Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Ride Instead of Drive?
What about trains? I rarely see any car from the inside but I regularly take the train to the start of my rides.

Shimano Consolidates Entry- to Mid-Level Groupsets With New CUES Drivetrains
They should have named it STX (RC).

Opinion: Why Weight Doesn't Matter
There are some good points but I think tyre choice is a bit more complex (without getting into tread patterns). This is totally subjective but a tyre can have too much grip and more importantly too much damping. If that is the case it kills all the playfulness of the bike. I rode an old Baron (I think it was the Project version) on the front wheel of my rigid bike and it had amazing grip and smoothness. It was only when I switched to a Minion DHF in Dual and regular EXO casing that the bike came to life. Much more work to stay on line in off-camber corners with roots but much easier to hop and play around. I prefer the latter.
Funnily enough the weight difference between those tyres isn't that big. About 100 grams if I recall that correctly. It's more the compound and casing design in general.

Five Things We (Sometimes) Miss About Older Bikes
When 1x drivetrains became a thing (a good one!) and everyone wanted direct mount chainrings without the easy option to add a bash ring? I don't know what happened first. Sill running old 104 mm cranksets for exactly that reason.

Opinion: Group Rides Are the Worst
I can't remember how often I have assured people not to worry about them holding me back just because I had to wait for them a couple of times. I'll gladly wait for good company. Yet somehow people still worry. Maybe they have ridden with too many Henrys in the past. Well, thanks. :/

Leatt Releases 2023 Product Range
Will the Airflex Pro knee guards remain in the lineup? I think they are great but those two new models do not seem to have the same coverage on the sides, which I find crucial.
