2020 Pinkbike Awards: Comeback of the Year Nominees
Not the type of comebacks I was expecting, but just as entertaining.

Cane Creek Celebrates 15 Years of Twin Tube Technology With the DB Heritage Shock
@Almazing: a good concept on paper, but I’ve been burned by this mode at least once. Several years ago in Calgary, I rented a bike to use on the lifts. Do a quick check over with the mechanic before loading it up and everything seemed in good shape. First 10 pedal strokes at the top of the lift and the chain snapped before I even got to the trail head, wrapped up in the derailleur and broke it off.
I was charged for a new mech, new chain, and service for something that I’m absolutely certain was missed on the check over at no fault of my own. I’m 150lbs with full gear.
Maybe its appropriate to blame the shop at the park for not handling it correctly. I dunno. I just know things do get missed occasionally and it’s a real pisser to be the one who it gets unloaded on to fix.

I like the idea, but how often do you think shocks will be returned completely blown out because it’s setup improperly and ridden excessively hard?
Again, I love the idea. As someone who rides maybe 2 different full suss bikes a year, the ability to hot swap a coil in place of my air shock would be a dream.

@j-t-g: I was under the impression that Juliana was essentially repainted/retuned Santa Cruz? Touchpoints notwithstanding, I thought they had the same build kits and everything for the same price points.
I could be totally wrong, though, since I don’t pay too much attention to them because I can’t afford the Santa Cruz tax...

ROKiT Made to Open 'Largest e-Bike Manufacturing Facility' in the United States
Yeaaaaaah... You decide what you’re going to produce and how, then design the faculty around those needs. Have I been taught all wrong or something?
I mean, ROKiT *is* a shady group so...

Bike Check: Sam Hodgson's DMR Rhythm 2021
@takeiteasyridehard: “ and occasionally a high number when the brand pisses me off...”
Now THIS is the kind of reporting I’d sign up for! Reading your bike checks and scrutinizing every bit of data to see which company is on your shitlist this week lmao
