Ergon Announces New SMS Saddle Line
@iridedj: Don't you get loads of grit sticking to the adhesive side of the tape though?
They could just manufacture the thing with the hole covered in the first place. For the life of me i cant' think why a clear gap to the trail below is necessary on any saddle. They should call it the "Enema Pro" or something.
That said i do own an Ergon saddle and i love it - they make models without a hole in them.

Bike Check: Significant Other Ded Reckin
@heyj: Well this bike is pretty close to ideal, but i can't really argue with your straight-to-the-point comment.

The Bikes & Products We Were Wrong About With Special Guest Mike Levy | Pinkbike Podcast
@Venturebikes: That's my ride to this day after 10 years of trouble free ownership. It's playful and, despite old geo, descends well. Free pivot bearings for life. I think the frame's warranty has only just expired actually. Only significant change i made was a 160 fork to slacken the front end a little.

Bike Check: Significant Other Ded Reckin
Seconded, though i want at least 20mm more travel and would happily not have the flex stays (for no rational reason, i just don't trust them). All the other boxes ticked by this though - tidy external cable routing, lots of frame and tyre clearance, shock inside front triangle protected from rear wheel spray, no weird gimmicks, nice raw finish, and looks easy to maintain.

MUST WATCH: One Lap in Whistler With 10-Year-Old Weston Lukens
I read the first 4 words of that and immediately poured red bull over my testicles as instructed. Then i bothered to read the full post and felt foolish

First Ride: The FluidLogic Automatic Hydration Backpack Tells You When to Drink
Quite apart from the obvious stupidity of a battery powered device that automates fluid intake on the assumption that we're all too thick-as-pigshit to know when we're thirsty (per just about all the comments above), this is noisy, seems like it would restrict head movement, introduces a tube into your field of vision and - as shown in the video - every time it dispenses water it drips down your shoulder. All of which would be a distraction at best and a crash hazard at worst.
So (in no particular order) it is:
wasteful
pointless
badly executed
expensive
insulting to your intelligence
possibly dangerous.

Pinkbike's 2024 Community Survey: How Do Pinkbike Readers Spend Their Money?
All the questions are about spend on material goods. No questions about whether people seek skills development/coaching, how often, what they spend on that on their preferred method of delivery (youtube, online coaching platform, in person skills coaching etc)

Video: Do You Really Need To Replace Your Helmet After Every Crash? Ben Cathro Investigates
Here's a true story of twisted logic.
I met a guy on the trail once. No helmet - i asked him why. He said he couldn't see the point of them because he keeps crashing and when he does, they always break.
He might still be alive, he might not. Who knows?!
