I do have to wonder how many variations of such proliferating items the market can bear. Especially when I read the bike industry is suffering right now with too much inventory. Either the barriers to entry are so low the risk of failure is acceptable; the margins so high that limited sales are profitable; "uniqueness" is what MTB'ers crave; and/or startup cash is available for solutions in search of a problem?? :-)

Story Time: When Bikes Aren't the Answer

Gotta add my "Mega-Dittos"! Henry is not only a high-level MTB'er; but MORE IMPORTANTLY, he's A Pulitzer quality writer! He has that rare talent to meld the "science" with the "heart". And to capture and re-inspire in the readers the emotion we've all felt. PINKBIKE: PLEASE NOTE, AS YOUR INDUSTRY GOES THROUGH A "CONSOLIDATION" AND COST-CUTTING RETRENCHMENT MODE: HENRY IS THE "GEM THAT KEEPS US COMING BACK"! Henry: Thanks for your inspired and inspirational riding and writing!

Spotted: Pivot's Lugged Carbon DH Bike Prototype

@brighterlights: So why don't the bike manufacturers make lugged carbon bikes? Seems as if it would reduce the production time/costs, be equally as strong as full carbon, allow lower price points (?), and give us yet another discussion debate item such as flat vs. clipped pedals. :-)

@danstonQ: Totally agree! Kaz is the Obi Won Kenobi of PB's crazy cast of characters. Superb writing, honest/no frills opinions, MTB skills galore, well-rounded life (dare I say Renaissance Man?), and always spot-on focus where it's required. Cheers and Thanks, Kaz!

Video: Welcome to the 2022 Fall Field Test

@howejohn: I'm a big Toyota fan ... a la our 1990 4-Runner still going strong. BUT gotta admit I couldn't/wouldn't afford any of the new "clapped out" Tacomas or 4-Runners. Of course, some running shoes now cost $250 and might last 250 miles. :-)
