Bummer. Those guys that didn't get to drop looked gutted, especially Zink.

Pinkbike Poll: How Big Are Your Favourite Flat Pedals?

I like Deity Deftraps the best. I wear size us 11.5 and I feel like the balls of my feet are secure in the concave portion of the pedal through fast rough terrain and they are wide enough when I need to haphazardly throw my foot on a pedal without looking there's a really good chance it will end up in a "ridable" position which is nice when you don't have much of a run up. They absolutely shred my shoes though which is getting to be kind of annoying.

5 New SPD Trail & DH Pedals Tested: Can Anyone Beat Shimano?

Yeah I get that too. I have only spent real time on a low end VP branded SPD XC style pedal but I tried different shoes with them and I always had numbness and weird pressure. Not to mention the fact that no matter how far back I slid the cleats, I always felt like I was up on my toes. my calfs would be smoked after a ride that had any notable amount of descending. I once attempted to use a crankbrothers mallet but I couldn't get over the bizarre floating on ice feeling so I never tried them on the trail. Every couple of years I get the urge to try again. Maybe I will try a different pedal next time.

Pinkbike Poll: Have You Upgraded Your Handlebar?

I just lied to fit in but I do plan to swap bars this summer for a little more rise and I might even consider switching to Cabron Fiber!

Surly Expands Their Trail Bike Lineup With the Sorceress Hardtail

Mildly similar to a custom frame I used to ride. Super fun and versatile but at this price point why not custom order a much cooler build from a small brand? That being said, I am always happy to see new steel bikes hit the market.
