Forge+Bond Reincarnates as F+B Sports, a Pickleball Paddle Manufacturer
@The-Foiling-Optimist: If I had a N17 I would not be sailing it either. Firstly because I would crap myself and break it, secondly because my son would have blagged it. That is not a cheap boat. But then nor are higher spec Oppies these days🤣

MTB Industry Rumor Round-Up - Hardline Expands, New Saint, Radial Tires, & More
True it may be.
But Arc’teryx has sold out and is now able in JD Sports making it just a plain old common chav street brand worn by kids on surons and other sub optimal individuals I chose not to be associated with.
Slightly snobby but values is values.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Risk Riding Alone?
Literally went and sessioned the local abandoned trails this morning and whilst I was there, I checked out a bronze age stone circle that I never knew existed.

What Pump Tracks Really Do For The Riding Community
Interesting. I thought (and know) that pump tracks are for little tiny kids on three wheel micro scooters with a gaggle of mums and some random off-lead dogs crapping every where. Oh and a puddle in some of the dips.
Thats the general UK track anyway.

Video: UK's Biggest Bike Park Opens New Black DH Tech Trail
BPW is a place I struggle with. My teenage kids like ridding there but at £50 a go, thats £150 in tickets, £100 in fuel, £70 in road food and lunch there (granted I could do tesco). That’s over £300 for s day of MTB. We could fly to Geneva for less and get cheap accommodation in the alps….
As such I bought an ebike and a tow rope to deal with the lack of uplifts elsewhere and it was a winning result.

Thule Acquires Quad Lock in $327 Million Deal
I think most folks here seem to know little of Quadlock.
Forget the MTB application so much, though think hope many folks use a Garmin device for xc so it’s no different- or even a ebike screen! In the motorbike and car world it is massive. I have been using their stuff including car mounts, motorbike mounts, running arm bands, and even a bike mount for years And its awesome kit.
You can buy fake QL stuff so that is a slight indicator.
Thule have made a wise move here.

Review: The Adventure Dog Channel - Training the Ultimate Trail Dog
I have said it before and I will say it again. Do not take a dog mtb’ing. Its just stupid and reckless.
I have a large scar from hitting a friend’s dog ridding when it crossed my path. The dog nearly got put down. I was in no way sorry for the dog as frankly I was in agony for days.
Another friend’s dog sliced its paws open on a flinty section.
Another pulled him off when it got distracted by a rabbit.
I dont want your dog near me when I ride nor do I want to ride through its crap.
In the UK you should have it on a lead in most places anyway such as forestry, grazing areas etc.
Its just dumb and its also cruel. And its defo not cool.

Liv's 2023 Intrigue LT is Their Most Aggressive Bike Yet
I have a carbon Giant road bike. Cracked the frame (probably from doing the seat collar too tight). It had never seen the inside of a shop since purchase. Replaced with no issue. Giant were amazing. Think turn around was a week.
My mate had a Trance with carbon wheels and they warranted those as well after a bad landing at BPW.
So real world, Giant have a very good warranty customer service

Then you ride through a puddle and have wet cold feet for the rest of the day as water runs down your legs….

Canfield Bikes Announces Special Blend Stems
Appears to be an off the shelf rebranded stem that looks exactly like one I have seen sheered in half.
