Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Wash Your Bike?
What a dumb azz survey. How about, answer: when it needs it. My bike’s always tuned and my drive train is clean and lubed. There’s now way I’m going to wash it every frickin ride, then ask why are my bearings are feeling rough. When my bike gets muddy or dirty because of rain and dirt sticking to it, it gets cleaned. I usually use a little dawn dish soap and a little car wash soap and almost never use high pressure wash unless that’s all that’s available and never pointed directly at the bearing. I’m with coyoterun, Muckoff!

Or you can just buy the Bike Yoke DeHy hydraulic to cable remote adapter and use and cable remote that you like. In my case it's hacked FD shifters.

Keeping It Fresh - Opinion
Right on! Age is a state of mind. I'm probably older than 90% of those here but I'm kind of in denial. Riding hard but a little smarter every time out. Still learning in my 60th decade, equipment's better than ever allowing me to still send it and ride the gnar. Crashing is way overrated for sure, recovery is slower as you get on in years. Never stop riding or skiing or climbing or paddling or...keep on keepin on!

Intense Spider 275C Factory Build - Review
@vernonfelton: I'd love to see the (I'm sure it's coming according to a reliable source) redesign of the Spider 29C with the iBox suspension. I've had both the Spider 29A and C with VPP2, currently riding the Following. How do you feel the pedaling and suspension compares between the VPP2 and the iBox of these new Intense bikes? How would you compare it to your Following wheel size not withstanding?
