Pinkbike Poll: Metric vs Imperial - Which Do You Prefer For Measuring Bikes?
I completely tap out when I see weights in lbs, I have no idea how that relates in kg

Lewis Buchanan Signs With... OnlyFans?
Only Fabs got in touch with me last year wanting to do a similar thing. They mentioned how keen they are to branch away from the porn content as that was never their initial goal but just something that happened which they rolled with.
I think they’ve had some issues with payment companies not wanting to handle porn money and they’re desperately trying to change their image.
I had to turn them down though, as cool as it could be I pride myself on family friendly content and cut didn’t sit well with me too have that porn association.
I did wonder if people would take them up, fair play for being brave enough to do it! YouTube seems to be doing its best to f**k over creators so any competition or alternatives can only be a good thing.

Short or Long-Travel: Which Is The Best All-Round MTB?
Oh shorter travel bike wins hands down!
At one point I had both a 130mm bike and a 165mm. Both were great but I ended up selling the 165mm one as I found I could do just about everything I needed on the shorter travel one.
Trials
XC
Bike Packing
Enduro Races
Alps
Bike Parks
Street
Whereas the bigger bike was only better at chunkier/faster DH

GoPro Launches the Hero 11 Black & Mini
@noapathy: I own a Hero 10 and an Insta360 One X2.
The GoPro is always the one I’d choose first as my main camera…it’s easy to use, gives decent footage and importantly for me the footage is easy to transfer and edit on my PC.
The Insta360 OneX2 is a fantastic chest camera (the GoPro goes on my helmet) as the image stabilization is amazing but the quality isn’t quite there for both video or audio in my opinion.
That said, a combo of both cameras works really well, it’s always good to be able to break up the footage with different angles and if one gets mud on the lens/battery runs out/corrupted file (looking at you GoPro) at least you have another camera recording so you’ll more than likely still have the footage in one way or another. I tend to use the audio from the GoPro with a foam wind sock as I use a Smallrig cage on the Insta360 used horizontally (to make it more compact) and that makes fitting any wind reducers difficult.
One thing I do LOVE about the Insta360 OneX2 is that you can choose landscape or portrait exports of the same footage without compromising the crop, this means I can use the same footage for my YouTube video or vertically for Reels etc, that’s a really great feature.
I’ve been sent both the GoPro Hero 10 and the Insta360 OneX2 for free in the past but if it means anything I’m not running out to buy the new Hero11 (too similar to my Hero 10 to be worth it) but I have just bought the latest Insta360 X3

Tech Briefing: A Helmet Holder, Linkage Protector, New Apparel & More - September 2022
In defense of the Helmetor it physically grabs the helmet which makes it great for places like vans or holding on horizontal or moving surfaces (doors etc)
