Crankworx Whistler Names 2026 Deep Summer Finalists & Opens Pinkbike Wildcard

I think Deep Summer is really cool as there arent many events that put a focus on photography in mtb. However im a bit disappointet in the contenders, at least from what i can gather from their ig. Except Josh Woodward they all seem kind of bland, without much personal style or creativity. The bare minimum should be a well curated ig landing page. If it is completely white from snow shots or just standard shots of someone flying through the air, it doesnt really inspire me to keep looking...

Video: Reece Wallace Rides One Of BC's Best Public DH Trails

What happened to the og memphis? Looks very different. I mean its amazing trailwork but the rough and loose memphis was kinda iconic

BBB's CoreCap Promises 300% the Air Flow of Presta for Faster Tire Inflation

@Kaspitch: sounds interesting, checking pressures is the only time im annoyed by presta. Does clik work with amy standard pressure gauge? Which one do you use?

Interview: Meet the Chinese Rider Going Viral for His Massive Freeride Sends

I wonder if this can be real, i mean some of it is for sure, but who in his right mind would send some stairs like that with a half shell or without the chinstrap tightened? Not to mention he did some without any helmet! Im no expert but the first video in the slow mo part also looks a bit like ai to me. Im not accusing wang, but i would like someone to fact check this and pb to make some statement regarding his safety equipment, he is honestly a horrible role model haha

First Ride: The Crossworx Dash 290 Shines on Steep Climbs

I dont really get the point about the front center, could you elaborate? To me reach seems pretty standard for an enduro bike with 480 in L and 510 in XL. Sure, the HA is steeper, but i havent seen a lot of enduro bikes get much longer in the reach…

Joe’s No Flats Releases Suspension & Dropper Post Smoother

@mariomtblt: true but the foam rings are soaked in 20wt on both sides anyways, as it is the better oil for lubrication. A tiny bit of 20 wt wont make a difference mixed in with the 5 wt damper oil

Joe’s No Flats Releases Suspension & Dropper Post Smoother

Crazy someone still tries to market something like that. I thought it was basic knowledge by now that these penetrating oils flush out and dissolve the suspension grease and make performance worse in the long run

First Ride: Knolly's New 2025 Delirium Has 190mm of Travel & Room for a Bottle

@phops: To be honest i did ride it mostly on more technical tracks so far, and there it was fine. Rollover isnt as good as a 29er as expected, but other than that it was totally fine. Didnt have any problems in faster sections. I dont really like jump trails so i cant say much about that, but i can imagine it being sub optimal there haha. Mine weighs about 19kgs... But for what it is i even found it jumped acceptably well. But i can imagine that the geo between your bullit and the my stinky is also quite a difference, from what limited data i found the stinky is quite a bit slacker and has longer chainstays, that might play a role.

First Ride: Knolly's New 2025 Delirium Has 190mm of Travel & Room for a Bottle

@phops: I restored a 2007 Kona Stinky last year, and honestly its quite impressive. Its really fun to ride in the park and sure, its not a monster truck like modern 29ers, but you get down anything, the suspension performance is great and cornering is even easier and faster thanks to the tiny wheelbase. All in all super fun to ride. And i was actually surprised by how capable that bike still is

First Look: Hope's New EVO Brake Range

Ive had the Tech4 V4 for a year now and am super happy with them. In my experience so far (with shimano ice tech rotors) they rub almost never, better than shimano in my opinion. I have the feeling that the pistons glide so easily that the rotor simply pushes them back if they start rubbing. Overall very silent in my experience
