Nerding Out: How Temperature Affects Your Suspension

When I was a freshman in college and dead broke, I got a Gary Fisher Opie at shop cost from the shop I wrenched at during the summer - A 2004 Opie was a shittie DJ bike, but it was a bike and I needed one. It came with an elastomer fork, and I found it getting harsher and harsher as the fall progressed, until one day after a late class I jumped on my bike, hucked a small staircase and about broke my wrists... the elastomers at or around freezing turned into rocks. Rather than deal with the poor performance an unpredictability, I put a used Surly Instigator fork on there... first of many rigid MTBs for me. I miss that stupid bike.

Nerding Out: How Temperature Affects Your Suspension

Pinkbikers riding 2018 forks that haven't been serviced now finally understand why they can't KOM their favorite double black; suspension settings in the parking lot at 10:00 don't work at the top of the fireroad at 12:00.

CeramicSpeed Announces $669 OSPW X Upgrade for SRAM Transmission Derailleurs

@Lagr1980: I see you too are a man of culture. Linkglide has been tremendously satisfying so far, I'm thinking I'm going to do some drivetrain swapping and move my XT HG+ drivetrain to my fatbike, so I can wear it out in the salty wetness of a chicago winter this season and standardize on linkglide across my trail, fat, commuter/utility bikes.

@Fix-the-Spade: sucks that even those of us that new it beat forgot... Looking at you, Shimano road crank recall. Still nothing beats a basic Shimano mountain crank for function, durability and value, but that recall on the road side is definitely a black eye on an otherwise sterling reputation.

State Bicycle Co Release Affordable Entry-Level Fat Bike

Word. People tend to view fatbikes negatively here, but they're fun and a great way to keep riding, or moving in general, if you live in a place with real winters. 100x better than hitting the rollers in the basement. Pedalling out alone on snowy trails, crossing frozen streams and ponds and forging your own path, in the absolute silence of the snowy forest... Pretty special. My ICT also gets racked up in the summer, great bike for getting groceries with the kids when it isn't in snowy mountain bike mode.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Clipless Shoes

Greetings fellow men of taste. Stock up on those ME7s if you've got big feet... Shimano is leaning way out of anything above a 48 in their new lineup. I'm a 50.
