Brian's Randoms: Rumors, Tech, & Insights from Taichung Bike Week 2026

@pmhobson: I take mine, because of the convenience I literally use it before any ride as you just press the go button and you know you're starting at the right tyre pressure. I actually use my car one for before rides and my tiny one during. It's a pump and pressure gauge in 1. Goes in my trouser pocket as I don't use bags

Spotted: Shimano's New Saint Brakes Look Production-Ready

@mr-fabio: absolutely, if the reservoir is large enough to cope with pad wear its got no correlation to a bleed required. Bleed is to remove air in the system/replace old contaminated fluid

Review: Fulcrum's Metal Carbon Wheels are Quiet, Fast, and Fuss-Free

Although with replaceable races and the bearings being in a cage these are close to sealed bearings if the spares are easy to get hold of it's sort of a non-issue, and being able to easily regrease and torque is a straightforward process

DT Swiss DF Upgrade Kits Now Available for Ratchet 350 & 370 Hubs

@mad-hatter: the difference is consistency. A rachet with x degrees of rotation prior to engagement could be positioned to take x degrees of rotation before engagement, immediately or anywhere in between

Beyond Pedal Kickback: What's Really Causing Drivetrain Feedback?

I think the point is that the suspension might cause a few mm of rotation, howeverthe chain slapping around can pull the cassette forward by a few cm, that loading and unloading of chain tension is what is felt

Pinkbike Poll: Would You Over-Fork or Under-Fork?

I think it's the % gain to effort is not worth manually doing it, plus riding downhill with the rear locked out sort of sucks a bit, a locked out fork is verging on lethal

Semi-Hot Takes on This Year's MTB Tech Trends

I think short stems work well if the bike and fit is right At 6'2 I would say I'm full 29er, would consider mullet for DH. The smaller someone is the more likely mullet is better. Bar ends would be cool to see less aggressive ones for trail riding

Bike Check: Myriam Nicole's Commencal Supreme DH - 2026 Val di Sole DH World Championships

@chrismac70: the front to rear centre is a more useful ratio and the ratio change is far less dramatic than the reach

Review: Michelin Performance Tires - Fast Rolling & Long-Lasting, But There's a Catch

Basically, if you race or have brand snobbery go Maxxis, else go Specialized. (I use Maxxis on mine, Specialized on my wifes) Specialized have actually been the most consistent performing tyres I've use
