Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Replace Your Tires?
I replace the front tire when it starts sliding too much, or when the rear needs replaced, then I put the old front on the rear, or if I damage the tire(sliced or ripped casing etc).
I will rarely put a new tire on the rear.

An Air-Pressurized Frame For Adventure Bikes? - Eurobike 2018
A fatter down tube would add more volume, I was wondering how much air you could get into a down tube too, nice to know roughly. Brake mount is clever but not that great of you want to use a different rotor size.

Flow Trail Overload? Or Never Enough Flow? - Pinkbike Poll
Definitely seems like most of the new trails are too smooth, I remember 20 yrs ago if a tree fell we would stack up smaller logs to go up and over, instead of cutting it out. And root sections used to be a fun challenge and great photo opportunity, now they are avoided or covered up.

Trek's Fox Float Thru Shaft Shock - Review
the yoke looking thing is clearance for the thru shaft, as the suspension compresses it pops out between there.

Talking About Tire Pressure - Pinkbike Poll
also depends on the season, winter I run softer, late spring/summer/fall I run harder, 3-5psi. I often put 30 in the back so I won't have a problem, wouldn't want to burp railing the corners when it is hero dirt. I would rather have less traction than risk burping or pinching a tire!

Staff Rides – Aston's European-Made Nicolai GeoMetron Super Bike
the chain would move the whole time adding friction/drag while coasting...adding movement...engagement is worse with 2 freehubs but is likely better than the extra drag, worth testing though I think.
