Review: Vee Tire Co's Super-Sticky Flow Snap WCE Tires
Still waiting for a GRAPHENE!! tire that weighs grams, is puncture proof and fast rolling, yet super sticky and compliant. It's almost 2020, shouldn't we have this by now?

Video: Muc-Off Launches Bike Specific Pressure Washer
Wait -- I just noticed this thing doesn't have a battery or water storage.. How does this help me at the trailhead?
I bring something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Clean-PCRWASHBAT29-portable-spray-washer/dp/B016MNOTI2
on muddy days. It's not super powerful, but it doesn't need to be. It holds enough water for a couple bikes. It has a built-in battery or can run off 12V. Mine was a lot less than that one, $75 or so if I recall correctly.

Do they sell 20-mile garden hose extensions so I can wash off my bike before putting it back in the car after a muddy ride?

Trust Chops $725 Off Their Linkage Fork
@cherbein03: Riding a bike is really cheap. I bet most of us have spent more money blinging out our bikes than riding them.

First Look: DT Swiss' New Ratchet EXP Hub Design
Years ago Wendy's introduced the triple-burger. Why? Nobody bought it, it was not a seller. But it made the double-burger which had previously seemed excessive, suddenly seem modest by comparison.
Introducing the triple-burger dramatically increased sales of the double-burger.

Video: Friday Fails #67
Sometimes I see the Friday Fails, and I wonder, really, WTF are they thinking. I mean, this isn't that hard. It's not rocket science. Maybe PinkBike could do a tutorial? It wouldn't have to be long:
Turn the telephone horizontal

Results: Timed Training - Maribor DH World Cup 2019
Well, my cousin Larry has never been in either timed training or race results so, to an extent, yes.

Behind-the-Scenes of Adolf Silva's eMTB Double Flip
I'm 98% in the "I don't want one" camp. The 2% creeps in whenever I ride at a local trail network that has a 4 mile long paved climb to get to the good stuff. On a good day I'll do three laps before I'm toast. But being able to cruise up with less effort gets me maybe 5 or 6 laps. That would be pretty awesome.

Walmart Launches High-End 'Viathon' Bike Brand
Ever since Ibis released the DV9, that has become my benchmark for an affordable yet "premium" hardtail. I'm going to have a real hard time paying significantly more than Ibis money for a Walmart bike.
https://www.pinkbike.com/news/ibis-launches-versatile-new-carbon-hardtail-the-dv9.html
$999 for the Ibis frame, or $2100 for the full NX build or $2K for the Walmart frame. Hmm.

Walmart Launches High-End 'Viathon' Bike Brand
I'm curious if you reviewed the bike as it came from the store, with the fork installed backward? Or did you flip it around first?
