Reclaim Designs Scales Down Carbon Frames for Kids
@tall-martin: Thanks. That one was a Giant Anthem in size medium from about 10 years ago. Now it's a modern large that works well with a 130mm fork

Old Gold: 2015 Camelbak Skyline 10R
I found the MULE that I still use today in a ditch covered in mud circa 2005. Looked old then. I've had to replace the zips twice and reattach one shoulder strap, but it still works great after 15 years of being overload and having my bike sitting on it when I carry it up hills without pedal access. I've never found another pack that balances my bike on my back so well. Bladder didn't last long though, I prefer bottles so just put them inside the pack.

Radic Performance Announces New Boutique Brakeset from New Zealand
@conoat: People of all political persuasions like mountain biking. People in New Zealand tend to be more left leaning than people in the United States, although both enjoy a free market economy. Anyone who genuinely believes that either is a shithole is probably brainwashed.

New Motors, Derailleurs, & Yetis: EWS Crans-Montana 2022
@kovyrshin: where are you getting these $15 hangers? Where I live it's often cheaper to buy a new derailleur than a new hanger, at least for brands with machined hangers

Understanding the UCI's New Policies for Transgender Athletes
@human-after-all: Isn't the whole point of transitioning to be able to live like the gender you feel like? If you categorise someone as other you're removing that possibly, which in turn makes an effective transition incompatible with competing in an Other category. Perhaps the UCI have got it right? Perhaps there is no fair way to do it? I don't know but I'm glad they're trying
