Dangerholm's 'Lemmy Forever' Hardtail - A Tribute to Motörhead's Singer & Bassist
Tough crowd today, love the bike and, as always, love you beautiful detailing.
Lenny probably didn’t ride XC but I feel like he’d appreciate the art and craft of a sweet bike build.

Vista Outdoor Agrees to Buy Fox Racing for $540M
Different companies. Fox Racing is the soft gear and Fox Shocks (called Fox Tail I think?!?) is the suspension.
I’m sure that heaps of people could give you more info than me though.

Formula Announces New CURA X Brake
Really loved my 2 Pot Cura’s. best lever feel and power. But I always had trouble with noise. Dry, wet didn’t matter. Also tried 3 different pads and 2 types of formula rotors (newer and older style)
Anyone got any ideas?

Commencal Releases Clash Park Edition
I’ve got a bike with a 7 speed box DT and paired it up with a small 28 tooth chainring.
We don’t live in the Alps or Rocky Mountains, so for our local rolling hills it works really well. But the reality is that there are so many 11 or 12 speed options for the same price that I’m not sure I’d bother again.

Bike Check: Seth Sherlock's Intense Tracer 279
My understanding is: They co-developed the system and shared the patient for a long time. Now it’s expired I believe that they have diverged somewhat.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 121 - How To Film Rampage & Field Tests with the PB Team
Just note to the PB crew: I do truely love your work and appreciate that you are trying to broaden your audience. But the First look article for a commuter, Ebike hardtail got me wondering what you vision is for PB? You’ve added more XC and even some gravel and I’ve enjoyed most of that content. So I’m not judging, just asking. Is there pressure from upstairs? Or is it just driven by Mike’s Lycra fettish?

Review: Scott Spark RC World Cup - 120mm Is The New XC
I’ve read interviews where the pro’s say differently. Pushing the saddle further down takes more energy and time. ‘Just enough’ is the perfect amount for ‘em.

Review: 2022 Canyon Torque CF8
@DylanH93:
The crew have talked about that in the pod cast.
The problem seems to be that the experience is so variable. One person has a great experience but the next person gets the warranty guy on a bad day and has a very different experience.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 102 - Should MTB Media Be Going to Press Camps?
Rather than a disclaimer. I think that a document or manifesto linked permanently on the home page. It would explains the review, first ride process as well as separation of advertising and editorial would answer a lot of peoples questions.

That made my day and I totally can’t wait for the kids to get home so that we can watch it together. Huge project but amazing result.
