Pinkbike Poll: How Reliable Are Modern Mountain Bikes?
A few years ago when I was getting back into biking I rode a £250 full sus shed with Shimano drivetrain for two years on double blacks and it was faultless not even a single puncture. Now my £150 SRAM mech is shit

My SRAM GX mech will not stay tuned. I ride 10 miles out into middle of nowhere and it starts jumping all over the place. Ever ride

Hiker to Claim Self Defence After Right of Way Dispute Stabbing
As a Brit this whole thing seams mental. I mean who takes a knife on a hike?? In the UK just having a knife on your person in public is up to 4yrs jail time. When we have these kinds of on trail arguments we normal wait till we've passed each other and then yell something from a safe distance and then go home for a angry cup of tea to calm the old nerves

Video: Celebrating Larger Riders in 'All Bodies on Bikes'
I'll put my hand up and say I'm a fat cyclist. All the men in my family from the age of 18 blow up and carry a fair bit of body fat despite dieting and exercising. But after starting to go to the gym to help my cycling I fell in love with strongman and that became my main sport I've trained and competed in strongman now for 4 years and stand at 300lb. The main problem is I'm looking for a new bike and I'm to heavy for a lot of bikes. So it's like a catch 22 I'm fat and need to exercise but I'm to heavy for exercise equipment. ♂️

Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Replace Your Tires?
My current tyres are 3 years old. But to be fair I don't get out as much as I would like anymore. Strava says I've done 270miles on them.
