Handup Releases Affordable, Stretchy, Adventure-Ready MTB Jeans
Their jorts are solid and not hot. I've done NUE hundred milers in July in them. Nice abrasion resistant cover for your chamois, grit doesn't work its way in plus 99% of people think it's awesome/hilarious/whatever and 1% of people are so annoyed by your existence it eats them to their very core and they have a meltdown, which is extraordinarily entertaining.

Review: Shimano XT Linkglide - Here For a Good Time AND a Long Time
I've become a huge believer in 11 spd XT M8000 derailleur with SRAM XG-1150 all steel XD driver casette. Shifter/derailleur/casette and KMC x11 chain all together is less than $200 US. It's light too, really light. Like same weight as 12spd XTR light. I've got about 3000 miles on the mtb with this setup and over 10000 on the gravel bike with grx600 11 speed shifter/XTm8000 mech/tanpan/XG-1150 casette. It's incredibly durable

Reader Story: How Much Traction Does a New Tire Buy You?
New front, move old front to rear. Works great if you run the same tire f/r

First Look: Transition TransAM Steel Hardtail
Pipedream sirius? Similar pedal giddyup as sherpa, definitely a bit more plow capable even with 120mm

Trek Releases 5 New Clipless Pedals
These look pedals are pretty good. I unintentionally clip out on shimano pedals and then can't get out in rock gardens when I need to. These are the opposite. No surprise clip outs, but I swear you can exit straight sideways without twist as a last ditch while going down. Downside, bearings only last about 3k miles. So I buy the base 60 dollar version twice a year.

The 2024 Berria Mako Uses An Internal Shock For XC & DC
It does seem silly gormost of us. But then realize UCI XCC avg speeds are nearly 22mph and routinely see speeds in the mid 30s, faster than your local hitter road ride. Makes sense for that application.

Thibaut Daprela Breaks Scaphoid at Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2023
@diggery: it's funny you bring this up
Similarly, about 9 months post scaphoid fracture, mine showed the dreaded signs of necrosis. After consulting with two ortho, the course of action was...nothing. It dies. Body decomposes and removes it. Maybe you have some increased risk of OA, but keep your wrist strong and it's probably fine. Idk, it's been 4 years since and no issues

Entry List for the Glentress XC World Champs 2023
Zero hate on e bikes. I think they are cool and an awesome way to expand your trail riding. But e bike racing is dumb. Not talking e moto, that'd be cool. But eXC...lame...those riders just can't compete with normal XC pros. eEnduro? Still slower than the pros. eDH? Why. So dumb
