I ride trails for fun, but also for fitness.

Pinkbike Poll: Hip Pack, Vest, or Backpack?
I think you must not have used very good packs. I don't want to trash vests because I suspect they are good, but my hip pack doesn't flop and it is not even close. That was my first fear when I bought it but it ended up being no biggie. Did you buy a pack at Walmart or do some shopping around?

Pinkbike Poll: Hip Pack, Vest, or Backpack?
I was a BIG backpack believer until I tried a hip pack. Now I only bring the backpack for the rare rides that require more than two bottles and I just don't have that much time very often.

RSD Bikes Announces Updated 2024 Range
The middle child is my dream hardtail. For awhile the wildcat was the FS I had in my sights. Still think about these bikes but unfortunately have not owned one yet.

First Ride: 2025 Orbea Rise LT - More Torque, More Travel
Too bad the cables route through the headset. It might have sold really well.

To clarify, there is also a new version of the SL that is glossed over in this article or the SL is the same one it has been since 4 years ago?

Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
Depends on the bike. Sometimes bikes have a rather long reach but since I like stack nice and tall I just use spacers. How this started was actually an accident. I bought a bike online and it came with 40mm of spacers. It looks ridiculous, but it rides great. I lowered the handlebar and it was a huge mistake. At this height the reach is closer to 475 than the 493 stock, which is a better fit and it's like having a 60mm riser, which I had used on previous bikes.

A Deeper Look At The Latest Trinity MTB Gravity Project
I really like the concepts however the system clearly needs to be mounted above the bb in the triangle (who knew out of the box thinking would be in a triangle instead!). I know this has a negative affect on bottles and will affect frame shape and integration a bit but I think it can be done and have the gear box still be modular.
Besides as we go slacker a d slacker there is definitely potential for underside bottle mounting with special proprietary plastic guards that protect the bottle. The bike industry should be all over it.

Randoms Round 1 - Sea Otter 2024
I am a big salsa fan. I ride a salsa. I have encouraged others to buy salsa. When the ebikes were a little underwhelming I forgave them for it. But cable tourism, that is unforgivable. At least the e-Blackthorn, er moraine doesn't have it.
