Review: Shimano XT 8220 Brakes - More Consistency, Same Value
Been riding them for a few months and don't really see any difference over previous Shimano 4 caliper brakes.

Review: Shimano XT 8220 Brakes - More Consistency, Same Value
New fluid is significantly more expensive. Not backward compatible, so need to have both types of fluid if you have older brakes or saints. Nothing wrong with new brakes, but would stick with Saints.

Review: After 13 Years Shimano’s Saint Brakes Are Still on Top for Outright Power
Struggling with the sintered brake pads lately? Been running the DO2S for years and lately the pads seem too hard? Getting a lot of vibration and squealing that I have never had a problem with before. Same problem on multiple bikes. Does anyone know if the pad compound has changed?

Review: Specialized's New Turbo Levo 4 Has More Power, More Battery
Dear Specialized, I am so disappointed that your team has gone off the rails. I was eagerly waiting to get the new new levo, but now it looks like I need to look at other brands. It was so simple, all you had to do was increase power and battery on the latest sl. So bummed.

That Marzocchi fork looks pretty sweet. Wish the production forks looked so classy

The Whistler Mountain Bike Park's Early Season Trail Report
So did Vail piss off Pinkbike? No bike park coverage leading up to opening. No coverage during opening weekend. Finally six days later a post that looks like Vail probably paid for....

Zoic edge pants, totally addicted. Only $85 bucks. Fairly lightweight and breathable. Just nice to pull off after a ride and have clean legs.

Pinkbike Poll: What Was the Greatest Advancement In Mountain Bike Technology?
V-brakes. Hydraulic are awesome, but the biggest improvement in one step was going from standard cantilever to V-brake
