5 Findings from Female Pros in the Pinkbike State of the Sport Survey
@sadfusde: Support more women racers financially (or in any tangible form), make more positions on teams available to women and increase the entries to the category - then youll get more competition and more idols/role models for young female racers to look up to and more reason (for men and women) to watch the races. You cant expect them to 'bring more to the table' when the opportunities to grow the category aren't there. Chicken egg yadayada

Leverage curves. As a few have already pointed out, pointless looking at shock setup numbers without knowing or looking at the leverage rate of the bike.

VHS Launches Version 2.0 of Their Slapper Tape
Why is it so hard for some people to conceive spending 30$ for something that significantly quietens your $5000 bike? Boggles ma mind so it does. Sure you can do some fancy 3M tape job but its nice to have the option no?
For anyone that has seen this and might be tempted, I have the V1 and its been spot on. Silent, looks clean, gets blasted by a power hose every week and is still intact. Happy days

Velorim Sets Up UK Tire Recycling Scheme Before Scrapping Becomes Illegal
Ive had more depressing sightings of tyres washed up on beaches, discarded in woodland etc, than I have of out of control horse riders on the streets (I havent seen such a thing). Also, shite washes away, tyres dont. Idk why im even answering this tbh....

Commuters kill tubes. On a busy day in the shop a mechanic can easy end up with 10+ tube replacements. Tubeless is for the most part still only adopted by people into the sport/recreational side of cycling.
