Pinkbike Poll: Do Your Hands or Arms Hurt When You Ride?

@brianpark: this. I prefer less back sweep and more up sweep, it encourages better riding posture and helps commit the rider to riding(attack position, not backseat), and in that position it ends up being upsweep heavy. I always rolled my bars fairly forward to cheat this with a back sweep bar

Pinkbike Poll: Is Your Mountain Bike Tire Choice Practical, Aspirational, or Delusional?

I check pressures in varying forms, no consistency these days, hence "other". Tire choice has varied from conscious, to cheap, to aspirational, to whatever-I-had-laying-around. I've mostly stuck with the same tires I raced on for years, but will explore new options in "less critical environments"

It's Not Presta, It's Not Schrader - Schwalbe Introduces New Clik Valve
