Hope's New Six-Piston Brake Caliper Stolen from Eurobike Booth
These comments and the theories are hilarious. Bet it was just some shitty person who stole it because they could. It’s just a bicycle brake that has 6 pistons. It’s not like it’s a teleportation device or a cure for cancer.

Wyn Masters Calls for Safety Changes After World Cup Near Miss Crash
You can be granted a spot through your national Federation. Also there are riders who don’t qualify for WC’s who can pay registered WC teams for a spot on teams (not the case here, and I don’t think a team would let someone race on a hardtail to get more followers).

Pinkbike Poll: Who Takes the Historic First Win in South Korea?
Hope Asa wins. Partly because his setup is pretty normal- no electronics, normal bar/stem/cranks, trailbike hub spacing, pretty normal suspension design. Show the kids that none of that wacky stuff matters and it’s the rider.

What We Learned From the Chaotic Qualifying at the South Korea DH World Cup
But shorts and GoPro’s are dangerous. Although GoPro’s aren’t as dangerous anymore, if the fee is paid.

Wyn Masters Injured After a "Pointless & Completely Avoidable" Near Miss Crash
Bit strange that this is still fringe enough that a hardtail can race at the highest level. I don’t think you’d ever see an influencer able to line up at a supercross on a pit bike.

Cane Creek Unveils the 180mm Invert Enduro Fork
@thekaiser: makes sense. I’m keen to get back on an inverted fork one day for sure, hopefully they stay popular this time around.

Cane Creek Unveils the 180mm Invert Enduro Fork
I had a 2013 Dorado back in the day. Was awesome- smoothest and lowest maintenance fork I've owned in 25+ years of riding dual crown forks. Public consensus back then (which I didn't pay attention to) was that it's apparently too flexy. Honest question, I'm curious having not tried one are these new inverted forks released in the past year a lot stiffer so people are more into them? Or is it more that it's the timing/everything comes full circle/what's old is new and they're fashionable now?

HotBars Introduces the World’s First Heated Bicycle Handlebar
For winter riding here in the Sea to Sky, these would be great. Even today was surprisingly cold riding Squamish.
Winter riding gloves are OK, they do the job, but compromise feel/grip.
I wouldn’t pay $500+ CAD though.
