Video: Loïc Bruni vs An Average Rider On a Proper World Cup Track
I think... this is the best thing I've seen on pinkbike in 5 years. Love celebrating raw rider skill instead of gear. Do it again on hardtails!

That is so much weight! Any thoughts of reducing it for next time?

Bike Check: Rare Earth's Rascal Saint
@BobbyHillbomb: it looks like the handlebar tube needs to go through the steer tube. Did they cut the handlebar or did they cut the steer tube? Or optical illusion?

Must Watch: Danny MacAskill's Signature Style at Adidas HQ in 'Campus'
I’d like to see behind the curtain - the hundreds of hours of weird exercises in some dank gym that are needed to make this look effortless.

Video: Hitting Bellingham's Biggest Moves on a Hardtail
Why does the article show big square links to instagram instead of pictures? Is that some sort of necessary monetization? Why not just put the pix in the article?

Tech Briefing: Titanium Hardtails, New Grips, 15 Gram Plugging Solution & More
What am I looking at? Men’s Health Magazine? Are these the most interesting new products? Or the products that paid enough to be listed? This is the tail of a long marketing pipeline. Makes me want to do my own grips with carpet foam and hose clamps.

Chris King's New DropSet 6 Headset is Built for Abuse
@konadan: maybe today that’s true, they hellbendered everything. mine was the original slamset hellbender and my 110 was pre hell bendering. 110 is a damn nice thing to install. Nice labyrinth seals and just solid feeling.

Chris King's New DropSet 6 Headset is Built for Abuse
I’m with you on boogie bs but there’s a place for the expensive stuff. If you’re going through headsets and bottom brackets yearly then it can be worthwhile. Their bb has been amazing.
On my ss I’ve had 2 cc 40 rusted to death, a hellbender that self destructed from mud intrusion. Cc stepped up and gave me a 110 and it’s been perfect… but that 110 is the same price as a ck.
My other mtb has a ck hs and it’s been zero fuss for… gosh… 11 years.
What I really wanted to hear about is the ‘patented grip lock’. I bought a used road bike with ck headset that wouldn’t stay tight. I paid $40 for the grip lock and problem is solved. Sure feels like their original oring design was defective but at least they made and sold me an upgrade.

Derek Teel of Dialed Health Suffers Extensive Injuries After Being Struck By Driver in Hit & Run
Maybe I’ve watched too much narcos but… can I fund an escrow with mossock fonseca to hire people to murder the driver that kills me? Perhaps a cycling club could do the same for anyone in the area?
I bet drivers would show more care once it’s clear that their lives are also on the line?
