5 New SPD Trail & DH Pedals Tested: Can Anyone Beat Shimano?

Intend Teases WonderNipple Concept
Surely I can't be the only one that replaces spokes only if I don't have to remove the tire. If it breaks at the nipple it is broken until the next time I need to remove the tire for some other reason.

Review: FSA Gradient i30 Carbon Wheels - Stiff & Strong

First Ride: The Odyssey Optis is a Tunable Tire Insert
Procore worked great, but the rubbing between the inner tire and the outer tire polymerized all the sealant, often gluing the two tires together. Total PITA. Seems like the same thing would happen here.
