First Look: Deity Releases New Stems, Grips, & Pedals
These Supervillain pedals are bad news for me, being both a huge MF DOOM fan and a notorious compulsive buyer of flat pedals.

How to Watch the 2024 Mountain Bike World Cup [Update: Staylive Offering Access in New Zealand, South Africa & More]
Loud and clear "NOPE" from Canada.
Been following the World Cups since DIRT Mag, then Freecaster, then RedBullTV, then I paid for GCN+ last year...but that's the end for me. Sadly, it's not even a difficult decision.

Akta MTB Launches 24 Trail Collection
I bought Akta pants and shorts last year. I never wore anything else (for riding) from the moment I got them.

Propain Release New Sresh CF eMTB
@og-squid-mtb: Crazy indeed. We need to keep reminding them until that headset cable routing nonsense dies for good and we never hear about it again.
It blows my mind seeing that some companies are still trying to push this useless standard when it is crystal clear that nobody wants it.
It sucks to see Propain in on board with this madness. I love their bikes and they'd be on my short list for my next bike if it wasn't for headset routing. There is absolutely no way I will consider getting one until they get back to more standard internal routing or (even better) full-external cable routing.

Propain Release New Sresh CF eMTB
Fun fact: The only way they managed to get that "all smiles" beautiful sunset picture was to instruct the models look away from the headset cable routing on the bikes.

Feedback Sports Celebrates 20 Year Anniversary with Limited Edition Pro Mechanic Repair Stand
I've had my Ultimate Pro workstand for about 20 years and it is still working perfectly. I'll buy another one right away if my current one ever breaks.

First Ride: The 2024 Pivot Switchblade Gets Updated, Not Overhauled
@AddisonEverett: Agreed. I have never owned another frame/bike with a quality comparable to my 2013 Mach5.7c.
It's unfortunate that Pivot went SB157, while I settled on Boost148 for the whole fleet. If it wasn't for SB157, I'd probably still own a Pivot these days.

Pinkbike Poll: How Many Derailleurs Have You Actually Destroyed While Riding?
In the past 10 years: None.
Before that: Too many to count.
In my experience, the destroyed derailleur issues ended when 11sp XX1 came out. I have absolutely no problem with using derailleurs, provided they are from the upper-tier. I once got a "self-tweaking" NX derailleur on a rental bike: I always ended up with a crooked derailleur after a few runs, without direct impacts on it...just from riding the brake bumps in Saalbach! :)

Nordest Announces Britango MK3 'Downcountry' Hardtail
Agreed. I also find the ST too long on all sizes.
I am 5'7" (170cm) on a medium Honzo ESD and I really like the 380mm ST. I would't be able to fit a 180mm on a 410mm ST bike and this is a big negative for me. Not necessarily a show-stopper, but close.
