How To Pick A Safer Helmet - According To Science
I have a freakishly small head for an adult male, so I can't just take a chance a certain brand helmet will fit. Giro, Fox and Endura helmets just aren't the right shape for my head so I've been using a Troy Lee A2 lid for a while and after finally being able to try a Poc Tectal last year I bought 2 during CRC's final sale, 1 for £65 and the other for £30, so price also effects my choice.

Review: GasGas ECC 6 - More Speed Than You Need?
@Compositepro: Would you like to do 500 miles on a motorcycle you have to constantly pedal to keep moving at 15.5mph and the motor stops working above that?

Chris King Introduces Generation 4 Hub System
Service Chris King hubs? No, never needed to do that. The most I've done to mine is wash them off after muddy rides.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Need Downtube Storage?
If I remove the battery from my ebike I can easily fit a full baguette in the bottom of my downtube. In 4 or 5 years, when my battery is completely dead that might be a bonus, but at the moment I’ll keep the battery thanks!

First Ride: Cannondale Moterra SL eMTB - Full Power Without the Weight
I don’t get why Cannondale would design a bike around a Shimano motor then fit a SRAM Transmission groupset. Surely it would have been better to spec a di2 gear system so they could run Autoshift?
Other than that, I think it’s a great looking ebike.

Burning Question: Where Do Wheel Component Manufacturers Stand on Tire Inserts?
I run Cushcore XC on my ebike and RockStop on the rear of my 2 hardtails. Been using inserts since 2019 and haven’t suffered a pinch flat in all that time. No idea if they make such a huge difference when using double down tyres, but it’s too expensive to go without and end having to pay for replacements.
