5 Different Storage Solutions on the EWS Circuit
I carry a few first aid essentials in my hip pack. I used to lug around a very complete 2lb kit on every ride because it fit easily in my big backpack, but after almost never using most of the items on a ride, I pared it down to cover an allergic reaction, a gaping wound, and that's about it. If I'm on a epic ride, I will generally carry a pack and toss the full kit in.

Dynaplug Launches 14 Gram Carbon Racer Tire Plugging Tool
I'm all for strapping bulky stuff to your bike, but when something is smaller and lighter than the strap and bracket that hold it on, perhaps a pocket is a better place.

Video: How to Set Up a New Fork and Shock with Jordi in 'Dialed'
They skipped over how to tap the crown race down on the new fork! I've got a section of PVC pipe that does the trick but there must be a better way. Anyone have a suggestion (besides spending the money on the actual tool)?

Specialized's Entry Level Rockhopper Hardtail Gets an Update for 2021
So many people who know very little about bikes know enough to ask "how many gears does it have?" They probably walk into the shop exciting about the 27 gears they've heard about and get confused when a bike only has 10 or 11. 12 is like 20% better, obviously.
