Video: Tire Pressure is Way More Important Than You Might Think - The Explainer
7:45 - the reason here in South Africa we refer to them as tyres and not tires...
Tire = "to exhaust or greatly decrease the physical strength of"
Tyre = "a thick rubber ring that fits around the edge of a wheel of a car, bicycle, etc."

First Look: DT Swiss' New 1501 & 1700 Spline Wheelsets
No, it's the opposite. They upgraded the X/M/E 1700 and 1501 to something closer to the old 1501, and 1200 wheels, but with better pricing and updated technology.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 1 - Why Are Bikes So Expensive?
@Arierep: I am SO glad there is an educated [on the topic] voice of reason among these comments. I could not agree more with every statement you have made so far. Spot on.

Shimano Loosens Micro Spline Hub Licensing Restrictions
With a Credit Suisse estimated market share of 70-80% of the entire cycling industry I don't think it's had as profound effect as we think. Not saying Shimano should take this lightly, but rather that it's not as big an issue as we might want to believe...

Review: Alchemy Arktos 29 ST
Pivot brings 157 "Super Boost" to the market and it's mostly met with hate...
Alchemy brings the same 157 hub, with the same benefits and it's described as "a good call"

Ride Concepts Adds Caroline Buchanan to Factory Athlete Team
@rstokes: I have both too. RC are definitely not as grippy, but they are certainly grippy enough. I've never slipped a pedal with them...
Must also be said that I would rather have shoes with 80% of the grip than 5.10 but with 2 - 3 x the lifespan

@Marc2211: My grip of choice for years until I came across the Deathgrip! ODI's flange bolts got the better of me. Rogue still an all time grip for sure though - lasts long too!

Fuel Up: 5 of My Favourite Homemade Ride Snacks
I do the same! Best combo. High GI dates and low GI nuts with fats provide short and long term energy. So much cheaper as the manufactured equivalent as well!
