Pinkbike Poll: Do You Care What Your Bike Looks Like?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, just sometimes the beholders happen to have horrible taste.

Val di Fassa Enduro World Cup Preview: Who’s Racing, How to Follow Along & What to Expect
@cashew: thanks again for the info! Gonna research how to get there with the bikes as we’re renting and don’t have a car rack.

Val di Fassa Enduro World Cup Preview: Who’s Racing, How to Follow Along & What to Expect
@cashew: Looks rad! My partner is more on the intermediate side of things, how's the descent in terms of technical difficulty?
Only have a few days there and will have grandparents and our 1-year-old in tow, so realistically just 1, 1.5 days of riding. Think we'll likely just stick around Canazei unless it's easy to transport a bike over to Falcade for that ride.

Val di Fassa Enduro World Cup Preview: Who’s Racing, How to Follow Along & What to Expect
For folks that have ridden Fassa and surrounding - If you had to pick between riding the Fassa trails bike park style or doing the Sellaronda MTB with some alternate descents thrown in, which would you do and why? Heading there in a couple weeks and still on the fence on how to experience the riding in the area.

Review: The Forbidden Reya Throws Conventional XC Geometry Out the Window
@cassinonorth: I had the previous gen Spur and I actually disagree. The Element (flex stay version) is less eager to get into it's travel so far in my experience which leads to a more "snappy" sensation at the expense of less grip over tech - at least how I define snappy. The first gen Spur might be a little quicker maneuvering with the shorter wheelbase but now that it's gained some length overall I'd guess the difference is negligible to nonexistent.

Review: The Forbidden Reya Throws Conventional XC Geometry Out the Window
@nicoSB: I love mine but also tend to agree with Matt's sentiments on the Reya, keep it fun and a lightweight/fast rolling build. Once you start throwing a 140mm fork, burley tires, etc. you should just get something like a Smuggler.

Canfield Unveils V3 Tilt & Lithium with "Geometry-Static" Dropout System
@phops: if there’s anything that can bring together PB commenters it’s the appeal of an affordable/bang for the buck alloy mtb. This leads me to believe the comments on no water bottle in the front triangle on the trail/enduro bike being a true concern. But hey, if Canfield wants to continue to miss out on market share that’s their prerogative.
