8 Pro Racers React to 2027 Enduro World Cup Cancellation
I echo what some of the racers said about exposing other venues to the wider world. I would have never known to stop in Ainsa Spain 🇪🇸 for several days on my vacation without the EWS coverage. Loved that place, and have others on my list because of the race series. WBD and UCI did a disservice to the small venues out there just needing some exposure.

Pinkbike Poll: Are You a Brand Loyalist?
The only thing I am brand specific on is brakes. All my bikes have the same brand brakes. I like their feel, I have the tools work on them, and can keep spare parts that work on multiple bikes. Other than that I run what came on them for drivetrain, or whatever I feel I need for cockpit items.

Goldstone, Melamed, & Métailler Talk Cockpit Setup & Bar Width
Not to mention that 5'5 lady only weighs 130-lbs but is shown the door with two tokens in their fork. I had a similar friend that went out on a ride with my wife on her brand new bike. They got back and she had only used maybe half her travel. I immediately put it in the stand and popped that fork open and took out the tokens. Bike shop never mentioned them, and she was way happier afterward.

Pinkbike Poll: The 2025 MTB Damage Inventory
@fracasnoxteam: Best not to concern yourself. It's a horror we Americans enjoy, or endure.

Pinkbike Poll: What's a Deal-Breaker When Choosing a New Bike?
Made by Specialized. I know, I know, they make some good bikes. I just can't get over their antics in the earlier years, and don't like supporting the big guy. It's my money after all.

Video: Is Radial Really Radical? Understanding Schwalbe's New Sidewall
I was in need of tires when these came out, so went all in and put the Shredda versions front and rear on my ebike (queue the hate). They have been phenomenal! The traction is amazing, and the way they conform and mute the trail is unbelievable. Since this is on an ebike I can't speak too much to the rolling resistance, so would really be curious to trying a set of the Magic Mary's on my trail bike. For a DH rig or an ebike I think this makes total sense and well worth it.
