Race Face Releases Roll-Up “Stash” Tailgate Pad

My hopes is it packs down small enough to fit in an airline bike bag. For some airport rental shenanigans.

Pinkbike Poll: What MTB Upgrades Do You Regret Spending Money On?

@preston67: I've been a long time cc fan, with a helm,kitsuma, hellbender 110 rounding out the build. But my eewings had constant issues coming loose. They've since changed the bolt config since launch but they're just sitting in a parts bin now. Maybe it's worth reaching out to cc again.

Pinkbike Poll: What MTB Upgrades Do You Regret Spending Money On?

Man my eewings suck. Cane creek was less than helpful in providing any meaningful support to add insult to injury.

Review: 2026 Trek Fuel LX / MX - The Secret Menu Option

Treks specs/photos/press bikes don't really match up with what's being offered. They likely just wanted to push the bike out and deal with specs later. Lx bikes come with the old 36 not the 38, rockshox bikes come with a deluxe not a super deluxe. If you buy a 9.9 now you get the outgoing carbon wheels not the new wheels they have in the photos.

Review: Fox's New Speedframe RS is Virginia Tech's Top Rated Helmet

I mean that was the first forefront over a decade old. I don't think they even published their findings until 2018 and that lid was already 4+ years old. Seems they haven't had a relevant mtb helmet in testing for a little while. Currently every gen 2 forefront is on sale so... maybe they've got something in the works. We'll see if they can pass fox.

What's Hot & What's Not? Pinkbike Editors' Picks For 2025 Tech Trends

Seems a brand leaked the naming convention already. I suppose someone in ecomm was trying to get it ready for launch and published the page early. Can't imagine Sram is going to be happy about it.
