Pinkbike Poll: How Many Derailleurs Have You Actually Destroyed While Riding?

@G-Sport: Confused, I skate and snowboard right foot forward (goofy), ride mtb right foot forward but that’s not necessarily goofy?

Wolf Tooth Announces 8 Colours for The ReMote Pro Lever

I wish you could still get their stainless chainrings as easily as their aluminum offerings. I get it, they last so much longer it’s not a smart business decision for them and I’m sure it ties up the cnc machines but it’s such a superior product. I have a collection of clapped out aluminum rings and still running my stainless after three years of use.

Staff Ride: Dario's Dumb Little Hardtail

@NuMexJoeinLA: I ran this with XT and it doesn’t work like Gararuk says, user error on my part, shifter cables can’t handle the articulation and start breaking. I tried all different types of cables so trust what Garbaruk says and run the 11t with shimano.

Staff Ride: Dario's Dumb Little Hardtail

I’ve had this frame steel (UK Reynolds 631 of that’s important ) for a couple years, have tried a 120, 140 and 160 Fox fork, the last two being grip 2 dampers. The 160 doesn’t feel quite right but I gave the 140 to my son and the 120 with a FIT damper was good for xc type riding and was as quick as my Pivot Les for those trails. I’ll probably reduce my fork to 150 because that’s the lowest it goes, but 140 probably is the sweet spot for this frame and their recommended geo. I run 11 speed XT/XTR shifter and it’s a super durable and low maintenance rig and can handle just about anything I ride. I’m no hero but have been riding for 30+ years and do alright for my age.
