Pinkbike Poll: Which 2026 Tech Trends Do You Think Are Gimmicks?

I had climber bars in the olden days, but I never used them for climbing. I just used them like these new little ends. I think they'll stick around just fine.

Intrusive Thoughts: I Rode the Widest Handlebars in Existence

If your bike is a little too small in reach, wider bars can help pull your weight forward so that you're not having the front lift off on all the climbs. If your bike is too long, a narrower bar can bring your weight back a little bit. You just have to get your weight balance right so that the required length stem/bar width works with your body.

Review: Stinner Romero MT - A US-Made Steel Trail Bike That's Better With Mixed Wheels

I'd like to hear how the longer-travel version of this rides. For front-range chunk, I feel like 150 is just right.

Gates Patent Application Shows a CVT Gearbox For Non-Electric Bikes

Yeah....I'm guessing that nobody is going to want to mess with the drag of a v-belt in a groove like that.

Video: Frameworks Tests the Loctite DH Bike Prototype with Adjustable Kinematics

I had one of those bonded Treks. My high school graduation present to myself was a 1993 Trek 8000. It was aluminum tubes bonded into lugs and it was black with XT drive and no suspension and it cost $800. I think I picked it up June 12, 1993. It was a great bike.
