Big up for the One Ups! They are grippier, lighter, cheaper and more durable than any alloy pedal I've had.

Review: Delium Versatile Tire - Value & Performance for $45
Nice...decent fresh tires > high end worn tires. The mtb bike tire world is ripe for disruption. I ride moto and the tire choices are far more plentiful and prices are about the same, if not less. I'm going to give these a try. I'd also highly recommend Versus. I've run a pair for the last few months and really happy with the blend of durability and performance.

Field Test: 2022 Santa Cruz Blur TR - The Cruz Missile
@owl-X: I was asking the question because I’m considering it. My Propain Tyee cable routing had to have been designed by the engineer who brought us Slingshot bikes and this would solve 50% of the problem.

Field Test: 2022 Santa Cruz Blur TR - The Cruz Missile
In short...meh. Also, is the slight improvement in shifting precision with AXS worth the added weight penalty? It doesn't make a ton of sense to me given the bike's intended use. Then again...blingy parts make for better parking lot chats.

Pinkbike Poll: What Do You Perceive to Be the Riskiest Outdoor Sport?
I'd like to argue with the people who think moto is much higher risk than MTB. Are you racing against 40 other joeys on a mx track doing triples? Then yes, it's more dangerous than mountain biking. Hitting up a track day or cruising tight singletrack? I'm not so sure about that. I'd guarantee most people here rip downhill just as fast on a MTB than most people on the same terrain riding moto. They problem is that we wear little more than chinsy foam helmets (cause that's all mtb helmets) and some knee guards designed for road rash. When I ride moto, it's boots, braces (neck and knee), a far better helmet, spine/chest protector and so on. Sure, speeds are higher at times but I'd argue it's somewhat offset by much more protective gear.
