Amaury Pierron Sustained a C5 Vertebrae Fracture In Lenzerheide
Damn... this sux. Love watching his race runs. Was just talking with a co-worker the other day about biking and they were saying how it's amazing that these professional racers and Red Bull riders never get hurt. I was like, wait, what?! Are you serious? These top pros get hurt all the time! Mad respect for the limits these guys push past all the time!

Chris King Brings Back 6-Bolt Option
@TurboDonuts: bearings keep going out every few months (we've had a couple completely grenade on us), and my rear hub has noticeable flex at the drive ring that seems to load up and then just pops with a loud noise (several times during a ride). We have a couple wheel sets with these Hydras and both sets have these same issues. They are decent hubs, but not worth the price IMO. We ride around 3k to 3.5k miles a year on these things. Never experienced these issues on any other hubs.

Chris King Brings Back 6-Bolt Option
FFS! I just built a new wheelset with C.L. CK hubs (and WR1 Unions) and they announce this! Fine.... I'll just buy a set of the blue CKs 6-bolt and replace my troublesome i9 Hydras..

Video: Friday Fails #264
The rider laughing when he bounced off the tree! Haha... always great when the crash results in more embarrasment than injury!

How to Not Feel Stupid Walking Into a Bike Shop
Utterly B.S. comment here. You do realize that browsing leads to a lot of buying down the road, in the near future? In my sales experience, people who "browse" are researching and building a case for buying a particular item or bike.

Agreed! At first I was like, oh, I'm definitely going to hell for laughing so hard. Then I was like, damn, these trails look sick compared to my area!

Video: Welcome to the 2022 Fall Field Test
It's all about how you prioritize things and spend your money. I'm not wealthy, but all my bikes are very expensive (IMO). We prioritize bikes in my family over other things like an expensive house in an upscale neighborhood, new cars every 5 to 6 years, hiring contractors to do upgrades or repairs that we can manage ourselves, expensive vacations, etc., etc. All about compromise my friend.

@tfriesenftr: very subtle joke, but I still managed to spit my coffee up while reading and laughing. :)
