Story Time: When Bikes Aren't the Answer
Late to the game here, but reiterate the sentiment that THIS is the type of content that brings me to a site. Bike porn and reviews are cool and have their place, but this is "the good stuff" (Robin Williams character in Good Will Hunting). Its not all sales and commerce for F_cks sake. We're all because of a passion for bikes, and i suspect a fairly high percentage use bikes as a refuge of some sort. The world is on fire, and somehow the sound of hollow rubber on dirt provides solace. And even then sometimes you have to put it down and recharge. Peace, Henry. And thanks for this.

Pinkbike Editors' Christmas 2023 Wish Lists
Throwing it out there for the "there's no hitch made for my car" set... You can purchase the raw receiver part of a hitch in both standard sizes fairly inexpensive, and some raw steel tube or angle material, and a competent welder can fab something up relatively easily. Years ago i had a 2nd gen mercedes slk that had no option. Found a couple of factory subframe bolts and bumper attachment bolts that were easily replaced with longer ones to allow the custom hitch to mount up, and was good to go. Had about what a hitch would cost anyway into the materials and a case of beer for my welder neighbor, and it was totally kickass having the only slk with a hitch. Was even able to hide it behind the flexible lower part of the rear bumper. Highly recommend as a satisfying project on any car that doesnt have an existing option. Obviously would not actually use it to tow.

Review: Reeb Steezl - US Made & Super Capable
I thought dead ringer for mid 2000s K2 mtbs... also meh, although I'm sure everything is better from kinematics and performance. Cool bike regardless.

Check Out: Fiber Enhanced Sealant, Gloves, Shoes, Packs, Books, & Frame Protection
Cant speak to the environmental friendliness of it, but ive found that a roughly 2 parts to 1 part mixture of Flatout Sportsman Formula and Stan's sealant will actually seal puncture holes fast and stays liquid in the tire rather than forming the dried up skin.
Been experimenting with most of the off the shelf offerings, both bike industry and otherwise, as well as homebrew. this works best out of all ive tried. Last ride i landed a jump short and cased the rear tire direct on a sharp rock. Instant hiss and deflate to about half the previous pressure, but when i stopped to inspect, it had already sealed a classic pinch puncture in the tread and at the rim bed. Pumped up and kept rolling.
