Pinkbike Poll: Have You Ever Tried XC Racing?
I started racing in the early 90s. XC was all there was until a norba race rolled into town in 1994 and they had a DH race you could sign up for. I've been hooked ever since.

Field Test: 2022 Transition Spire - Suprisingly Versatile
@atourgates: Yeah, I used to have gym time, and I used to spend 2-3 weekends a month doing laps off a chairlift. It took a lot for me to get arm pump back then. Now I've got 2 kids and spend 1 - 2 weekends a year riding the lifts and no time in the gym.
This is the first bike I've been able to flog all day doing bike park laps with my soggy dad bod and not get the expected arm pump. I could pretty much tell first run too. I don't know what magic or voodoo that is, but I'll take it.

The Grim Donut put down the fastest time on the trail they tested it on. Does that make it The Best Bike?

Field Test: 2022 Transition Spire - Suprisingly Versatile
I have had an XL carbon shimano/fox version for a little over a month now. The review is pretty spot on other than the fact that I don't give a crap one way or another about the external cable routing.
One of the first bikes in my whole life that out of shape me doesn't get arm pump at the bike park on. Not sure if it's the body position or what, but it feels good.

Field Test: 2022 Transition Spire - Suprisingly Versatile
Had my carbon spire for about a month so far. Done some local trail riding, chair lift laps, 2 bails, 1 road trip with a Thule T2, stuffed in 3 hotel rooms with other bikes, and spent some time on the back of a tailgate pad as well. So far so good on the paint.
With regards to the tailgate pad- they include a nice little silicone or rubber(I am not a scientist) stick-on piece to protect the downtube.
I've got helicopter tape on the top tube and the exposed parts of the downtube.

Review: Rapha's New Performance Trailwear Clothing
@SATN-XC: what counts as cheap? I've got a few pairs of TLD shorts from 9-10 years ago that still work.
