We Explain Why Cheap Drivetrains & Alloy Bikes Are Best | Pinkbike Magazine Show Ep 3
My 2021 Stumpjumper came with NX. Over 2 years in it's still working fine.
You can wiggle the derailleur with your hand and there's quite a bit of play but it's still shifting perfectly. The cassette is super solid, I bent a tooth but I just bent it back and it's been fine ever since. I have no complaints about the cranks with the chainring still in great shape. 12 speed chains are expensive though.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Shimano's Linkglide Drivetrain Tech Explained
@Saidrick: New lower end mountain bikes still come with 2X drivetrains, these new lines should bring 1X down to a lower price point, so huge improvement for entry level riders.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Henry & Levy's Post-Race Formula One Show – Bahrain Grand Prix
Funny, Henry mentioned on another podcast what's the point of ebike racing if they all have motors, well what about car racing? They all have the same tech. It's a joke, they choose who the big stars will be and use it as another way to promote fossil fuel companies.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Henry & Levy's Formula One Pre-Season Cold Takes
I would say the same because I love these guys but I loathe any type of car racing so I'll pass on this podcast.

I Crashed Hard - A Post-Injury Update from Alicia
So happy to hear that you're recovering well Alicia!
My sister had a similar injury and she had to learn everything from scratch again. Eventually she was driving, working again, got married and had 2 kids.
Your recovery seems to be going super fast.

Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Replace Your Frame, Headset, & Bottom Bracket Bearings?
@kevinturner12: "I didn't know they were replaceable" is quite literal.

Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Replace Your Frame, Headset, & Bottom Bracket Bearings?
@Mac1987: A couple is two, Mine last many years, maybe because I clean and re-grease them occasionally.

Video: What it Takes to Win a Reality TV Show: An Interview with Pinkbike Academy Season 3 Winner
I get it but ultimately a reality show to find a fast or potentially fast racer and give them a contract and team support to see what they can accomplish is interesting, a show to find an ambassador/content creator, not so interesting, at least not to me.
I hope they come back with something better next season.

First Look: 2023 Commencal T.E.M.P.O. - A New Short Travel Trail Bike
@Chippps: Totally, I feel that how they are normally run are part of the bikes aesthetic like a cat's whiskers, they've cut all the whiskers off except for one :(

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 153 - Headset Cable Routing is... Good?
I agree, headset routing looks bad to me, and it's not because I'm not used to it. I think it's a vocal minority that likes it and it will just be a passing fad.
And I'm a person that has been into multiple cycling disciples over many years including vintage and historic bikes.
