Opinion: The Big Short - Smaller Wheels Don't Require Shorter Chainstays
@pmhobson: you are on the right track but stopped to early. For example, I have shoes size 13. If I ride a 26” dirt jump bike my heels and therefore my weight is way back behind the rear axle. Rides strange, more like a unicycle than my beloved trail slayer. That’s a completely different riding experience compared to someone with size 9shoes for example. Addressing this issue with Frame sizing isn’t a perfect solution either as for example short riders sill could have massive feet…

New Apparel & Accessories from Oakley, Leatt, Lazer & More - Eurobike 2023
@Aem221: I like my bikes very long, in turn my body position is very stretched out meaning my upper body is mor horizontal than vertical. With said 2018 fox helmets I could not ride without looking at the underside of the visor on downhills rather than at the trail ahead since my neck has limitations when it comes to bending. Every riders position on bike is different, depending on bike body type so a little adjustability can take care of that with no disadvantage other than making it harder for the designers to achieve the contemporary integrated look we got used too today. But you probably prefer cars with seats that are not adjustable too hoping the manufacturer got just right for you…

Eurobike 2023: Exciting Products from European Manufacturers - Part 1
@vina: plenty of excellent heat conducting double sided tapes around these days. Commonly used in electronics. Like fins or some other sort of sink on the processor of every laptop made in the last 20 years. Getting heat out of cell phones. Stuff like that. You are inventing a problem where non is and your solution is not grounded in reality. Thanks for the suggestion.

All those new full face helmets and not one has a visor that lets you adjust the angle *facepalm* Did any of these get tested or is everyone just brainlessly copying the 2018 Fox designs?

Lezyne Release Taipei Plugs to Save Your Tyre (And Your Wallet) - Taipei Cycle Show 2023
I had two bikes stolen from me in recent years. One while living in LA and another one in SF. I found both posted on Craigslist for sale later. On both bikes all the accessories like, bottle cage, handlebar, seat and pedals where either modified or swapped with what I assume where parts from other bikes the same people stole. A friend of mine’s bike got stolen in San Francisco, he had an tile on it. We where able to locate the tile, got police to go to the place but they could not enter the house and therefore found nothing. Only spooked the thiefs or what I assume where stolen bike wholesalers and the bike was never seen again.

Lezyne Release Taipei Plugs to Save Your Tyre (And Your Wallet) - Taipei Cycle Show 2023
To permanently repair a tubeless tire, even on trail, simply cut an old tube into about 3mm-5mm wide strips. Befor stuffing them into the hole. generously coat them with vulcanizing glue from a patch kit. Applying them in the same way you would apply a bacon strip. Clip the ends sticking out and your tire is permanently fixed right on trail. The little tube of glue and some rubber strips easily fit most containers like the ONE-UP EDC tool meant to hold bacon. FYI: this is not some crazy Hack I came up with, this was the official way Hutchinson recommended when they developed the true tubeless (UST) tire-rim system. They even sold kits like that but just like the whole ust system, even though it was really really good, this way of fixing tires is mostly forgotten now.
