Pinkbike Poll - Have You Had a Near Death Experience on Your Bike?
I did something or other riding Fernie a few years ago that almost got me a broken neck but fortunately I only ended up with a busted helmet, massive concussion, a few loose teeth, pulled neck muscles, internal bleeding, and severe gravel rash. I'll never be exactly sure what happened that day, since my first recollection is lying in a hospital bed at 4:30 in the afternoon asking the nurse if my bike was OK.

That fork dive... looks like it would have been easier with a firmer fork. Awesome technical skill and balance though.

I think plastic gets a really bad rep these days. In many applications, high quality plastics have more desirable material properties than metal.

Maybe Brembo should start making MTB brakes. :D

2013 Avid Four Piston X0 Trail Brake - First Ride
When I got a set of Code 5 brakes a couple years ago, the factory bleed was awful. One of the caliper bleed screws wasn't even done up tight and it dumped brake fluid all over my rotor and hub the first time I gave the lever a good squeeze. I bled them twice myself and then had it done by 3 different mechanics at 3 different shops within a one month time period, but all 5 times they went soft within a few days. They still produce fairly good power, but spongey levers bother me.
