Anyone gonna talk about how he just ran 44 km to a bike shop to fix a snapped chain?! It’s on his instagram story.

Jess Blewitt Earns Red Bull Helmet
I've never really understood this... I get that you get presented with the RB helmet and it's a massive deal, but at the end of the day it's a sponsourship deal so do the riders get to discuss money or what the arangements are? What if someone gets presented with a Red Bull helmet and they're like "oh sorry I actually wanted to sign with Monster". Just always been confused as to the actual logistics behind this.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 126 - "One More Run" and Other MTB Superstitions
When I saw some of the EWS riders running custom links I suddenly remembered something that I read on Yeti's website under their marketing for the SB150. It says that Richie Rude runs the stock link on his bike showing how their suspension kinematic is perfect out of the box. I never thought much of it, but now after seeing these custom links I feel like it would put me off buying one of those bikes. Just gives the impression that the stock linkage and kinematic doesn't actually work very well, hence why the racers need something different. Doesn't give you a whole lot of confidence in the design of the product...

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 118 - Music and Mountain Biking
QUESTION: Is it just me or does it seem like bikes just arent designed for heavier people? I am 6’3 and 215 lbs (not overweight) and I seem to have so many reliability problems with my bike compared to my friends who are all 5’11 and 170ish lbs. I go through heavy casing tyres and and DT Swiss alloy rims like there’s no tommorow, my enduro bike has Code R brakes (200 mm front and rear, metallic pads) and I’ve just had to sand my pads and rotors because they glazed over from overheating. A month or so ago I got my rear shock (Fox Float X2) replaced under warranty because I had blown through it and it was leaking oil. I try to keep my bike well maintained but it seems that I have many more mechanicals than my friends and I can’t help wondering if some of the components just aren’t designed for the force that some heavier riders can put through the bike.
