Review: Hustle Bike Labs' Avery Magnetic Pedals Aren't Just A Gimmick
Article title reads "...Aren't Just a Gimmick", "Cons" section of review reads exactly like they are a gimmick.

Review: Oak Components Root Lever - An Aftermarket Upgrade for Magura Brakes
I just ordered these after one of my XT levers completely folded up after the bike tipped over in the garage. I was honestly shocked when I got to the trails and discovered the damage. Terrible design. These levers get great reviews, excited to try and the folding design should be industry standard.

Review: Pinnd CS2 Pedals - Made in Scotland to Survive the Slop
Slip and a miss at that price point for no real benefit over several much cheaper options.

Shimano Breaks Revenue & Earnings Records By Ridiculous Margins, With Bike Division Sales Up 49% over 2020
@alicialeggett: that could not be more inaccurate. A lot more goes into "more profit" than making a margin. With increased shipping/material costs and several other factors, margins and profits could be smaller than the previous year despite higher sales.

RideWrap Releases Dealer Software for On-Site, On Demand Protection Kits
The vast majority of people have no idea how to properly wash a bike or car. Bikes caked with dirt and mud will absolutely scratch the paint if you're washing them with a beach towel or a mit that has a bunch of stones and debris in it. I find the ridewrap makes cleaning a lot easier and you don't have to be as concerned with proper wash technique.

RideWrap Announces New Bike Specific Protection Film
Ridewrap, I'm going to real bummed if I dont have the latest and greatest in the kit I just bought/installed 2 weeks ago. Everyone is going to know I don't have the latest Ridewrap material installed and make fun of me. My almost brand new bike will be outdated and I'll have to sell it.

Orbea Announces Price Increases Due to Supply Chain Issues
Anyone with any sort of manufacturing knowledge (I don't have any) knows that a $600-$700 per unit increase on a $6k-$7k item is a lot more than "oh the cost of raw materials and transportation went up a bit." This reads more like "did you see how much money (insert bike manufacturer) made last year jacking prices?! We're charging rookie numbers, gotta pump those numbers up!"

Available Now: Long Live Chainsaw Documentary on the Life & Legacy of Stevie Smith
Easiest no brainer purchase ever. Awesome depiction of Stevie and his lust for the sport and life in general. I watched his "Follow Me" segment with Gee 1000 times when I bought my first "expensive" bike the OG Devinci Troy. The huge huck to bottom out on that downhill floater followed by Stevie's chuckle always made me smile.
