Tell me you're not actually going to review this specific product without telling me you're not actually going to review this specific product.
"Clever design that works is flipping cool. Out of the box thinking that opens up new techniques and possibilities is the secret sauce for progression. And comfort is without a doubt, a priority for a good kneepad."

Race Analysis from the 2025 Leogang DH World Cup
If someone gets the fastest time in sector 1 and then does poorly on sector 2, it could be because they were going *too* fast in the first sector and couldn't hit their line in the next one.

I thought the "cage" on the Shimano trail pedals was to give them a better profile for glancing off rocks etc, compared to the XC version. I never felt any support benefit.

Pinkbike Poll: Money-No-Object, Would You Rather Have Electronic or Mechanical Shifting?
My GF's AXS batteries die quickly. And the derailleurs randomly un-pair from the shifters requiring a mission-impossible sequence of button pushes to re-sync.
My wired electronic Di2's battery lasts months, it works flawlessly 100% of the time, and it's lighter.
Electronic good — Wireless bad

@mikekazimer: I rarely eat pizza. Also I'm vegan. Some colleagues at my food reviewing publication are pizza connoisseurs. Not me. I'm going to approach this pepperoni pizza review from the pov of someone who has no frame of reference and doesn't particularly care for meat. Or cheese. Stay tuned!
Hold the phone -- turns out that pepperoni pizza was ok! You might like it. Or maybe not. You're welcome.

^ This. The #1 thing I want to know about an optical HRM is how it compares to a chest strap for accuracy.

28 Handlebar & Stem Setups of Enduro World Cup Riders
@mikekazimer: You overestimate the ability of a not very skilled rider like me to get things right by trial and error. A bad bike setup might "feel comfortable" because it partly compensates for my poor technique and terrible body position. I want a setup that rewards the better technique I'm trying to learn. Copying the pros may not be the best way to get there, but trusting my own sense of what feels comfortable isn't either.
