Tested: HT Components MEO3T Pedals
I also have a year plus of muddy Squamish riding on mine. Repacked once, but didn't need to. I thought they'd be lubeless and dirty but they were pretty good after 40 or so rides. I've got a ton more riding on them and they're still perfect. Found that having a box of pins to replace is a good idea though.

Opinion: Who Owns a Trail?
Well, I don't agree with "no dig, no ride" at all. I've built and worked on my share of trails over the years, and I'd never demand that anyone dig or repair one of those trails before riding it. If it's on Crown Land, then it's good to go. Anyone who can find it should be able to ride it. I've also built access to backcountry zones for winter riding, cutting in snowmobile trails, etc. If someone has the fortitude to find their way in there, then good for them. The land is owned by all Canadians, so they are as entitled to use my trail as I am. Private land or illegal trails would be a different case, but living in the land of the free (everywhere north of North Vancouver) there really aren't too many of those.

Pinkbike Product Picks
Well, since I'm Canadian, I can justify spending a bit more on Chromag, Raceface, Devinci, etc. And I have. Love my bike and it's mostly Canadian.

Video: Darren Berrecloth On The Today Show
Yeah, that was definitely a joke. For US broadcast TV, that was a very well done piece. .

Red Bull Rampage Judging Explained
After watching the top 10 riders again, with no sound, I can't argue anyone is more than a place or two away from where I think they should have been, based on the criteria Lunchboxlarry is describing. The right guy won, and the runs and the drama were amazing. And people know they can't ride the ridge top to bottom if they hope to win a big mountain event. And Lunchbox has the balls to stand up to the critics and (I think) successfully defend the judging.

Red Bull Rampage Judging Explained
Just watched a bunch of lines again, and while I thought Norbraten was scored when I watched live, his line really didn't have the gnar factor that some of the others had. It was a little more slopestyle for sure. Such an amazing run, but I totally get what Lunchboxlarry is saying, and agree. It's not a slopestyle comp, it's a big mountain comp, and that's what makes the Rampage so sick.

Transition Bandit 26 Inch - Tested
Not sure if that was the most positive review, andyd2506. What I got out of it was: Wheels are sketchy at best, and POSs at worst, seat tube may be too high, fork sucks for serious riding, doesn't pedal standing up well, and it's kinda flexy.

KHS sixfifty 656XC Give-Away Contest - Winner
If you are a paying advertiser, you can pay to run contests like this. If you don't pay, you're breaking the rules. Basically, Facebook is so desperate for money to justify their obscene market cap and they'd probably take money from the Nazis if they thought it would help their bottom line.
