Leatt Announces New Apparel Collection with Cargo Carrying Features
@one38: Have you looped out or taken a hard crash to your back while wearing that chinbar in spine-knife position as pictured?

This is such a strange thing to see from a safety brand.

Leatt Announces New Apparel Collection with Cargo Carrying Features
I mean I've been looking for a way to carry a removable chinbar for years. I have a 3d printed spacer in my headset for it and I've built hip pack carriers for it. It's a real problem.
I just haven't seen a dumber solution than this.

Review: SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack - Does It Suck?
@TucsonDon: If you're mountain biking in a sports car you really don't want to just hop in.

Review: SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack - Does It Suck?
Pro tip addendum: Crank strap is an absolute must, your crank will spin and hit the roof, and you will forget it one day, so keep a bundle in your trunk.

Review: SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack - Does It Suck?
I used for three years to put an Evil on a Miata, it was comedy gold. Sold it when I sold the car, some lucky SellBuy person has my amazing Seasucker. The bike was almost as long as the car. Never a hint of problems, honestly I trust it more than a bolted rack. Pro tip is that you can buy a christmas "wreath bag" with zipper on Amazon for $15 that will hold a 29" front wheel, you need to drybag your clothes and have a full cover for the driver seat. Carry alcohol and a microfiber wipe for the contact surface. They're not suction cups, they're vacuum cups, a world apart, and multiple cups have to fail. I never had a single one fail.

Pinkbike Poll: Hip Pack, Vest, or Backpack?
@justinfoil: You're not wrong. I didn't buy the pack, but my friends who have USWE say it's basically the same thing. There were opportunities for innovation - that central clasp deserves a GoPro mount - but they basically made it square and called it a day.

Pinkbike Poll: Hip Pack, Vest, or Backpack?
I can't believe it's not mentioned here but you have to try the Lab Austere hip pack. They changed where it sits and how it holds bottles, and you can put two 1L bottles (that is a ton of water) with no bounce and no clue it's even there. I've abandoned bottles on my frame even because it's so easy to reach bottles with this thing. I've tried everything, they have something special going on.
Not sponsored by them, paid retail, and truly have tried everything else.
