Pinkbike Poll: Have You Ever Broken Carbon Fiber Cranks?

@bigtim: good point on timing. I broke and bent a collection of Alu race face and Shimano cranks in the early 2000’s. current race face turbines have been fine though I don’t ride as hard as I used to and the suspension travel on the bikes now probably helps with forces as well

Review: 6 Hard-Hitting Rear Tires Ridden & Rated

Running an aggressor at the moment. Agree with the freefall in mid-pitch comment. Also noticed it comes up relatively narrow when mounted on the rim compared to its advertised size.

90db is ridiculous. It should be supplied with hearing protection.

Gravaa's New Wheels Will Allow Tire Pressure Adjustments While Riding

I think this is a pretty good idea for those who like to fettle, but carbon rims, integrated pumps... these aren’t going to be cheap and with more stuff to potentially go wrong I think buyers will be looking for a solid warranty offering for peace of mind.

Does anybody make MTB flat pedal shoes for warm climates? Most are similar style to this, they do look good but seem like wrapping yourself in plastic and heading into a sauna.
