Pinkbike Poll: Do You Suffer From Arm Pump When Mountain Biking?
I used to suffer badly. It was a combination of poor body position and lack of ability that I reduced overall fatigue through coaching. But lever angle massively helps, I run them nearly flat. Also using a powerball to train the forearms and wrists and that made a big difference too.

Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit
Just go for the Gwin method. Close your eyes, put your hands on the bars and you have the right bar width. Seems to work well in my experience.

Amflow's €3,499 TL Carbon Could Be the E-Bike the Industry Didn't Know It Needed
If it gets more cars off the road that are doing 2 mile journeys then its a good thing.

First Ride: The New Orbea Wild LT Uses a Heavily Modified Avinox Motor
Totally disagree that all riders want is power. Actually the intelligence of the Avinox and bosche motors with more pressure sensitive delivery is far more important in linking janky bits of trail together and the climbing power has been fine long before Avinox came along. Ive bumped into two riders this week on new M2S motors and they have all said that they are running them at 30% power because thats all that is needed. So power definitely isnt the only reason to pick a motor or an e-bike model.

Emil Johansson Shares Injury Recovery Update After His 2025 Red Bull Rampage Crash
Hope he heals up. Lots of viewers seem to be talking about not watching the event live this year because of these incidents. Personally I think this is easy to resolve and is a win win as it also removes the complaints about rampage being too 'slopestyle'. You simply remove the scoring for any kind of flip/whip off a drop and over gaps over a certain length. This is is pretty much where all the injuries happen. Refocus on gnarly lines and trips on the right features. Disclose the scoring for each key feature and reduce/increase scores to assure rider safety and maintaining the events unique nature. Saying nothing needs to be done or cant be done is non-sensical.

Public Safety Notice Issued After Vancouver Island Trails Found Booby-Trapped With Steel Spikes
Trail cams are cheap, the authorities should be setting these up out of sight and catching the person before a human or animal gets injured.
