Video: Friday Fails #395
This week’s theme seems to be POV of “I think I’m going to lie down now”.

Day 1 Randoms From Core Bike 2026
Came here to say this. I’ve only used a handful of bacon strips but never had any even look like coming out. The strips that came in my AliExpress ZTTO tool seem plenty sticky.

@elbandido77: the bikes most serious competitors were riding generally were not DH sleds, eg Moir on the old 150/160 Strive then picking the Spectral 150 after the Strive got jacked to 170. Or Rude on the SB150 instead of the SB160. Callaghan on a Ripmo last year, Melamed on the Rocky Altitude in 2022. The bikes have only changed to more park-bike style since the races have done the same.

Pinkbike Poll: What MTB Upgrades Do You Regret Spending Money On?
Would have answered wireless drivetrain, but it came stock on my wife's bike rather than being an upgrade. She never remembers to charge it, and has lost a battery that must have come un-latched in a crash. Cable operated shifting has caused far fewer issues in over 40 years of riding it than AXS has in the two years my wife has had it.

Pinkbike Poll: What MTB Upgrades Do You Regret Spending Money On?
@rrolly: but will it make any real difference to longevity of the frame, or even to resale? I've bought
a few second-hand bikes for my kids as they are growing up, and rock chips are about the last thing I'm concerned about when I'm looking. More of a concern are whether the suspension, pivots or drivetrain are shagged, because they will cost actual $ to keep the bike rideable.

Pinkbike Poll: What MTB Upgrades Do You Regret Spending Money On?
@krka73: my 1990 Raleigh technium has one, but unfortunately some time in the mid 90s I forgot to unhook the chain from it once before pedalling and I folded it over flat. I tried to bend it back up, but the brazing failed where it inserts in the seat stay so now it's loose. I still have the bike and am about to TIG a disc mount on so I'll tack the chain keeper back when I do that.

@iamamodel: as Jimmy Rees would say on “Meanwhile in Australia” - “Beers Beers Beers”. But you can’t hear me down in Tassie.

Day 2 Randoms - Core Bike 2025
@farkinoath: I used to do that until one evening the dulcet tones got so bad I decided to change the pads trailside at the top of the descent. While futzing around with the wheel and old pads out I absent-mindedly squeezed the brake lever, and popped one of the pistons right out, covering my hand in dot5 fluid. Of course I couldn't reinstall it let alone bleed the brakes, so I had to pack the greasy piston away in my bag and ride home with no rear brake, in the dark, down a steep and loose descent. Before the bottom of the hill my front brake was fading, as were my lights and my nerves.
