Race Analysis from the Glentress XC World Champs 2023
The female commentator on BBC was brilliant with the technical knowledge and she explained why taller riders do not use dropper seatposts - find it on iplayer instead of me typing and hashing it here.

Volvo Bike Carrier
$45 GBPGenuine Volvo Bike Carrier.
Please note the roof bars have been sold to a Pinkbike member and so are no longer included in the sale
The bike carrier is part number 31664408, it is suitable for bike downtubes of 20mm to 80mm diameter or oval tubes 80mm to 100mm.
The ratched straps easily accomodate my MTB wheels with 2.6" tyres. The carrier can be locked to the bars and to the bike by using the key provided.
Everything is in good working order with only a few marks here and there and a hint of rust around the ratchet straps.
I have tried to put a fair price to this and I will not accept offers below this.
If you want this item posting then you will be responsible for all the arrangements. For your information the unpacked dimensions are approx 145cm x 35cm x 15cm and the weight is approx 8kg

$75 GBPCane Creek Double Barrel Air.
240mm eye to eye
76mm Stroke
Excellent condition with only minor paint scuff from mounting.
Piston has no gouges only the faintest of scratch marks which are insignificant and do not cause any problems - just mentioned this for completeness.

I think that this is a fair price so I will not accept any offers below £75.00

Review: Troy Lee Designs' New Flowline Helmet
Is that how it's supposed to fit? It looks far too small.

Video: Making Marks with Max Nerurkar
Max is a really nice lad and always thought of us oldies and scaredies when trail building in Wharncouver - don't forget the chicken runs we'd say and lo and behold they were there the next time we were - cheers!

Review: 3 Mountain Bike Handguards Ridden & Rated
You are quite right that nobody needs these but they can be very useful. I have ridden in Wharncliffe here in the UK for 25years and never thought that I needed them until I met a very friendly tree that tried to de-glove my ring finger and made quite a reasonable job of it. After that I fitted a pair and take my ring off before I ride. They last well until I turned my bike upside down and promptly stood on one so now they are laid on the bench waiting for a solution to get them back and working.
You don't need a lot of things but we do buy a lot of needless things!
