they stop?

Katy Winton Reveals Uncertain Future as a Full-Time Racer
especially given that [i]actually selling[/i] the bikes seems to not really be enforced, so there's very little need to put a big investment into a production run.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Shop Tools
@SoCalTrev: Because the last time i took a fork into a shop for this, the tech mostly worked on road bikes, didn't know they were removable(on a lot of modern road bikes they're molded into the carbon fork) and did it with a screwdriver anyway before i realized what he was doing. People like to ascribe a [i]lot[/i] of talent and care to people who work at a bike shop for minimum wage or just above. I'm not saying good techs don't exist, but people tend to minimize how much of a crapshoot it can be taking bikes into shops for anything but basic maintenance.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Shop Tools
i both know a home mechanic who owns one (he bought out the tools of a shop that was closing down) and really like the razor blade idea, as i had never heard of it before, but it's also probably relevant to mention that we're no longer in the bad old days of every headset having it's own, weird parts. crown races generally go for less than $10 bucks, and very often, you can find a split one for sale that's the right size for your lower headset bearing, even if the one that came with it originally isn't split.
