Pinkbike Poll: Do You Need Downtube Storage?
My Fuel ex has it. I have a tube and small zip lock full of spare bolts and such in it. A Oneup pump and EDC are attached to the water bottle mount. My old hardtail with no storage has the same except the tube is strapped to the frame and no extra bits. But I also have bits in all my packs that I might carry. If a glove box is there I’ll use it but it is not part of my buying decision.

Video: How Long Should a Wheel Last? | Pinkbike Weekly Show Ep. 15
Back when we used rim brakes, and I was racing xc, I’d wear out the brake track of four rims a year. I’d build myself a set of training wheels and a set of race wheels in spring. By the fall or early winter the training wheels would crack, collapse or dent because they were so thin. Then I’d use the race wheels until they suffered the same fate. Now with carbon wheels I might rebuild with new spokes after quite a few seasons. But I don’t ride as much anymore and ride like the old man that I am.

Review: The New 2024 Scott Ransom 900 RC Has All The Integration
One thing Scott should hide is all those control levers on the left. Just remove them and place in recycling. I would also like to see that ugly fork hidden. I mean, you see it moving and stuff. And hide those brakes too. Fully enclosed everything like a car. Imagine the funky paint jobs you can have with a full body. I had a Scott road bike once. Poorly designed geometry that only figured out later. I required a 35 mm set back seat post to get the saddle in the correct spot for my build. And they used the same fork offset for all frames but the small size I was on he a slacker head angle which increased the trail enough to feel a bit heavy.

Video: How To Ride Until You're 70 & Beyond with Ben Plenge from the Strength Factory
All tips I try and follow. 66 now. I rode around 175 times last season. Some rides were to the gym and back. Last winter I cross country skied 65 days and alpine skied 25. Not to mention shovelling snow from my driveway. The most important thing for me is rest and recovery. I bought a fitness watch to help monitor that and it seems to help. Aging is inevitable. You will get slower. Injuries will be worse and take longer to heal from similar falls.

Mondraker Opens a New Base in the USA
It’s a transportation hub I think. If they are selling online it’s a g-old place to be.

Opinion: Your Next Bike Will Be Steeper
Really what we want, all of us, no personal preference allowed, is a 60 degree head angle, plus 5 degree seat tube angle with the seat mounted backwards to support our huge testicles, and a 24 inch rear wheel with a five inch wide tire and 300 mm rear centre so we can manual all they way down the trail rendering front end geometry irrelevant.

Review: Five Ten Trailcross XT Shoes
Anyone else find it a bit odd that reviewers talk about how well biking shoes are to walk in? Biking shoes? Any walking I do in riding shoes is pretty short distance to maybe clear a deadfall or to hang a rat. The first rule of hike a bike is we never hike a bike. Hiking and riding require very different things from a shoe. To me, if the shoe hikes well, it will suck for riding.

Opinion: Save the Turns, Stop the Straightlines
@nickfranko: I wouldn’t blame Strava. People have cut corners or gone around difficult obstacles since mountain biking was a thing. Strava doesn’t help of course but put the blame on the pussies that don’t want to do nothing hard, or need to cheat for a useless Strava time.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Pinkbike Editors' Favorite Clipless Shoes
@mographer: I think people like skate style shoes because when they are cycling, on a bicycle, in cycling clothes they don’t want anyone to think they are a cyclist. Is there an advantage to skate style? To me you want a sleeker shoe so you are less likely to hit trail side obstacles and can run the shoe closer to the crank and have more clearance from crank arms and the frame.
