The Legendary (and Sketchy) Vintage Bikes We’d Love to Ride Again

I had a 2011 aluminum version of the specialized expert evo and I can tell you, it would absolute hold its own against modern Enduro bikes. It was particularly interesting, because it had a legit coil front and rear suspension. The thing was an absolute beast. Unfortunately it was also incredibly heavy. So in the end it was more like a lightweight downhill bike than a pedal up pedal down Enduro bike.

Pinkbike Poll: What Makes You Want to Buy a New Bike?

For me it's "I gotta get rid of it before the technology or the components are too old or out of date to sell for a decent price". For example, if you have an ebike, 2 or 3 years old, the technology is still fairly relevant. At 5 or 6 years the tech will be so old that you'll almost need to give it away. Major trends can take off fast. It only took maybe 3 or 4 years for single chainrings become standard, and your 4 year old dual chainring was so out of style that it was worth almost nothing.

Bontrager Releases New High-Flow Tubeless Valve

The reserve valves absolutely 100% fix all the issues with presta valves. There's really no good reason to go with any other valve. The reserves are the best stems on the market period.

MET Roam Helmet - Review

ah gawd, I just have to point this out because its a pretty poor reference. Archer windows were wide and tapered on the inside with a very small opening on the outside. The design of the helmet vents would actually direct branches into the helmet hahaha

I'm freaking blown away when I'm riding with a group of guys and they have nothing but a single water bottle with them on a mulit hour ride. I think to my self..how the eff do they have any energy. I stop and drink every 15-20 min of riding.
