Review: 12 Months With the EXT Era Fork
As forks have gotten bigger and weights keep going up, why not just run a coil fork? The endless pursuit of coil like feeling can be achieved with.... a coil fork. With a smidgeon of research and some hand maths, one can figure out the appropriate spring rate for their riding and be done with it. I've stepped up to Cane Creek Helm MK2 Coil fork and will never go back to an air fork as long as options still exist. Knowing it will always be supple off the top with out baby sitting air spring seals to keep it "optimal" is great. Mid stroke support, yep, harsh bottom outs, not on anything I'm riding and I'm a heavy guy. Options are nice don't get me wrong, but why beat around the bush recreating the wheel?

Pinkbike Poll: Which Geometry Adjustments Would You Actually Use?
I just move my fat ass further back on the bike to slacken out the front and hope for the best.

Dynaplug Launches New Lightweight Tubeless Repair Tool
I used the Stan's Dart about 4 times now and it's worked on all 4 occasions. Currently running an Aggressor out back with a dart in it for the last month without issue. Even put one in the sidewall of a DHR and it worked flawlessly.

Rockshox Pike RCT3 - Vorsprung Luftkappe Upgraded
$300 USDExcellent condition 160mm 27.5 RS Pike RCT3 with a Vorsprung Luftkappe air piston upgrade. Fork is buttery smooth off the top with a larger negative air chamber than you get with the Debonair air spring with better Mid-stroke support. Recent 50 hour service with new seals and re-greased moving parts. Very minor cosmetic nicks due to use and the stanchions are perfect. The lowers have very few marks on them. The steerer is 8 inches long ;-). Willing to ship at buyers expense.

Etnies Release Camber Crank MTB Shoe
I have the latest Shimano GR9's with Michelin rubber and they grip very well. Difference between the two is nominal, but the five ten wins in the grip category. I'm coming off of five ten free rider contacts, which in my opinion (Aside from the de-laminating sole issues) are the best flat pedal shoe out there.

Revenue Round Up: COVID Effects Begin to Be Felt in Q2
@chwk: I'll second what BlackVR said, I have a 2016 Balance and it's very good. I'll bet the new ones are superb as well.
