Race Face Introduces Next R36 Carbon Wheelset
If anybody is looking for the ultimate crash replacement offering, check sixth element wheels sets, they even honer it if you buy them second hand

January 2018 - Good Month or Bad Month?
@employee7: there has been a lot of documented cases of thieves using strava (with roadies) to figure out an address, its a bit like posting on Facebook what bikes you own. its not hard for people to figure out an address.
I was followed from the airport and had my hire car done over and lost loads of stuff. too quick to be an opportunist.

Pinkbike Poll: Does Bike Weight Matter?
@jaame: We always used lbs!
I sold bikes for five years in the 90s and the weights were always in lbs

1 Question - What's Going on With 27.5+?
plus bike have been messed up by the industry IMHO, 3.0s on 29mm rim ride terrible, no wonder people say they wobble about on berms. Tyres have come a long way in a short time, a DHF 2.8 on a i45 rim truly is amazingly accurate for its size. no squirming and it'll hold lines where 2.4s will get thrown around. I think what has become apparent from the plus size thing is how important rim to tyre width really is to affecting handling.

How can it be accurate when it only measures the left crank (x2), most people right legs are stronger so surly just doubling the left leg power leaves it under rated?

Megavalanche is Back for 2016
Hey, just go to your GP and ask them to write a letter saying you are fit and well enough to race a mountain bike in the French Alps (as an amateur). I had a new GP this year and he was hesitant, so he booked me in for a ECG - everything was fine, wrote me a letter ... happy days. It is strenuous work this race, .... the organisers don't want people to enter who are not fit or well enough to be there, which is pretty sensible really.
